Streetlevel: Tribeca Pediatrics Expands to Boerum Hill

the Brooklyn Heights office was first to open, years before Williamsburg. But I think that practice is now de-associating from the chain.

wow - just checked the website and that appears to be true. That sucks because Boerum Hill is so much closer to us, but I do like Dr. Dehovitz at the BH office and feel guilty abandoning her....

oh great. not enough with chain drug stores,coffee outlets, fast food...now we have chain MDs offices
(as well as those obnoxious new dentist companies).

why would you abandoned her? I like Dehovitz too and I'm sticking with her -- no matter what name on front says

What does is say? It says Brooklyn has an inferiority complex and will always be the red-headed stepchild.

I was hoping there would be a deli or something that stays open late nights..a little disappointed to discover it's a pediatrics place.

I would abandon her just to avoid the long walks to BH. I don't give a hoot about the name of the practice - in fact, I can't stand Michele Cohen, even though I find him unbelievably handsome....

Well, considering the breeding rate in NYC, pediatrics is a great racket. Cha-ching!

Completely agree about Michel Cohen and the annoyingness that is Tribeca Pediatrics. Why the need to expand so much? I really like Jana Dehovitz and am thrilled she is splintering off.

The reality is that it is a successful practice because they have a great staff and a philosophy that is closely aligned with a lot of new parents. The name is secondary, but there is no denying the power of branding.

the reality is they are successful because they accept new patients even if it means taxing their system. Pytlak and O'Connor stopped accepting new patients and Tribeca got the run-off. Now Dehovitz is saying 'enough' and delisting from this puppy mill.

But how do thy feel about veganism? Are the against vaccinations? Anti-circumcision? Pro-Family bed?

I grew up going to Dr. Thornhill on St. James or was it Cambridge, and Greene. He was $10 per visit for at least 18 yrs. Loved Dr. Thornhill!

I would take my children there just because the building is so damned gorgeous.

Dr. Jennings in Prospect Lefferts was only $5 per visit. Less than a co-pay today. But I guess he must've died about 25 years ago. Anybody remember Dr. Jennings?

Posted by: guest at December 10, 2007 5:26 PM

Dr Jennings was cheaper than Dr Thornhill? This can't be!

taking our daughter to the williamsburg location. it's a beautiful office and it's pretty easy right now to get an appointment although that might change. we've had a really great experience there. i am so much happier now with her care.

I don't care for the "brownstoner broad" terminology, however lightly meant.

Posted by: guest at December 10, 2007 9:12 PM

You nitwit, it says "brownstoner brood" - i.e., the kids not the wife.

Glaser on 8th Ave. is ok but I love, love, love my pediatric dentist Dr. Reyes at One Hanson Place.

Tribeca pediatrics is a good practice if there is nothing seriously wrong with your child. we learned that the hard way. image counts for very little when it comes to the health and safety of your child.
