Caring for New York City’s kids since 1994

At Tribeca Pediatrics, our promise is to provide the highest quality of medical care to all children. We have revolutionized and raised the bar for primary care pediatrics across New York and New Jersey, making convenient care accessible to everyone.

By offering 24/7 guidance and convenient online scheduling through our patient portal, offering same-day and urgent appointment availability, and accepting almost all major insurances and Managed Care Medicaid, we can ensure that you will feel confident in choosing us for your child’s medical home. We will always be here to care for your kids when you need us most.

Our Story
Dr Michel Cohen

From the Founder

Dr. Michel Cohen

“I had a vision of building beautiful offices where kids could feel comfortable, while practicing the essence of medical art: less is more. So in 1994, I opened Tribeca Pediatrics out of my very own home in Lower Manhattan. Working a bit like a country doctor in the big city, I strived to deliver the highest quality of care and developed a medical philosophy. That approach, summarized in the childcare guidebook I would write in 2004, The New Basics, appealed to many new parents. I started to hear requests for more offices in their neighborhoods. I brought more doctors onboard, and we began to grow.

Today, our team is still expanding, so we’re able to serve communities around both New York and New Jersey. Practitioners can focus on providing the best care for their patients while our central administration sees to your needs and ensures your quality of experience.

After almost thirty years of practice, my biggest reward is still visiting offices to meet with new parents and their kids. While we’ve expanded in a big way, we haven’t lost our personal touch, and that’s what makes us different.”
