Malverne Pediatrics: Coley Karen E DO

I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. I should have left her years ago. Furthermore, I know that she has lost quite a few patients in the past due to her bad attitude. I only stayed because I know that she is knowledgable. But you know, she is not the only knowledgeable doctor in New York! She refuses to acknowledge that she is rude to her patients, or just doesn't realize that she is rude and can be very obnoxious, which is worse! Instead she tries to turn everything around on you, which is just wrong. She has a way of making patients feel foolish and a way of insulting the parents. Dr. Picirillo is knowledgeable and thorough, but her bedside manner is terrible. She is abrupt and rude. When she doesn't agree with your concerns, she tends to belittle you and dismisses parental concerns instead of giving advise and talking to you in a respectful manner. She is also abrupt and impatient with her patients. My children dislike her, as they are scared of her.
