Hi all,

I'm new to Mamasource.... Just moved to Katonah, NY, and we're expecting our first baby in a few weeks. Time to find a pediatrician! Could anyone recommend one in Northern Westchester? Anyone happen to know about the peds at Mt. Kisco Medical Group?

Many thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Wow, that was like magic.... Thank you all for the speedy and helpful responses! I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time on Mamasource now that I've found it. :)

I have heard good things about both Dr. Purvis and Dr. Zapson, so it's great to hear those recommendations enthusiastically confirmed (just what I was hoping for). And the best part is that they're both right in Katonah. The only misgivings I'd had about them came from someone mentioning that MKMG is overloaded and too busy, with pediatricians devoting five minutes to each appt. But sounds like that's not necessarily true of all their peds.

Again, many thanks for your help!

Your new neighbor,
L.

All the doctors are great. I have been taking my daughter to Dr. Mallo at the MKMG and she is wonderful.

Dr. Pete Richel's group in Mount Kisco is GREAT! They are on Smith Avenue, 2 blocks from the hospital. I am a physician assistant in the area and many doctors I work with use their group too! ###-###-####.

Hi L.-

I've been taking my children to Dr. Kathy Purvis since they were born. She is with Katonah Medical on Route 117. She is wonderful, as is the whole practice. I know several mothers in the area who take their children to her and they all speak very highly of her.

Good Luck!

Hi L.,
I just moved from Mount Kisco to CT. I hated that I had to leave our Ped. We used Dr Pete Richel and Dr Nick Germanokos. They are in Mt Kisco and have a great group. Dr Pete is the head of Peds at Northern Westchester Hosp. Absolutely AMAZING!!! I have tried 3 or 4 Peds up here and have not found one like them. I actually heard people say they didn't like MKMG. It is so hectic over there and so busy/chaotic. I don't know first hand though.

Good luck. You are going to love Katonah.

I absolutely loved Dr. Maria Zapson at the Katonah Medical Group. It's right downtown at 111 Bedford Road. She was great when I had my first child - very caring and took time to answer any questions. Good luck!
