Happy & Healthy Pediatrics

I switched my sons doctor and brought him over to happy&healthy pediatrics when he was about 2 and it was the best thing I’ve done. Right away Dr Reuben noticed my sons breathing problem and recommended surgery which helped his snoring and breathing overnight! Dr. Reuben is extremely down to earth and so easy to talk to. Although be prepared for how hard it is to book an appointment with her which is why I gave it one less star, since the other Doctors to me are just not as good

I wish I was able to give this place zero stars. The office staff is incompetent. While I was waiting to speak to the office manager 2 other parents came in and walked out after complaining about the poor care their children received. Dr Beena Jose is a joke. She billed my insurance for a 99 204 consultation for my daughter and documented that she spent 45 minutes counseling us. In reality she spent a little over 5 minutes with my daughter and then had the nurse do the rest. The office manager is an idiot. The receptionists are rude. The office is not appealing at all. It looks like a basement. Prior to my appointment I emailed them twice and called 4 times. Not once did anyone acknowledged me. As a NP take my word when I advise you to avoid this place at all cost.

Love this practice! We just relocated to CT and I will miss Dr. Reuben and the way this office is the most! They are always there when you need them. Whenever my daughter was sick or I was just being that paranoid new mommy, they saw me right away and always eased my worries. My daughter had acid reflux so we were in the office a lot and had to see all the doctors because a lot of our appointments were made on the fly. They all were so helpful and gave us all the information and help that we needed. Being new parents they were our support group! Having the patient portal and being able to write to Dr Reuben about questions that may not be important enough for a phone call was great! She always got right back to me. I also never had to wait in the office for my appointments. Having a newborn and now toddler that is very important! I only hope to find something just as good here in CT.

We’ve been paitents for 3 years. Dr. Rubin’s popularity is well deserved and while the practice has grown, the quality of care remains personal and superb. Thankfully, my son is very healthy and we only see Dr. Rubin for well visits (scheduled WELL in advance) but to this day, I am SO grateful for her personal attention when he was a newborn. We had access to her personal cellphone and she always took our calls and answered all of our stupid questions (never making us feel they were stupid though 3 years later, I realize they were lol).
Dr. Rubin, I am indebted to you forever. I would not have managed to breastfeed my son for 20 months had it not been for your support in those early, difficult days.

Dr. Rubin is great and personable. She makes you and your child feel comfortable. She is good at explaining things and answering all questions? The nurses and staff are great too. Very professional and on top of things.

Still the best pediatrician around. Kelly R don’t make everything about race. Dr. rubin is an awesome doctor and i’m sorry if you feel you had a bad experience and yes i’m white and my boyfriend is black. Dr. Rubin always treats us with the utmost respect.

Dr. Rubin has been my son’s doctor since he was born. She’s awesome! From the day she came to the hospital to this day, I have no complaints about her as a doctor. She is very attentive, has her on checklist of questions she asks during each visit, and provides her professional opinion as well as personal/​motherly advice. I chose her because she was a solo doctor practice, and I wanted my kid (s) to see only 1 doc. She went beyond expectations to make sure she was available for emergencies. However, her popularity (which is well deserved) has forced her to expand the business and hire an additional doctor who is more well versed in adolescents than in infants and toddlers, and never actually provides an actual diagnosis when my child is sick.
Now, I can rarely get an appt with Dr. Rubin when my child is sick. A third doctor joined the practice, which helps the issue. It can get frustrating when it’s Dr. Rubin you want your child to see, so I just hope you’re lucky enough to schedule with her!

The doctors and staff are respectful and accommodating. There is never a long wait because of how hard they work to stay on time. This is a practice that treats the whole child.
Parents are made to feel comfortable with treatments and approaches. They look beyond the symptoms and make efforts to get to root of problems. My son is in good hands here. We moved and still drive 30+ miles knowing the care we’re getting is the best in Long Island.

I just left from this place. I feel like this place does not want black patients! If you are black don’t go here. The pediatrician acts like a supervisor more than what you would expect from a pediatrician. She was not friendly to my son at all! And even told me «a normal 4 ½ yr old does not behave like this». My son was in a bad freakin mood, does that not happen to 4yr olds? Are you not trained to work with 4yr olds. I came here because i saw a good review, that person was probably white. The end.

I went to Happy & Healthy Pediatrics for the first time yesterday and LOVED it! The office is really nice — they have a feeding room, separate sick and well waiting rooms, a kitchen area with free coffee and tea, and a changing table station with wipes and diapers. Dr. Rubin’s main exam room is very large and easily accommodates a stroller. The people working at the front desk were helpful and sweet. There are two doctors in the practice and Dr. Rubin is also a lactation consultant.
Dr. Rubin is amazing! She listened carefully to everything I had to say and answered my questions in such a way that I didn’t feel stupid for asking them (very important!). I was there for about an hour and didn’t feel rushed at all. At the end of each visit you get a printout of your baby’s measurements, etc. and if Dr. Rubin has a recommendation for you (product, technique) she writes it down and gives you the slip of paper; this may seem like a silly thing to point out but it’s extremely helpful when you’re juggling a baby. I was very impressed with her and found her to be patient and helpful. I highly recommend this practice.
One thing to point out: the entrance isn’t right on Jericho Turnpike. You have to turn down Elm Place, make a right, and go down a ramp. This is not a big deal but I thought I’d mention it in case anyone has trouble finding the office.

Dr. Elissa Rubin she is so amazing!!! she sends out emails, responds to calls and emails in minutes, so helpful, friendly and EFFICIENT!!! Her office is amazing she has a nursing/​feeding room, changing table with diapers and wipes and just an overall amazing DR! She is also a lac specialist which is amazing for me since I am breast feeding
