Next Generation Pediatrics Office Is Amazing

Posted January 28, 2007 at 12:03 PM

My brother, Dr. Erik Cohen, opened up his own pediatrics office, Next Generation Pediatrics, in Greenwich Connecticut which I recently had the pleasure of going to visit. I had seen pictures of it before and thought it was cool, but man! When you get there and see the full-room murals of the kid's exam rooms, it blows your mind.

Erik has always been an excellent doctor (and utterly amazing with kids), and that skill combined with this state-of-the-art facility... I just don't know what anyone else could ask for in a pediatrics experience. Just check out some shots from his office (which do not do any justice):


 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Waiting Room: Projector games which respond to your child's shadow and a parental business area with internet and phone access.


 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Hippo Exam Room: One of the rooms for younger children to help them feel more comfortable. In addition to being fun, the Hippo Exam Room also has its own ventilation system which helps to contain and eliminate the spread of infection from one child to another.


 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Teenager Exam Room: A room designed to make the older children and teenagers feel as though they have a space of their own. It is equipped with a massage chair with built-in speakers and iPod hook-up as well as a 46 inch flat screen television with playstation and an electric fireplace for ambiance.

Shadow Exam Room: Allows the children to leave images of their shadows on the wall over and over again.


 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Waiting Room: More Projector games.

If anyone is interested in learning more about his office, take a look at his web site http://www.nextgenerationpediatrics.com. Also, the little kids in the picture are my nieces and nephews (and sister-in-law's sister's kid) :)
