Washington Heights Pediatrics: What Sets Us Apart

The secret to the success of Washington Heights Pediatrics has and always will be an understanding of that fact that our practice wouldn’t exist without parents bringing their children to us. Protecting them and giving them the care they deserve is what we strive for each day.
Each team member at Washington Heights Pediatrics has been trained in customer service, with special emphasis on sensitivity, courtesy and respect. Our location is in an area of diverse backgrounds, and we strive to learn and understand each patient’s specific needs and satisfy them.
The staff is comprised of bilingual individuals with years of experience as medical assistants, receptionists, secretaries and administrative personnel.

Spotlight on Dr. Yuderqui Checo

We are very fortunate to have Dr. Yuderqui Checo to helm our 149th street location. She studied medicine in the Dominican Republic and worked for 8 years in Santo Domingo at the Centro Comunitario de Jaraboca. After training in pediatrics at the San Juan City Hospital in San Juan, Regional University Ruiz Arnau in Bayamon Puerto Rico and the Pediatrics San Francisco, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, she came to New York.
For six years, Dr. Checo worked at the same pediatric practice, Pediatrics Specialties of Queens, as Dr. Barbery. She also passed all of her qualifying exams in order to validate her medical license in the U.S. and is currently in the process of becoming Board Certified in Pediatrics.
