I thought I’d finally shaken that September anxiety. I think I was 30 when I could actually enjoy the end of August, without that nagging feeling that school was right around the corner. Then my kids started school. And now it’s back!...

Most of the kids in my life call me Dr. Bilello. My three favorites call me mom. I’m Dr. Rachael Green Bilello, pediatrician and mom of three. I’ve been a general pediatrician on Long Island for 10 years. I practice in a private office, MD Kid Care, in Jericho, NY. I have special interests in breastfeeding medicine, nutrition, parenting and adolescent medicine.
