Get to know Pediatrician Dr. Tulika Narain, who serves patients in Patchogue, New York.

A trusted pediatrician, Dr. Narain is the President of SV Pediatrics in Patchogue, New York. She and her team are dedicated to bringing the best and latest healthcare to children and their families, all the while creating a caring environment where all concerns are addressed. 

“I have been a pediatrician for over 15 years and it has been a lot of fun. Being a huge football fan, I tend to think of life in sports terms. I have a simple philosophy, medicine is a team sport. I truly believe that, when parents and doctors work together and communicate well, it results in the best care for the patient. Parents know their children better than anyone else and I really respect their input and honesty. I try to give that honesty and sincerity back to them” as stated by the doctor. 

Even though there is nothing more important to Dr. Narain than the health of her patients, she loves to have fun. She does goofy things all the time, because she believes that laughter is the best medicine. She dresses up for any and every holiday, and loves to tease and joke around with the children. The greatest reward she gets is when a child, who was very nervous, smiles through the visit. She loves that the most.

“My children (I have two) have shown me how tough being a parent can be. Thank goodness it is very rewarding!! I find it very helpful to pass along my wisdom and understanding to my families. I have learned quite a bit between raising my children and travelling. I love to travel and most weekends, if I am off, we spend travelling around the area, exploring the world. My children are my greatest joy and I understand that most parents feel that way. That is why it is such an honor to have the trust of the parents” expressed Dr. Narain.

A 1996 graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, she went on to perform her residency in pediatrics at Stony Brook University Hospital. 

A Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, she is board-certified in pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP). The mission of the ABP is to advance child health by certifying pediatricians who meet standards of excellence and are committed to continuous learning and improvement.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends individuals be under pediatric care up to the age of 21. Pediatricians provide medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. They are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses through all of their developmental stages, as they grow and mature.

As a testament to her success, Dr. Narain has been the recipient of Patients’ Choice Award (2011, 2010, 2009, 2008) and Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2013, 2011).

On a more personal note, she speaks English and Hindi.
