Our Pediatrician
Dr.
Berlingieri is a board certified pediatrician and a fellow of the
American Academy of Pediatrics.
Affectionately known as “Doctor B” to his patients, our
pediatrician has spent the majority of his adult life caring for
children of all ages. As a business major in college, Dr. B became
a camp counselor for mentally and physically challenged children with
various illnesses, ranging from cerebral palsy to genetic disorders and
psychiatric illnesses. He grew to cherish this part-time work with
the Children’s Aid Society of New York and continued his work for this
agency by participating in their weekend respite programs and annual
Christmas “Toys for Tots” drive.
Dr. B
was employed in the world of banking after graduating college with a
Bachelor of Science degree in finance. However, his passion for
working with children continued to grow and he ultimately left a
successful career to become a pediatrician.
Dr. B
completed medical school, which included training within the World
Health Organization’s medical system. Dr. B received his pediatric
training at the Long Island College Hospital and Beth Israel Medical
Center in New York City. There he had the opportunity to work with
many renowned pediatric sub-specialists, further developing his skills
in pediatric medicine
After
graduating residency, Dr. B returned to the Mid-Hudson region and
worked for a not-for-profit organization, caring for children in
underserved communities. However, as a long-time resident of
Warwick, NY, he longed to return to his hometown and bring with him
the pediatric skills he had acquired.
Dr. B’s
vision was to create a pediatric practice where every child felt
comfortable and to return to a traditional style of medicine — the
complete community doctor. After continued encouragement from
his colleagues, family and friends, Dr. B brought his practice to
Warwick, NY. Known as “Warwick Pediatrics”, one step inside
this new facility shows that Dr. B is himself, a child at
heart.
Dr. B
resides in Warwick, NY, with his wife and three children. He
continues his studies in pediatrics and enjoys serving his community.
When asked what his future plans are, Dr. B responds, “When I grow
up, I want to be a kid!”
