New parents are encouraged to schedule a prenatal visit to meet the doctor and tour our office. At this visit we will spend one-on-one time with you to answer any questions you may have as well as share vital information. Parental visits can be scheduled around your time and with no charge to you or your insurance. You also are not obligated to use Lake Grove Pediatrics if you are not 100% comfortable.
Please Note: If you would like Dr. Goldberg at Lake Grove Pediatrics to be your baby’s doctor, simply tell the hospital staff when you arrive at the hospital. The hospital will notify our office when your baby is born. Dr. Goldberg, will be in to see you and your baby very soon after.
