Pediatrics At Newton Wellesley

I’ve been going here for a year only with my baby and I really really like it. All the office staff is very friendly and helpful. The front desk people (there are a few of them there) always interact with my baby, entertain him and make us feel at ease there. Dr. Pronchick and the NP Genevra are the kindest, sweetest, helpful and knowledgeable medical practitioners you would ever want for your baby. They are non-​judgmental and really seem to care about what’s best for me and my baby. I’ve called with various questions and issues this past year, first year of my baby’s life and everyone I spoke to was extremely helpful and I got calls back from the nurses very quickly. I’m so glad that I chose this practice for my baby. That was a good mama-​instinct. I’m very thankful to all everyone at the practice for helping me through this tough first year of motherhood.

I am so grateful to Drs. Susan Reuter, Quian Youn, and Michael Elkort of Pediatrics at Newton Wellesley! My nearly 11 year old boy/​girl twins have been patients there for the past 10 years, and the past week showed me why we love this practice so much! My son suddenly came down with Mono, and at his initial visit, Dr. Elkort put a smile on Aidan’s face by talking cars with him and joking around with him. Dr. Reuter tracked his progress very closely over the (holiday) week, even calling me numerous times to see how he was doing. When his fever spiked, she immediately called in the necessary antibiotics. And when his tonsil grew to an unbelievable size and cause his pain, Dr. Youn (the doctor on call over Thanksgiving), got right back to me and did not hesitate to give him a 3-​day dose of steroids. This close observance and investment in his health has made all the difference to me as a parent, and his pain and overall discomfort have subsided significantly since following their sage medical advice. The peace of mind that comes with a pediatric practice you can trust is truly priceless. Thank you for keeping my kids healthy and safe!

I have been seeing Doctor John Cohen for my entire life. My parents told me that when they were expecting me, they went in to this office for a consultation with Doctor Cohen. They were nothing short of amazed. They told me how Doctor Cohen was very welcoming and how the atmosphere really reflected a quality experience in the office. Doctor Cohen advised my mom with nothing but the best advice possible during her pregnancy. He was very welcoming and took his own personal time to return all her phone calls and get back to her with the information that she needed. In today’s world, that is hard to come by; especially for a doctor.
When I was born, I was told that he arrived at the hospital immediately to check me out, and examine me. As I grew and matured throughout they years, I went to Doctor Cohen every year for a very comprhensive physical consisting of proper growth and weight analysis, immunizations, blood tests, and booster shots.
In my teens I developed a great relationship with Doctor Cohen. He became not only a doctor to me, but a great mentor, advisor, and friend. He always knew what I was doing, made me update him on my new accomplishments, and took the time after my appointments to chat with me about anything that I wanted to. He was so open, and provided valuable knowledge and guidance to me during this time. He truly does know his patients, and does not rely on notes for his memory, he is that good.
I’m going to be 23 next month, and I am in graduate school. I love Doctor Cohen so much that he is STILL my primary care physician. I look forward to going to see Doctor Cohen every year and to talk to him every year about my life. He truly is one in a million doctors out there. If you have him, you are very lucky to have him your life. Now that I am probably going to the last appointment of life with him tomorrow, I will never loose touch with Doctor Cohen. I plan on dropping by his office, and talking to him in whatever ways I can. I don’t want to loose such a great person in my life that helped me become who I am today. Thank you so much to the staff and doctors at Newton-​Wellesley Pediatrics. They will provide you with an outstanding newborn, childhood, teen, and young adult care for your children.
