We have some exciting news!!!!

Dr. Jennifer Silverstein & family are expecting another baby!!!! And it’s a GIRL!!! Big brothers are super excited and all of us here at Legacy can’t wait!!!

Here’s a picture from their recent family vacation in Ireland where they did a little gender reveal.

But no fear, Dr. Silverstein is still accepting new patients! She has cut back to working 2 days a week instead of 3 days until the baby is born. She will then have time off to snuggle her new bundle of joy from February-May 2026 and after that, she will be back her normal 3 days a week. And of course, the rest of us will be here for all of your healthcare needs!

Happy back to school week!!! 🎒🍎✏️

There's been a lot of talk about the new "Distraction-Free Schools" Law in NYS that will be going into affect this school year. Each school district seems to be handling how they will implement this law with students thru out the day a little differently. The bottom line - cell phones are a distraction and this is based on well established science and studies which have proven the affects may negatively impact attention, memory, and overall academic performance.

The URMC Pediatric Behavioral Health & Wellness Center put out a great resource that parents may find helpful.

🌊Let’s clear the air about an important topic: Dry drowning is not a recognized medical condition! 🚫 While water safety is crucial, the term “dry drowning” can often cause unnecessary panic among parents.

We encourage all parents to stay informed and focus on water safety. Check out this article from for a deeper dive into the topic and how to ensure your child’s safety around water:

🎉Get Ready for a Fun and Safe 4th of July!🎉

As we gear up for fireworks, BBQs, and quality family time, let's make sure we keep safety at the top of our list! Here are some quick tips to ensure a fantastic and safe celebration for everyone - especially little ones!

1 - Firework safety: If you're planning to use fireworks, always keep a safe distance and supervise kids closely. Consider attending public displays instead for a worry-free experience!

2 - Sunscreen is a must: Protect those little faces from harmful rays! Apply sunscreen before heading out and reapply every couple of hours, especially after swimming.

3 - Hydration station: Keep the drinks flowing! Make sure everyone stays hydrated, especially in the summer heat.

4 - Grill with care: Supervise kids around the grill, and make sure they know to keep a safe distance.

5 - Buddy system: Make sure kids know to stick with a buddy while playing, especially in crowded areas. It's all about safety and fun!

Enjoy the fireworks and festivities, and let's make this 4th of July a memorable one for the whole family! Stay safe, everyone! 🥰🎉

And a reminder - our office is closed on the 4th.
