Wonderful, caring doctors – I love this practice group. I first met Dr. Keith in the hospital in March 2010 after the birth of my first child (I now have 2 children). She is amazing. She is brilliant and caring, and was willing to patiently listen and respond to all of my new-mom questions and concerns. Due to timing, she met us at the office on a Saturday for our first well-baby visit (they do not normally have Saturday hours). I have since met all of the doctors in the group, though most frequently I see Dr. Keith and Dr. ... read more

Giving up on this practice – I am so relieved to read that other folks have had similar experiences with Dr. Saken, because I was beginning to believe he simply hated me and/or my young child. He is rough, gruff, condescending, and impatient. Instead of putting my child at ease, he scared her even more. He may be an excellent doctor but to be a pediatrician you have to have some sort of bedside manner and, hopefully, simply like children. Awful. I have also had odd experiences w/ Dr. Wang, so I think it's time to switch prac... read more

GENERALLY A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE – I've read the other reviews, causing me to chime in... I've been going here for 2 years. Papageorge is our doctor, but we've seen all of them, and we've spoken to all of them after hours. Thus, I feel qualified to comment on this practice group. The group has good hours. Of course I wish they had weekend hours, but hey, they have a good call-back, which I only use in lieu of going to the emergency room (on weekends or night). If I have a question during their work hours, I will call, give a ... read more

Hit or Miss – I bring my son into Soho Pediatrics and have found them quite unpredictable but generally competent. They have a doctor (I can't remember his name) who can vary from kind to condescending. We had an incident with him when he asked if we were giving our child 'tummy time' and when we answered that our child hated tummy time he replied curtly: "That's not what I asked!" That in and of itself is not a major problem but it's an example of what can be expected. Dr. Wang is particularly rude if she's bothered on the ... read more

LOVE Soho Pediatrics – I changed from Park Ave Pediatrics to Soho Pediatrics when I was pregnant with my youngest dd (now 7yrs). I'd had a horrible experience at PA pediatrics. I loved Soho Pediatrics from my first interaction with them. Later, when my then newborn became very sick within 48hrs of my bringing her home. Dr Saken basically saved her life, correctly diagnosing her condition and getting her seen immediately by the appropriate specialist. He and Dr Keith are wonderful, professional and very experienced pediatrici... read more

Changed practice – I used to take my daughter (she started going there at 2) and had Dr. Wong as primary care physician. Yes, she is young and nice but is incompetent as Dr. She failed to diagnose ear infection and in our 2nd visit, she was busy and got Dr. Papageorge who diagnosed her correctly and gave us the prescription. Do not expect to have many prescriptions written by Dr. Wang, she never did in more than a year. If you have to go there, ask for Dr. Papageorge, she is professional and seemed to be well experienced. As... read more

Never had a bad experience – We would never sign up for health insurance that didn't allow us to take our kids to SoHo Pediatrics! Our 12 &10 year olds haven't had a single off-note. Our boy's gone to Marie Keith and our girl to Robert Saken their whole lives, and Dr. Wang has come through for us with "spot on" counsel several stressful times. More than once, we've had to call on them from remote places and been helped by their responses. From the first scare with our 2 day old, to careful advice to a 12-year old, we've seen... read more

Dr. Keith makes it worth the hassle – Dr. Keith is amazing-- smart, warm, respectful of kids and parents. We love her. The receptionist is awful-- nasty, dismissive, not helpful, but that's what you have to put up with to have your child taken care of by Dr. Keith. Dr. Wang seems OK, but Dr. Saken is cold and condescending and makes parents and kids alike feel worse just from his presence. Overall, Dr. Keith is worth the trouble, but if she retires, the whole practice will disappear.

Great pediatrics practice – Soho Pediatrics is a great, solid practice. I especially like Dr Saken. He has seen both my kids since they were infants. When I interviewed pediatricians before having my first child, this was the only practice that gave one-on-one interviews, which I think really represents how they are once your children are patients. I've had nothing but great experiences with the practice in the last 4 years. The waiting room is sometimes a little crowded and you do sometimes have to wait 15 minutes to be see... read more
