WELCOME TO OUR PRACTICE!
This practice represents the culmination of twenty two years experience, both in training and in the practice of Pediatrics. Previous to starting Berlin Pediatric Associates, I practiced in a small upstate New York town called Pittsford. It was a very successful and rewarding experience, and provided me with insights on how to provide appropiate care and fulfilling peoples' expectations. This practice emphasizes continuity in the care of children. When you come in for the well child exam, as well as the sick visit, you will see the physician. We will work in partnership to attain the maximum potential of every child on all levels (physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually). Your input is valued and desired. The physician's knowledge is at your service to aid in your questions and concerns. You should not feel afraid to ask any question, for it is not the responsibility of the parent to appear informed. This is the physician's responsibility. Matteo J.
