Pediatric Sick Visits
When your child is sick, you shouldn't have to wait to be seen by someone you trust.
Pediatric sick visits provide prompt evaluation and treatment when a child is feeling unwell, from colds and ear infections to less obvious symptoms. Dr. Youssef offers same-week sick visits and video visits for families in Forest Hills, NY.

From common colds and ear infections to less obvious concerns, sick visits are about getting your child answers and relief quickly — and giving you a clear plan for what comes next.
Video visits are also available for many sick-visit concerns, so you can get guidance without leaving home when your child isn't up for a trip to the office.
