Katerina Silverblatt, MD

dr silverblatt is the best pediatrician I have ever seen. she was incredibly thorough, validating, listened well but did not mince words. I am used to peditricians who use the «everything’s fine!» approach and miss things. not so with dr. silverblatt. I am so grateful that we have found her.

I had one appointment with this doctor (for my newborn) and then immediately found a new pediatrician. She was condescending, rushed, laughed at my questions and when she handed me a paper with scribbles of some tea and other things I should buy to help promote breastfeeding, and every word was spelled wrong, I decided we were not a good match. I would not recommend this pediatrician. We use Dr. Newman in Williamsburg now and are very happy.

We original planned to see Dr. Silverblatt but front desk didn’t let us know that Dr. Finkelman will be on duty that day. Anyway, that’s not the point. We arrived on time for our appointment and saw Dr. Finkelman first time. He was TERRIBLE and VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I don’t remember it’s «requirement» that doctor have to ask my nationality and find out our job titles so details to put into his system. I finally said «can you please focus on baby?». God… damn .it…i think that piss him off.
After the flu shot, the baby still bleeding from the shot, then Dr. Finkelman just walked out the room without putting a bandage on my baby thigh. one of vaccination was oral intake. He put into my baby mouth and grab her throat and said trust me, I learned it by feeding my cat medicine. She will swallow it. Baby started cried very loud and throw out. He used the paper that baby laid on to wipe her mouth off, WTF… that’s dirty. I was really piss off!!!

Dr. Silverblatt was recommended to me by a friend whose daughter goes to see her.
I thought she was fine. Not as engaging as doctors I was used to in Atlanta, but I chalked that up to the «New York thing».
She listened to my concerns and overall, everything with her was fine.
There are 2 other doctors in this office. Dr. Finkelman was TERRIBLE. He treated me like I was an idiot and talked down to me and thankfully, we only saw him once. I hate to say this, but just avoid going to Heights Pediatrics. There is too much of a risk you would have to go see the other doctors and it’s not worth it.
