LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. , April 1, 2014/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- PM
Pediatrics, an award-winning provider of specialized urgent care from
cradle through college, will open its doors in Carle Place, NY on
Thursday, April 17. The new location marks PM Pediatrics' fourth Long
Island practice, and its tenth overall in the New York Metropolitan
area. The 4,834 square foot office is located at 181 Old Country Rd.
in the Toys 'R' Us shopping center, across the street from the
entrance to Roosevelt Field Mall. PM Pediatrics of Carle Place
features the company's first-ever Wild West theme, and offers on-site
x-ray and lab, 12 exam rooms and two procedure rooms. Dr. Elliott
Friedman will serve as Medical Director, overseeing all medical
operations for the practice. Dr. Friedman is board-certified in both
Pediatrics and Pediatric Emergency Medicine, and has worked as an
urgent care physician at PM Pediatrics in Syosset since 2007.
PM Pediatrics has the following 10 urgent care locations throughout
the New York and New Jersey:
-- Long Island: Syosset, Selden, North Babylon and Carle Place
-- New York City: Bayside, Queens and Cobble Hill, Brooklyn
-- Westchester: Mamaroneck
-- Rockland: Spring Valley
-- New Jersey: Livingston and North Brunswick
Each PM Pediatrics office is open Monday through Saturday, from Noon
to Midnight, and on Sundays and select holidays from 10:00am to
Midnight.
"Over the past several years, Dr. Friedman has made a huge impact on
the patients and families he has served on Long Island, with his
wealth of experience as a pediatric emergency physician and avid
educator," said Dr. Jeffrey Schor, managing member of PM Pediatrics.
"We are proud to have reached our tenth location milestone with the
new Carle Place practice, and further our mission to provide
unparalleled urgent care to children and young adults, everywhere."
Every state-of-the-art PM Pediatrics practice is staffed by Pediatric
Emergency Specialists, including board-certified pediatricians and
pediatric emergency physicians, who provide care and treatment for a
broad array of illness and injuries including asthma, fever and other
infections, dehydration, sprains and fractures, wounds requiring
stitches, and much more. Each office has on-site digital x-ray which
produces high resolution images read by a board-certified pediatric
radiologist, and sent easily to a patient's primary care physician or
orthopedist. Additionally, the practices feature a comprehensive
laboratory on-site, which performs blood and urine tests and a variety
of rapid tests for infectious diseases.
Unlike traditional urgent care practices, PM Pediatrics specializes in
treating children and young adults. They believe strongly in a child's
medical home and do not offer wellness visits, physicals, school
check-ups or immunizations. PM Pediatrics takes special care to send
each patient's medical record to their primary care provider the day
of their visit, ensuring timely follow-up and continuity of care. Each
location also has access to specialists such as plastic surgeons or
orthopedists, as needed. All PM Pediatrics locations are uniquely
themed and feature TVs in every exam room, creating a warm, welcoming
environment for kids and adults alike. This model of care, comfort and
convenience has been enthusiastically received with over 450,000
patient visits to date.
