what is happening AT STONYBROOK
November 28, 2022
To our patients and their families,
Thank you for your patience and understanding with us, while we navigate a high volume of both physicals and illnesses this season! We truly feel that the team at Stonybrook Pediatrics is exceptional. They are working extremely hard to accommodate all the needs of our patients. Every day, our receptionists, nurses, and providers arrive early and work late to each do their personal best to meet those needs. Despite our best efforts, we do know that there has been an increase in wait times and an unprecedented number of days when our schedules at full capacity. We do know that can certainly cause our patients and their families understandable stress and frustration. Please be assured that we are doing our very best to see and care for as many patients as we can each day, while remaining uncompromised in our commitment to timely, high quality, personal care. We are working diligently to recruit more staff and expand hours to better accommodate our patient population.
We do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you've encountered this season as we navigate these challenges. In return, we kindly ask that you continue to have patience and respect for the staff of your child's medical home.
Thank you for trusting Stony Brook Pediatrics for your family's care! The Stony Brook Pediatrics Team
As we welcome Fall and back to school, we are seeing a high volume of patients with respiratory illness. Our providers would like to share these educational links for parents from the American Academy of Pediatrics. We hope that these might be helpful. We also want to take this time to remind parents that we have our on-call service available when the office is closed. This will help parents reach either a Registered Pediatric Nurse, Nurse Practitioner or Physician. They will return a call and give you advice. We thank you for your continued patience with the practice for appointment availability. We are working hard to accommodate our patients while having staff shortages. Thank you for trusting us with your child's care.

WELCOME
Welcome to Stony Brook Pediatrics! For over 30 years we have been focused on providing the best care for children of all ages. At Stony Brook, we believe in the concept of the “Medical Home.” It is not a physical location, but a concept. The American Academy of Pediatrics describes the Medical Home as a model of delivering primary care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective.
Our Practice is comprised of three Pediatricians, six Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, and one Physician Assistant. With two locations, one in Dansville and another in Geneseo, we specialize in child care from birth through the end of college. Electronic Medical Records make it easy for our patients to receive the same excellent care at either office. Our support staff includes several nurses, billing, and front office staff.
We consider each other and our patients as family, and this is evident as soon as you walk through our doors. We are proud of our long history of exceptional service to the families of Livingston county and surrounding areas. Our website is designed as a tool to help answer and educate on important child healthcare topics. The parent resource section is dedicated to providing information to parents on a wide range of topics. New mothers can read the expecting page for helpful insight on what is required prior to birth.
We look forward to meeting you and your family. Whether you choose our Geneseo Office or our other location in Dansville you can be sure that you and your children will receive the best healthcare available.
