Meet Your Pediatrician

A Doctor Astoria Families Know by Name 🩺

Dr. Mario Peichev has cared for children and young adults in Astoria and across Queens for years — from newborn checkups to teen physicals. As both a pediatrician and a pediatric hematologist, he brings specialist-level depth to everyday care: the same doctor who gives your child their flu shot can also evaluate anemia, easy bruising, or other blood concerns without sending you across the city.

As a family-run practice, we never rush visits. Appointments get the time they need, parents get their questions answered, and your child sees a familiar face every time.
