North Jersey moms and dads choose Progressive Pediatrics for many reasons. They know that their children are in good hands with our highly skilled, experienced, board-certified female pediatricians, Drs. Polack and Teraguchi - who also happen to be parents themselves. Progressive Pediatrics has been serving the North Jersey community since 1999.
Pediatrics fulfills me in ways that no other specialty could. I enjoy being with young people, parents, children and adolescents. Young children bring bright-eyed enthusiasm into any situation, and adolescents are wonderful in their own ways. It's an opportunity for me to connect and make a difference in their lives.
If you are like most parents we see, your child may never have a more thorough physical exam than the one we provide here at Progressive Pediatrics. Measurements (Length/height and weight, head circumference, weight for length, body mass index/BMI and blood pressure). Developmental/Behavioral Assessment (Developmental screening, autism screening, developmental surveillance, psychosocial/behavioral assessment, alcohol and drug use assessments).
Our main focus at Progressive Pediatrics is on preventive care. By helping your baby get off to a healthy start in life, we can also help prevent illness and disease with thorough exams, appropriate immunizations and comprehensive care. We believe that prevention is always the best cure. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that each child should see a pediatrician at regular intervals throughout infancy, childhood and adolescence in order to get a good preventive health start in life.We also know that each child and family is unique.

I would definitely recommend progressive pediatrics to anyone looking for a pediatrician. Dr. polak is very patient, explains necessary information in a clear way and easy to reach incase you have any questions outside of your visit. In the past four years that my son has been a patient, I've only had pleasant experiences at progressive pediatrics.

We are happy with the whole staff and especially with Dr. Madray. She takes her time explaining things and answering any questions we have during or after appointments. She is also very kind with our newborn during check ups and makes our baby and us feel comfortable. We definitely recommend this whole team. Also, the wait time is not long at all!

We are so happy we found Dr Madray! As first time parents, she has helped us feel comfortable and confident in our decision making. She is very knowledgeable and is patient with our sometimes ridiculous questions. Most importantly, she is extremely kind and is very good with our daughter. Everyone at the practice that we have interacted with has been great. Would highly recommend them!

Progressive Pediatrics is the best! I moved away from the area and still drive 45 minutes so my kids could be seen by Dr. Polack. I am so thankful that I found a great Dr for my babies from when they were first born. No matter the issue (usually crazy neurotic momma concerns) that I call about, Dr. Polack or Dr. Teraguchi call me back and put me at ease. They really care about their little patients and it's so comforting as a parent to know that. The staff is all amazing. Also the new office is so nice and there is parking!

I MUST LET IT BE KNOWN THAT DR. NOHA POLACK IS AN AMAZING DOCTOR AND SHE IS HANDSDOWN THE BEST DOCTOR MY CHILDREN EVER HAD. THE FIVE STAR RATING IS BECAUSE OF HER. I wanted to give ONE STAR because of the receptionist.the way in which the receptionist deals with customers is ridiculous. She is very inefficient and has a don't care attitude towards handling urgent matters. She is damaging the company's brand. It was never like this before.

My children have been attending Progressive Pediatrics for 6 year since we moved to this area. The doctors and staff have always been the best but, I recently had a noteworthy experience that deserves extra recognition. As we know this pandemic has had quite an effect on people and sometime we overlook the effect it has had on children. My daughter suffers from anxiety and came to the point where she could not be nasal swabbed anymore.
I had no choice, but pay for out-of-pocket saliva testing kits. Hundreds of dollars. Thank God for Melissa! She has the golden touch! She is able to do the test in a way that made my daughter feel at ease. Melissa was quick and yet relaxed. The whole procedure was complete in under 5 min! In and out! We are so thankful to have found a person that can administer a PCR nasal swab with a gentle hand.
In general Progressive Pediatrics are always accommodating when you need an appointment on short notice. Love their new location-- open 7 days a week! The facility is new and clean and allow for patients to be well spaced apart and ample on-site parking is a HUGE plus. Thank you to the whole team there at the Union City office! Highly recommend them! Dr. Pollack & Teraguchi are excellent as are their associate doctors and PAs!

Dr. Polack is amazing. She's been our pediatrician for two years now and every time we have visited we always feel like she cares. She takes the time to answer any questions ( even the ones that may seem silly or obvious) and just this week immediately sent us to Hackensack children's hospital for a serious infection that she took one look at and knew that we had to go! Can't recommend her enough!
