About
At First Steps Pediatrics, Dr. Nilay Donmez delivers concierge pediatric care from a boutique Tribeca office and in patients' homes. Her practice centers on the first 1,000 days of a child's life, a period she treats as foundational to long-term health and development. She keeps the practice intentionally small to give every family direct, responsive access to their pediatrician. Dr. Donmez holds faculty appointments at Weill Cornell and NYU Langone Health, and she maintains hospital affiliations with both institutions. She uses AI-powered remote exam devices so families can receive high-quality assessments from home, while traveling, or on the go. The practice serves families across New York City and from nearby states. Services span newborn care, nutrition and growth guidance, sleep and lactation consultation, chronic condition management, parenting coaching, and prenatal visits. Families with more than one child receive preferred pricing on the $6,000 annual membership.
