Irondequoit Pediatrics

As a new mom, I highly recommend Irondequoit Pediatrics! They definitely get 5 stars after moving to this new location around the end of October.
With a newborn, I know that time is valuable so let me get down to the nitty gritty. Below are the main reasons why I like IP.
— They have late hours (Monday — Thursday until 7pm) and are open Saturday mornings, which is great for those who work typical business hours.
— There’s walk-​in hours twice a day.
— They have a lactation consultant, Dianne, who is very supportive. She even offered her personal cell number to me.
— Dr. Savage is warm, gentle, and attentive to my newborn. She also answers all of my questions.
— The waiting room has a section for the sick kids and another for the kids who are there for well visits. (Important to me because I don’t want my healthy newborn around the sick kids!)
— The patient room we were in was equipped for a nursing mom — boppy, disposable slipcovers, breastfriend (another type of nursing pillow), and a comfy rocking chair with foot rest. Nice touch! Also, there was a cute sign to put on the door to let others know to knock first before entering when nursing.
— The patient room also has diapers and wipes.
— Also, there’s a chalkboard for mini people to use to keep them entertained in the patient room.
— Décor is kid friendly and lucky for me, since I’m a Finding Nemo fan, aquarium-​themed.
— Office is bigger and freshly remodeled.
— Lastly, as a new patient, we received an infant binder with a growth tracker chart, family history form, office information, and other additional information. At each visit, we received an information packet that describes diet, hygiene, safety, behavior and development, and any other relevant information about our baby at the age she is at the time of the appointment (i.e. 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, etc.). Also, the nurse writes down my daughter’s height, weight, and head circumference on the packet for our records.
This is my first child and first experience with pediatrics and I am impressed and grateful for the attention and care given to my daughter.
