Flatiron Pediatrics

Dr. Riese has been my daughter’s doctor since birth. We are still patients, even though we moved out of the city 5 years ago. She is wonderful, Erin is wonderful, the staff is wonderful and I could not imagine going to another pediatrician.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for almost a year now! But better late than never. I absolutely love and terribly miss Flatiron Pediatrics.
We now live in Chicago and go to one of the largest practices in the city. My son has never seen the same Doctor twice and I don’t even know their names. What is so rare about Flatiron Pediatrics is how personal it is! For being in a large city you would think it would be mobbed with people but it’s the opposite! I never had trouble getting a last minute appointment, and never had to wait to go back to a room. You get wonderful 1 on 1 care there and the staff knew my son by 1^st name when I would call (which wasn’t too often even). Since my son was born we moved states 5 different times– therefore we have seen many different practices and Flatiron Pediatrics is by far the best experience yet.
Erin the nurse practitioner is who we usually saw and she was wonderful! Very gentle and patient. There were a couple issues I was concerned about with my son once from being sick and once with gross motor skills development and she definitely aired on the side of caution which I appreciated. Better safe than sorry and I felt comforted knowing my concerns were taken seriously and not brushed off as «oh it’s nothing, he’s fine.» So they do a great job being thorough.
The ONLY negative comment I have is that the doctor (I cannot remember her name but she was also great) said it doesn’t matter how high my 10 month olds fever reached as long as it wasn’t prolonged. Which as a 1^st time mother I didn’t question her medical opinion Bc she knows better than me, but in retrospect, now having seen my son with a 105 temperature I think I would feel more comfortable had I been told to bring him in. But that’s literally it! My experience with her was a wonderful one and is was with the rest of the staff. I highly highly
Recommend this practice to anyone looking for a small intimate feeling practice where your child is not just 1 of thousands!

Finding the right pediatrician for your newborn or child is so important. Look no further because Flatiron Pediatrics is the one for you. Located in the heart of the Flatiron District, Dr. Victoria Riese and her impeccable staff make each and every visit a pleasurable one.
The office is beautiful, meticulous, modern, bright and inviting to all who come in. My son LOVES the salt water tank and the fish swimming in it. He just can’t get enough. At the front desk, you’ll be greeted by Catherine who is warm, kind and extremely helpful. I walked in when the office first opened and had so many questions, and she answered all of them. I felt so welcomed, and knew it was a good fit just from interacting with her.
Dr. Riese is a joy to visit. She even makes us feel better when we see her. Her caring, happy and warm ways make it easy to like her. She is always going above and beyond for her patients. I feel like I can ask her anything, and she has such a great take on all my needs as a new mother. I also really love her approach with my son and his health. I often stop by to visit and take them treats.
Erin, the PA, is Dr. Riese cloned. She works closely with the Doctor and will even consult the doctor before giving me answers. I am always confidant and happy when we visit Erin too. She is wonderful!
The nurses are also fantastic. When we come for a check up or a sick visit we always interact with the nurses. In my opinion, they are equally as important. Sometimes, they have the hardest job… the shots! Even the way they approach my son is effective. My little guy loves Marcey so much! She is incredibly attentive and has a special touch when she gives the shots, takes blood or weighs him.
I would highly recommend coming to Flatiron Pediatrics. Even if you do not live in the Flatiron area, it’s worth the trip. Centrally located with severally trains nearby, I promise you will be so happy. Don’t worry about switching from your current pediatrician either, I did it and it was the best move I made.

Great experience so far! Everyone there is knowledgable, professional and nice. They keep to their appointments; never had to wait after the appointment has been made. The facility is clean and spacious.

I had a fabulous experience here. The staff is very knowledgable and helpful; I felt very comfortable. Katherine at the front desk is so helpful. Erin, the NP, is so sweet and thorough. She took such great care of my baby! I would recommend this practice to anyone!

We had a wonderful experience at Flatiron Pediatrics for my toddler and infant children. Would highly recommend them.
They are VERY accommodating, have a lovely office and their staff was very pleasant and professional (my son LOVED their fish tank in the lobby). If you are looking for a pediatrician, would definitely suggest checking them out.
