I love my group at the Women's Health Pavillion in Westbury (372 Post Ave, ###-###-####). http://www.ilovemygyn.com/ They also have offices in Glen Cove, Howard Beach, Forest Hills and Richmond Hill too. I delivered at LIJ. Dr. Andre Saad is really gentle and comforting. His father originally started the practice and has since retired. Dr. Scarantino is really smart and by the book- he did my c-section (I'm only 5 feet tall and I had a big baby) and it healed so well and he was really great during my labor as well- calm and straight-forward. They are both in their late 30's to early 40's. I also saw Dr. Manna a lot because he has late afternoon hours some nights so I could come after work. He is probably about 5 years from retirement and he is like an Italian grandpa- really great. He did my son's circumcision and I was so nervous, but all the nurses at the hospital and my pediatrician all commented that he did a great job. The staff is also really nice and they always remember me when I come in and offer to watch my son while I am in with the doctor. You can get an appointment quickly if you need one too. I originally had a female doctor but when I moved to Long Island, I got a recommendations to go there from my husband's boss, who is a doctor. But now I am used to the male Drs and I am fine with it because they are all so nice. I have been going there for 4 years and since then, my best friend and my sister-in-law have also had their babies with them and they both love the practice too.
