Dr. Robin Schiff attended the University of Pennsylvania where she was elected into Phi Beta Kappa Society. Dr. Schiff graduated from NYU Medical School and completed her pediatric residency at Mt. Sinai Medical Center. As a board-certified pediatrician, she has been practicing in Riverdale for more than 20 years. Our patients come from all over the Bronx, NYC, Westchester, Rockland County and beyond. We are honored to have several second-generation families in our practice.
We aim to provide exceptional medical care while serving the needs of the entire family. We educate parents to help them keep their children healthy. We love the fact that patients tend to stay with us from birth to age 21, and recognize that as children get older their needs change.
Our office staff is friendly and accommodating and is happy to help you navigate through referrals, prior authorizations and forms. We also offer same-day appointments for sick children.

A Patient-Centered Medical Home is not a building, place or hospital. Rather, it is an approach to providing comprehensive healthcare. As your PCMH, we want to be the first place you think of for all of your child’s medical needs. We believe that the partnership between the patient, the patient’s family, and his/her primary care provider and care team is important. The care team, led by your primary care provider, is committed to providing the best healthcare services possible. Your child’s care team will work with you and any outside providers or facilities to coordinate care across all settings, including behavioral health. The team will offer appropriate medical advice, information, and self-management support based on current recommendations and evidence-based guidelines.

We see you, the parent, as an important member of your child’s health care team. As your child matures, we hope he or she will become an increasingly active team member. Preparing your child to take the lead in caring for his or her own health is, ultimately, our team’s most important task.
