The best start for your child—care designed for their highest potential

Have your pediatrician by your side—whether in our calm, unhurried Tribeca office or in the comfort of your home.

Our Story

After working in some of the nation’s leading healthcare systems, Dr. Donmez recognized what was missing in modern pediatrics: time, access, and a true connection with families.

Parents valued her calm, unhurried, and nonjudgmental approach—care that felt supportive and accessible rather than rushed or clinical.

First Steps Pediatrics was created to offer a more personal, thoughtful experience for families who want more from their pediatric care.

First Steps Pediatrics

  • Our son has severe asthma and she has helped guide our family through the most challenging experiences and helped us to find the right specialists to get his asthma under control. She is a great listener and helps find solutions that work for your family structure. She is so wonderful with kids of all ages. Dr. Donmez is one of a kind!!!!

  • Dr. Donmez has been our pediatrician for several years, caring for both of our children. She’s incredibly thorough, warm, and has a great sense of humor that always puts the kids at ease. We feel very lucky to have her.

  • My family adores Dr. Donmez. We met her when our preemie son was just a few days old and she has provided nothing but exceptional care since then. She's attentive and thorough - I've never felt rushed through an appointment - and I always leave with a clear understanding of what we've discussed. The genuine affection she has for our son is more than I could have hoped for (and the feeling is mutual!) My family feels so lucky to have found her. I cannot recommend her more highly!

    —Becky Heller

  • Where do I even start! Dr. Donmez really has been a god sent for our family. When our son was sick and hospitalized she not only checked in on us everyday but stayed in constant contact advocating with the hospital for our son. This level of care is something our family will forever be grateful for.
