Our residents
Training tomorrow's pediatricians
All of our full-time physicians are faculty at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and our practice is a national model for integrating pediatric education into private practice.
Our pediatric resident physicians, graduates of top medical schools, see patients alongside us every Wednesday and Thursday. They bring the latest evidence-based guidelines and research into the office and keep us sharp.
Many of us started out here as students ourselves, so it's a privilege to share the Uptown Pediatrics way with a new generation of awesome doctors.
Our pediatric residents for 2026–2027
- Dr. Luciana Gizzo, DO
- Dr. Tiffany Cao, MD
- Dr. Rohan Hublikar, MD
- Dr. Daniela Kotsonis, MD
