Dr. Arnold Chusid, MD

Dr. Chusid has been my trusted pediatrician for over 20 years, providing exceptional care for both my children from infancy to adulthood. His direct and insightful approach effectively navigates through common childhood illnesses, accurately diagnosing and guiding treatment plans. His ability to discern genuine concerns from non-critical issues ensures efficient and appropriate action. We are incredibly grateful for Dr. Chusid's expertise and dedication, and hope he continues to guide our children's health journey for many years to come..

Went to Dr. Arnie Chusid for two children for a number of years. We appreciated his directness, crabbiness and off-color humor. Problem occurred when we took a child in due to consistent trouble breathing while running - not severe but concerning. The good Dr. took us into his office and called in his head RN. He started throwing articles at us regarding parents who are living vicariously through their children with respect to sports. He said let's check his breathing - come with me. As we all walked into exam room, he scolded us for bringing a healthy child into office during flu season. He took my child's arm a ran it up and down the doorway and said 'You want the flu? Here you go' Stunned, we started leaving the office. On the way out I looked at his RN who had tears in her eyes and she said 'I am so sorry'. I have always regretted not formally reporting him to authorities. Amazing to me he is still practicing. Hope no one was hurt by him.

He is never wrong with a diagnosis, and will treat your condition. You definitely will get better if you see him. However, he does not handle emotional concerned mothers well. He has been known to use foul language and tell it like it is. If you disagree with him, it will turn into an argument instead of having a professional conversation.

you will not find a better doctor...he is my go to for all my health concerns ...i trust him with my childrens life as well as my own...if you want sugar coating or lies go somewhere else ...if you want the best help you can get then he is your doctor....26 yrs later i still cherish his insight

Referred by my Obgyn 24 years ago and I never turned back... An amazing doctor.. Rough bedside manner but amazing diagnostic doctor.. He's definitely not for the week.. Must have a strong personality to work with him and you will totally appreciate him.. I've trusted him with my 3 children ever since...

As a mom and registered nurse, could not say enough wonderful things about Arnie, Christine the RN and the entire staff. This office is a well-oiled machine!!!

Tells it straight. Not for hypochondriacs or helicopter moms. And a consummate professional. Staff terrific. Signs scattered throughout office are hilarious and full of advice many parents will NOT want to read.

Excellent, practical, realistic, pays full attention, not rushed, refers to actual books and historical evidence instead of just 'googling'! The office staff is wonderful - helpful, patient, courteous. Wouldn't take my kids anywhere else.

I only have one child, but was referred to see Dr. Chusid by friends and family. He is a very smart man, witty, and caring - the most important quality. There are doctors in practice who are handling children with the "$" as their halo. Dr. Chusid operates with charisma, and confidence. He has told me straight out that my child, now 3, has asthma, and I was in denial. He really said something to wake me up from my ignorance. Now I know he is not about the dough. His wisdom is priceless.

Dr. Chusid has one of the best run offices around. You can always get an appointment when you need and a call back promptly and timely. You also don't wait 5 hours when you get to the office - what a concept! He's the best and has a hilarious personality.

after being with the same peds for 17 years for my kids i needed a fresh outlook HE IS BEYOND AMAZING.. i was in his office 1/2 hour he had my son ready for all sorts of testing which is exactly what he needed.. His office is filled with the funniest signs i have ever seen.. telling you like it is.. down to earth the best way possible.. Best decision i have made for my kids is to switch to Dr. Chusid.

Best doctor for my baby. He is also very funny.

Dr Chusid hands down best Pediatrician in Nassau County. He clearly knows when a child is sick and will visit your children everyday they ae hospitalized. I can not say enough goods things about Dr Chusid.
