About Us
Our goal is to provide you with the latest health care options available, within a state-of-the-art facility and a most professionally warm and caring staff, simply to ensure the health and well-being of all the children we are fortunate enough to care for.
All after-hours calls will be directly connected through “Professionally Speaking” to the on-call doctor. Dr. Cohen will personally answer on-call inquiries from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
From 10 pm to 7 am, all calls will be answered by a night nurse for on-call inquiries. You will always be able to speak with a Healthcare Professional, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
When Dr. Matt is on vacation or not in the office, Dr. Rachael Libertin will be available at all times.
On a personal note, I would like to thank all of my current and former patients for their unwavering support.
We are all so excited to be able to provide you with the best pediatric care available.

Hi, I’m Nikki.
I’ve been part of Dr. Matt’s team since 2019. I started as a receptionist and over the years worked my way up to my current role as Billing Manager. I truly enjoy what I do and take pride in helping our patients with all their billing needs.
Since joining the team, I’ve also grown in my personal life. I’m now a proud mom of two, with baby number three on the way. Balancing work and family has been a rewarding journey, and I’m so thankful to be part of such a supportive environment.
I look forward to continuing to serve our patients for many years to come. If you ever have any questions about billing, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to help!
