Pediatric Pulmonologists who are Physicians - Plainview, NY

"Where do I begin. The dr prescribed my son a rescue in haler then refused to fill out the necessary paperwork for the school nurse b/c she said my son wouldn't need it b/c she also prescribed flovent. Seriously?!!! a rescue inhaler is a rescue inhaler especially for a child that suffers from asthma. Should we really take that gamble? My son was originally on xopenex which is known to cause less jitteriness and tastes a lot better than proair. Again, she dug her heels in and told me to try proair. Like a fool, I went against my mommy radar and obliged, only to realize after I spent money on this medication that I was right. I told her my hesitations about the medicine. She doesn't listen to parents. She is a know it all that doesn't know anything. I called the office for weeks to ask for the xopenex, which was working beautifully, and everyone dodged my calls. Had to get office manager and clients relations involved. I asked for comparable rescue inhaler, not oxycodon."
