AS A PERSON who works in THE front desk I was in shock the whole time I was there. The one receptionist that greeted me had one nasty attitude just because I forgot my Son's ID she made a noise and rolled her eyes my son said she was rude the whole time was very submissive even with other patients the doctor made my son feel very uncomfortable didn't ask for permission never again. Will not be coming here again I came because I saw very good reviews and thought they were nice but I was very wrong. will not be coming here at all when I left the receptionist didn't say anything at all to me Goodnight or night its called manners. Very unprofessional receptionists.

I have been bringing my children to Dr. Rivkin since they were born. My oldest is ten years old now. So it has been 10 years. She always gives us the best advice and calms my concerns. I would recommend her always. God bless her.

We've been looking for a good pediatrician for our kids for a while now since we moved back from Jersey. Our pediatrician in Jersey was just amazing and we've tried 3 pediatricians since then in Queens and haven't been fully satisfied until we recently switched to Dr. T. He didn't seem like he was in a rush and he sat down and spoke to us with his undivided attention. You can tell he is very knowledgeable and great at what he does. We've had one appt so far and were very satisfied. I feel confident that my kids are in good hands. I look forward to our future visits.

My son is Dr. Takhalov's patient for 3 years. Dr. Takhalov is very knowledgeable and experienced pediatrician. He is attentive to his patients, and their parent's concerns. The front desk staff is working very hard. Sometimes they get so busy, so they cannot patiently service a customer, and this is a little turn off. Nonetheless - I am a fan!

Went for an annual physical. That was fine. But then doctor also billed us for a second office visit and multiple services not covered by our insurance and that did not actually take place.

The girls in the front are rude & don't want to be bother when you call them. Had a problem with the doctor office because they said they are not taking my son insurance but insurance company send me letter saying his docotr will be still taking him till Dec 30,2020. The girl with the stank attitude didn't want to give me billing office # All she kept saying dr said we can't ( BS). My son just came from the ER as well. Only reason i haven't changed docotrs cause his primary dr was my substitute at the old office. You can't find good docotrs these days
