I have never really liked my peditrician but now I have gotten to the point that I hate him. He wont approve physical therapy for my younger son because he's young he'll grow out of it.
Does anyone know a good peditrician in the downtown Rochester, Greece or Henrietta area?
My physician was Dr. Kilimnik on S. Goodman Street, He joined the group
a few years ago when it was Schwartzberg and Soule. Then the older physicians
retired and I think Dr. Kilimnik is on his own at the office. He is a very nice
physician.
My childrens ped. is amazing he is located in greece.Dr.Benny Vitullo 225-2525.I don't know if he is accepting new patients,but it's worth a try.
We see a family Dr. who is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! Dr. Obrecht in Henrietta at Rush Family Medicine 334-0130 (prompt #2). Recommend everyone we know there.... always thorough and on safe side, great about letting us decide things as parents and amazing bedside manner. He even tells me to call in if one of us gets sick with the same thing the other has that might be contagious (like pink eye) to avoid another trip to the Dr.
As you can see, there are many opinions and people have different experiences at different offices. You have to find the right fit for you. We have had nothing but fine medical care at RUSH but someone else had problems. You need to take your children where you feel most comfortable and you need to like the Dr. and feel confident in their diagnosis. Good luck to you and God Bless.
I go to Dr. Joseph Kilimnick and he is on North Goodman near University. You can take 490 and get right on N. Goodman from there. He is a wonderful pediatrician and the office staff is wonderful as well. He accepts everything but Medicaid for insurance. He does take Child Health Plus, and the managed care plans for Family Health Plus. He runs his own private business so it is a nice cozy atmosphere.
If you are interested, the number is 271-2937.
I take my 2 sons to Dr. Smith-Burke on Island Cottage Road in Greece just a mile from 390. I had her as my ped and I think that she is wonderful!
My Peditrician is in Mendon but they are WONDERFUL and more then worth the drive.
Mendon Pediatriacs

*highly recommend either Dr. Donna Meyer or Dr. Jennifer Lesic
I dont want to slam anyone elses Dr but I persoanlly would NOT take my kids to Rush Family Medicine. I love Dr Obrecht BUT they are NOT Peds and when I took my daughter there when she was a newborn she was seeing Dr Maskiell and i knew something was wrong with her and he kept saying "no, there is nothing wrong with her" SO finally after 4 months of her screaming day and night and spitting up all over the place I decided to get a second opinion at my current peds office and before I could even tell her the whole story she was pescribing meds for acid reflux and my daughter was better within 2 days. I immediatly changed over and never took her back to Rush Family med.
I think if your kids are that little you NEED a peds office not just a family Dr.
And whatever you do...do NOT go to Dr Michael Martin!!!! My nephew ended up in the hospital and almost died because of that jerk!
Have you tried Strong? They seem to do well with special needs.
Please call Michael G Martin, MD. He is a pediatrician in Henrietta, New York. He supports attachment parenting, breast-feeding, and is a peaceful, gentle doctor. He will listen to parents, and feels that his patients are his medical family. He also gives parents his CELLPHONE for after hour emergencies. He is also brilliant, on the faculty at the Golisano Children's Center AND TOP PEDIATRICIAN in Rochester, NY for 2010! He seems to good to be true, but he's real.
Thank you all for your suggestions. I went with Dr. Kilmnick and I couldn’t be happier. My boys really like him and he actually listens to what I have to say.
