The network of regional CWPW pediatric offices continues to grow with the addition of Washingtonville Pediatrics, P.C. to the group. Washingtonville Pediatrics, with five full-time and one part-time pediatrician, has joined the CWPW family. Leonard Newman, MD, President of CWPW, made the announcement.
The practice, located in its new building at 10 Weathervane Drive in Washingtonville, NY, focuses almost exclusively on general pediatric medicine, and offers additional expertise in behavioral, developmental and nutritional medicine. Barbara Gannon, MD, who after 20 years has been with the practice the longest, states that Michael H. Gewitz, MD, of CWPW, visited the practice not long ago “and he was impressed by what he saw at our office.”
“Joining CWPW seemed logical the way the medical system is changing,” Dr. Gannon explains. “It's important to be in a bigger group, and they have been our peers for so many years, it just made sense. They're very professional, dedicated and honest; we just felt confident joining CWPW. The whole process was seamless.”
Practicing under the CWPW umbrella will allow Washingtonville Pediatrics to accept a larger number of insurance plans, Dr. Gannon explains, “and that's good for the parents in our community.” And, she adds, CWPW offers “the highest level of subspecialty care” for children.
Washingtonville Pediatrics built a brand new office from the ground up five years ago, which “is completely child- friendly,” Dr. Gannon explains.
Suzanne Kaseta, MD, points out that in joining CWPW, Washingtonville Pediatrics “will be part of a large medical practice that really cares about pediatrics; it's led by pediatricians, and it's really a group of well-trained pediatricians and subspecialists working together for the children of Orange County and the Lower Hudson Valley and Connecticut.” At Washingtonville Pediatrics, the physicians complement their general pediatric care with special attention paid to asthma, allergies, gastrointestinal illnesses and developmental disorders.
The office environment at Washingtonville Pediatrics is unique in its structure and design and in the way it caters specifically to children and their families. Created for children, and loved by parents, “it's absolutely beautiful,” Dr. Kaseta explains, “with bright colors throughout, and painted wall murals.” Patients are treated to everything from Apple TVs and interactive games, to a large tropical fish tank and other amenities to enliven the setting. “Children ask if they can have their birthday parties here,” she adds. “That's really nice.”
Joining Drs. Gannon and Kaseta at Washingtonville Pediatrics, PC are: Patricia Mangan, MD; Martina Bezdickova, MD; Barbara Beyer, MD; and Maureen Bowman, MD.
