Just moved to Boston with two young kids (ages 4 and 7). Would really prefer a Russian-speaking pediatrician β especially for explaining medical history and getting the kids comfortable.
We're in Cambridge/Somerville but willing to drive 30-40 minutes for the right doctor. Any recommendations?

Dr. Irina Segal at Tufts Medical Center speaks Russian and is wonderful with kids. Her office is in the Back Bay. Call early β she's in high demand and new patient slots fill up fast.

There's also a Russian-speaking practice in Newton β if you Google 'Russian pediatrician Newton MA' it should come up. My cousins used them for years and were very happy.
