Group Practice Philosophy

For over 65 years, group practice has been the standard at Englender, Sper & Drasnin, MD's, Inc. The ESD Pediatric Group embraces the Group Practice Philosophy for a multitude of reasons. We certainly do honor requests as parents should be able to see the provider of their choice, but the default in our office is to see the group. While many offices ask parents to choose a primary provider, we don't. We feel that we can provide the personalized attention needed with additional advantages. Here are some of the advantages:

• Ease of scheduling With group scheduling, it is much easier to get the date and time that is convenient for you.
• Timely appointments It is much easier to stay "on schedule" as a group than as an individual.
• "Know" your group In a group practice, "on-call" duties are shared. The more doctors you know, the more likely you will have comfort in talking to the physician on call after hours.
• Extra eyes It is human nature to "practice medicine" somewhat differently. All doctors "look" at patients differently. While all of our providers are well trained, seeing different doctors can help us not to "miss" something.
• Best of all doctors By seeing different doctors, you are able to get different ideas and strategies that allow you to choose what suits your family and parenting style best.
• Never a rush Because our physicians don't have a set time with each patient, they can spend the time needed. Have a lot of questions? Your child has a more complicated problem? No problem. We'll take the time necessary.
