Meet the Founder
Dr. Nilay Donmez is a triple board-certified pediatrician — a distinction held by only a small number of pediatricians nationwide.
Her training spans multiple leading institutions, including Boston Children’s Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, and Children’s National, where she completed her subspecialty fellowship. She has worked within some of the largest pediatric healthcare systems in the country and currently holds faculty appointments at Weill Cornell and NYU, maintaining close collaboration with specialists to provide seamless, unfragmented care.
Through years in large medical systems, Dr. Donmez witnessed a recurring frustration among parents — limited access, rushed visits, and a lack of personalized guidance. She founded First Steps Pediatrics to offer a different model: one centered on time, access, and thoughtful, relationship-based care, particularly during the critical early years of a child’s development.
Her approach is shaped by both American and European training — combining the rigor and precision of U.S. medicine with a more holistic, thoughtful perspective on child development and family care.
“We were looking to find a pediatrician and came across Dr. Donmez and her concierge pediatrics practice in Tribeca, and honestly could not be happier.
From day one, she has been thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely invested in our baby’s wellbeing. As first time parents, that level of care makes all the difference.
What really sets her apart is the access and ability to text after hours. Being able to reach her with questions at any time gives us incredible peace of mind, especially in those early weeks.
Her appointments are also a completely different experience compared to traditional practices. Visits are often over an hour long instead of the typical quick fifteen minute check, and she never rushes.
She explains everything clearly, answers every question, and always makes us feel heard. You can tell she truly cares not only about our baby girl but also the family as a whole 🙏🏼
— Enes L.“Dr. Donmez has been exceptional!
Choosing a concierge pediatrician in Tribeca has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. Dr. Donmez takes the time to truly get to know both us and our baby, creating a level of care that feels personal and thoughtful. As first time parents, having direct access and the ability to reach out (even after hours) been incredibly reassuring.
I grew up with a pediatrician I knew well-someone who made me feel comfortable, cared for, and even happy to go to appointments. That sense of trust and familiarity was something I wanted for my daughter, especially since one of my biggest frustrations with healthcare today is how impersonal and transactional it can feel.”
— Blanca C.“If I could give her a million stars I would! We couldn’t be happier with Dr. Donmez.
She has been absolutely wonderful with our newborn—so gentle, patient, and attentive in every interaction.
She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely sweet and kind, which makes such a difference as new parents navigating everything for the first time.
What really stands out is how responsive she is and how seriously she takes every concern. She truly listens, never rushes you, and makes you feel heard and supported. That level of care and accessibility is exactly why having a concierge pediatrician is so valuable.
We actually commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan just to see her, and it’s 100% worth it. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with our baby’s care.”
— K & R“Where do I even begin? I switched to concierge pediatrician Dr. Nilay Donmez at First Steps Pediatrics in Tribeca after trying another very popular pediatric office in the area. From the moment I met her, I knew we were in great hands. She is caring, knowledgeable, intelligent, and genuinely funny.
Her love for babies (mutual, by the way) is so special to see. I especially appreciate that she offers a concierge pediatrics model and makes home visits when we need them most. She is responsive even on the weekends or evenings. Her office is cute and boutique. She truly is the best pediatrician, and my family trusts her completely. If you’re looking for a concierge pediatrician in Tribeca, join her practice before she stops accepting new patients.”
