Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best pediatrician in Staten Island.Besides that he is a great human being.We take our both kids there for years and we can rate doctor Pelina with 7??Also his staff is great and always helpful.

Dr. Pelina has been my child's doctor since birth and has helped me maintained my child's overall good health. Because of his medical guidance, my child has no school absences. Thank you Doc for taking good care of my child.

Dr. Pelina sees both my daughter and son. As a young mom, I rely heavily on the doctors discretion when my children are sick. I have had the opportunity to have different pediatricians oversee the care of my daughter (eldest child) and no one compares to Dr. Pelina. He is compassionate and truly loves what he does. He is accommodating in each and every way possible. He truly cares for his little patients. I am amazed! Our family has been blessed to have him as our children's doctor. We love him
