We love Dr Dvorscak !

In honor of Doctors' Day, we’re celebrating the talents our physicians bring beyond medicine.

Meet Dr. Amanda Dvorscak, a dedicated pediatrician with serious strength 💪

Outside of caring for her patients, Dr. Dvorscak brings her background as a former powerlifter into coaching a Special Olympics powerlifting team. What started as a love for the sport has grown into something far more meaningful.

For her, it’s not about medals—it’s about inclusion, confidence, and helping athletes become the best versions of themselves.

Whether she’s guiding patients toward healthier lifestyles or coaching athletes to reach new goals, Dr. Dvorscak is all about building strength—in every sense of the word.

Because great doctors don’t just care for their communities—they help lift them up.

As a psychologist who has worked with families for decades, I am seeing a pattern that is difficult to ignore.

Why has the US used the US-specific vaccine schedule it has for so many years ? Great information here.

We follow the guidance and recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), made up of scientists including doctors, immunologists, infectious disease specialists and epidemiologists. These are the people we trust to keep our own children and our patients safe, and we appreciate your trust in us. We are working very hard, every day, to prevent serious and *preventable* illnesses from coming back to our area - a very real potential consequence of falling below safe vaccination rates as a community. Our recommended vaccine schedule and policies remain the same and follow New York State school requirements.

Statement by AAP President Dr. Andrew Racine on today’s HHS announcement about the childhood immunization schedule:

“Today’s announcement by federal health officials to arbitrarily stop recommending numerous routine childhood immunizations is dangerous and unnecessary. The longstanding, evidence-based approach that has guided the U.S. immunization review and recommendation process remains the best way to keep children healthy and protect against health complications and hospitalizations.

For decades, leading health experts, immunologists, and pediatricians have carefully reviewed new data and evidence as part of the immunization recommendation process, helping to keep newborns, infants, and children protected from diseases they could be exposed to in the United States as they develop and grow. Today’s decision, which was based on a brief review of other countries’ practices, upends this deliberate scientific process.

During this uncertain time, the AAP will continue to publish our own childhood vaccine recommendations.”

The drop in RSV cases in our patients in the last 2 years due to this protection has been truly miraculous. It works. It’s safe. Please protect yourself and your newborn baby !

This season, immunization remains the best way for parents to ensure their child is protected. RSV can be very serious for young babies and is the number one reason infants end up in the hospital before their first birthday.

Dr. Joanna Parga-Belinkie recently took to our Instagram stories to answer parents’ frequently asked questions ahead of RSV season. Check out our Instagram story highlights to learn more!
