Someone suggested I post here too....

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone on the HV Nest! I am a member of the HV bump board and someone suggested I post here as well because alot of moms are on this board too.

My husband and I live in Poughkeepsie, NY and are expecting our first baby at the end of Feb. I have been using the bump to get information on all the many questions that come up about pregnancy, labor, delivery and parenting.  Between working full time and finishing my masters full time I don't have much spare time, but when I do I try to check out whats happening on my local bump board.

I was hoping some of you might have recommendations for be about pediatricians in the Poughkeepsie area. My husband and I are not originally from around here and I don't have any friends in this area with children that could offer recommendations. I need to choose a pediatrician soon and would welcome any recommendations you parents on this board have! 

Thanks, and Happy New Year!!!

Maegen Party!!!

  • We go to Dr. Cicatello at Mid Hudson Medical Group. She's been great so far. I had to make an emergency appt on Friday and she was on vacation so my LO saw Dr.Nunez. I really liked her as well. Even though my experiences with the doctors there have been great, I had needed to speak with an on call nurse at 5am today and it took them an hour to call me back (after me calling 2x). That really ticked me off.

  • I'm no help (no kids and I live too far south for you) but I just wanted to say welcome to the board :)
  • I'm in Newburgh, but wanted to say hey and this board usually is a lot more active than the HV bump board. 

  • we use MHMG for pediatricans. Very nice. 3 locations ( poughkeepsie, fishkill and hopewell).

  • I used to use Children's Medical group in Fishkill. What I like about them is they will get you into the POK office for a sick visit if you need it. We used to go to Dr Haeburt. I loved him! We've since moved out of the area and were a bit sad to leave the practice.

  • I also live in Pok....We use Childrens Medical group right now and they have hours 7 days a week and nights which is why I like them. I have used them for day night and weekend hours and have never had an issue getting in. My LO has had a few ear infections and in the beginning had issues with colic and formula and they were super nice and helpful.

  • hello! welcome and CONGRATS!

    I live across the river in Ulster, but just a few minutes away from POK... I work in POK too.

    we use Childrens Med. Group - our main branch is in Modena, but use the Pok office when we need a night/wknd appointment.

    Look forward to you posting more over here...

    we have lots of kid friendly gtgs

  • I also use Children's Medical Group and love the fact that they have evening and weekend hours.

  • I'm not sure about pediatricians in poughkeepsie but i wanted to say congrats & welcome to the board.
  • I'm in upper westchester so don't have any recommendations but wanted to say welcome and congratulations!! I'm a working mom also so I can relate to the lack of free time ;) Happy New Year!
  • Thank you to everyone for your welcome's and recommendations! For those that suggested I call CMG, I am sorry to say the experience I had with them over the phone today was not a very good one. I was told they offer evening and weekend appointments for parents that work but they could not schedule me for a prenatal visit with them because of that reason (even though I work FT and an evening appointment is what I need). Sad So I won't be choosing them as my pediatrician.....I hope no one else has the same experience I did with them.
