We are three NYC based pediatrician moms who saw a gap in the system.
While telemedicine has been exploding on the mom scene, we realized sometimes parents just want a sounding board - a friend with knowledgable experience to talk things through with. Collectively but separately, our phones were dinging left and right with questions from friends, friends of friends and friends of friends of friends!
The reality is there’s a LOT of information on the internet regarding child health. Of course - some of it true - but some of it is also very false. What frustrated us so much was that parents and patients are left to navigate through all the (scary!) noise themselves.
We wanted to be a resource for you to ask the questions. To clarify the facts. And, most importantly, to provide that reassurance. We do NOT replace your pediatrician and are not a substitute for in-person health care, but we hope to be able to make healthcare decisions for your child a little less scary.
We’re not influencers.
We are ACTUAL DOCTORS with real answers (and zero hashtags).
When you text us, you aren’t just getting one board certified doctor – you are getting three! We work together, combining our perspectives and expertise, to ensure you’re getting thoughtful, well-rounded advice. Medicine isn’t one-size-fits-all – every family is different, and what works for one might not work for another.
