The best way to choose a PEDIATRICIAN IS TO SCHEDULE A FREE PRENATAL
CONSULTATION. During this 60-minute in-person meeting, you’ll be
able to sit down with Dr. GILGOFF TO DISCUSS HIS PHILOSOPHIES ON WHAT
TO EXPECT IN THE HOSPITAL, how to prepare for your newborn,
your baby's first days, breastfeeding/feeding schedules, jaundice,
germ avoidance, antibiotics, immunizations, office protocol,
emergencies, communication, and anything else that comes to mind!
Having a newborn is absolutlely the most exciting and rewarding
endeavor! And what better community to raise a child than here in
Brooklyn! But nowadays you can get completely stressed out, or even
overwhelmed by all the advice out there! Let's go over together how
to view these first few weeks, as well as a lot of "what if's".
You never want to think about your little one getting sick, but you
want to be in good experienced hands for that first fever or scary
looking rash. I have workied with children since 1986, and have
been a Pediatrician since 1996. I look forward to meeting your family!
