A proud Haitian-American, Anise Joseph, MD, is a pediatrician offering compassionate care to families and children in New York City. At LaSante Health Center in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens area of Brooklyn, she is passionate about the health and wellness of children of all ages.
Born and raised in Brooklyn and of Haitian immigrant parents, Dr. Joseph speaks Haitian Creole, English, and French. She received her Bachelor of Arts in math and economics from Fordham University at Lincoln Center in New York City before completing her Doctor of Medicine at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University College of Medicine in New York City.

Before joining LaSante Health Center, Dr. Joseph proudly worked in the pediatric emergency department at St. Barnabas Hospital in New York City, where she gained experience in emergency care for children. Dr. Joseph is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
At the LaSante Health Center, Dr. Joseph offers annual checkups, immunizations, guidance in school and sports physical exams, and developmental testing for learning disorders like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Dr. Daniel Shtraykher is a board-certified pediatrician in Brooklyn who specializes in children’s neuro-immune and complex chronic conditions. He began by treating PANDAS/PANS, and his practice has grown to include mold illness (CIRS), chronic Lyme and coinfections, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), POTS/dysautonomia, ADHD, and folate-transport problems in autism (including folinic acid/leucovorin therapy).
Drawing on genetics, immune biology, and environmental medicine, Dr. Shtraykher recognizes that these diagnoses often overlap—shared pathways (inflammation, autoimmunity, mitochondrial stress, connective-tissue traits, and detox genetics) can blur boundaries. Instead of slicing a child into separate labels, he integrates findings and treats the root network: infections and biotoxins, immune dysregulation, mast-cell reactivity, autonomic imbalance, nutrient/folate transport, and the home environment.
His care is evidence-informed and practical: clear history, targeted testing when useful, and therapeutic trials when time or cost matters. Treatments may include antimicrobial strategies, anti-inflammatory and mast-cell stabilization, autonomic support for POTS, binders/detox for CIRS, and folinic acid for children with suspected cerebral folate deficiency—especially those with FRAA/FRAT positivity—often alongside school and behavioral supports.
Dr. Shtraykher accepts Medicaid and most major insurance, making specialized neuro-immune care accessible to families. His goal is simple: see the big picture, address what’s driving a child’s brain-body symptoms, and help kids regain function—whether the trigger is strep, mold, Lyme, MCAS, POTS, ADHD-related vulnerabilities, or folate transport.
Luis Velasquez, MD, Director of Pediatrics at Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center, which has locations in Arverne, Far Rockaway, Brooklyn, and Jamaica, New York. He joined the pediatrics medical care team in 2010.
Dr. Velasquez graduated Cum Laude from the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at the City College of New York, and thereafter, from SUNY Downstate College of Medicine. His post-graduate training includes Preliminary Medicine at Staten Island University Hospital, Anesthesia and Pediatrics at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. He also took courses in Medical Health Administration at Bellevue University.
During his tenure at Addabbo, Dr. Velasquez has served as an EclinicalWorks (EMR) SuperUser, Member and Co-chair of the Addabbo Risk Management Committee, Chairman of the Quality Assurance and Improvement Committee, Acting Chief Medical Officer, and Associate Medical Director. Among his many credentials, Dr. Velasquez holds Certifications in Ambulatory Care Level 1 and 2 Risk Management, Opioid Prescribing Program 1 and 2, Infectious Control, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Neonatal Advanced Life Support (NALS) and Conscious Sedation. Among his many organizational memberships, he is a Diplomat, American Board of Pediatrics, a member of the International Pediatric Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Dr. Velasquez was born and raised in Bushwick, Brooklyn, in a closely-knit but not affluent family. His dad worked in a factory making beach umbrellas, and his mom was a stay-at-home mom so she could be there with him and for his sister. He remembers “growing up not necessarily having everything everyone else did, including access to medical care.” Because of his upbringing, Dr. Velasquez feels a special connection to many of his pediatric patients at Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center.
He enjoys working at Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center because he enjoys helping others and making a difference in the lives of Addabbo children – one child at a time. He enjoys watching his patients grow up, year after year, and become individuals. Combining his love for biology and children, Dr. Velasquez believes that his career as a pediatrician is the very best of both worlds.
He speaks fluent Spanish and English, a “teeny” little bit of Arabic, and in his spare time, enjoys landscape and portrait sketching, watercolor, creative writing, nature, horror/occult and Sci-Fi fiction, multi-cultural music and foods, travel, and sightseeing.
