I'll start by saying this review is ONLY for Dr. Pete Contini and I would only recommend Dr. Pete from Almaden Pediatrics. I'll write a separate review reserved specifically for Dr. Michelle at a later time after we leave the practice. This is coming from a mom who's kids have seen Dr. Pete since 2012, so 13 years. They are now young adults so we have a long history in this practice and Dr. Pete has been outstanding in the care of my children, from minor issues to very big issues both with their physical and mental health. He is responsive and attentive, his bedside manner is excellent and his diagnosis and care plans have always proven correct and effective. Best of all, my kids always felt safe and comfortable in his care, as he is warm and engages with them honestly. We've never had a negative experience with the front desk staff or billing department. Though my kids are aging-out as they go onto the next chapters in their lives, we will be forever grateful that we had Dr. Pete as their primary care pediatrician. He set a high standard for us! read more

Had a decent visit here. The staff handled the paperwork fast and were friendly which helped with the wait. The doctor was focused and asked a lot of questions before giving any advice. They looked over my records closely and talked me through what they noticed. Felt like they were trying to get the full picture and not just treat one thing. The room was tidy and things felt in order. I left with a better idea of what I needed to do next and I didn't feel like just another patient. read more

I dropped both my sons paperwork as new patients back in September. They took copies my insurance cards for both kids. They asked if my older son need it any vaccinations for school. I said no, so they told me that they had everything that they needed and that they will call me. No one call me back. I called a few times to try to schedule an appointment, but the phone if its not busy. No one is there to answer. I left a voicemail and no one got called me back. I was finally able to talk to someone today and she told me that my kids files were not created so I couldn't schedule an appointment until I complete the paperwork again. yeah no thank you. I will look somewhere else for a more professional office. read more

I am rather disappointed with the lack of explanation the Nurse Practitioner provided. I had to pry for answers and questions. I truly felt like just a paycheck to her. There's a reason why parents come to physicians offices, we aren't experts. I wasn't even told if my baby were to get a high fever I should take her to the ER. I wasn't told to alternate between Tylenol and ibuprofen to control a fever. I was just told: baby is fine, here's a free sample of formula... uhmm ok? I don't need a sample of formula. The lack of communication, and respect for children and parents who know nothing is so so so Disappointing. The only reason why I know a little more is because I work in pharmacy. I was given the incorrect dose for ibuprofen as well based on weight. I had to call the office again to get proper dosing. Just disgusting they nurse practitioner would look at my baby as a pay check. read more

I have been wanting to share my exceptional experience with the nurse practitioner at this practice since we started here over a year ago. From the moment I stepped in, I felt a genuine commitment to patient care. Jennifers ( the nurse practitioner) expertise is evident in her thorough examination and thoughtful explanations, ensuring I always feel informed and comfortable throughout. The level of compassion and personalized attention always surpasses my expectations. I will never bring my kids anywhere else! read more

As a first time mom, I wouldn't recommend Dr. M Contini based on my experience. During my first pediatric appointment a few days after I gave birth I was told that my baby had lost significant weight and that she had to have formula for her to have her bilirubin test done. There was no mention of other options, as sickly as I was feeling from my recent delivery I listened and did as counseled so afraid my baby was in danger. There was no mention of lactation consultant, bottle pace feeding, types of formula or what my preference was. My milk came in a few days later but at that point we were combo feeding and eventually baby only wanted a bottle and my nursing experience was cut short. My advice to a new mom who goes through this is to call a lactation consultant asap if possible before birth and continue until breastfeeding is established if that's what you can and choose to do for your baby. I don't believe this doctor is an advocate of breastfeeding. We also didn't get good guidance as new parents. The only thing we would take from the visit would be the measurements of baby that had to be measured a couple times as they would get it wrong and would end up feeling lost and in need to google. If your feeling as a mom is that your pediatrician is not a good match change your pediatrician right away you can use all the help you need and a pediatrician can be a big component of this hard but gratifying journey. Good luck and hopefully you don't go through what I went through. read more

Dr. Pete and Nurse Jennifer are amazing and I am so glad I found them!!! During the last few months of my pregnancy in 2021, I researched pediatricians and asked for recommendations in Morgan Hill. Almaden Pediatrics came in highly regarded amongst the various Morgan Hill moms circles so I chose Dr. Pete as my daughters pediatrician. My daughter has been seeing Dr. Pete since day two in the hospital (Dr. Michelle did the initial visit on day one and she was great too!). He is courteous, super patient and is a miracle worker with babies. We have seen him almost a dozen times since April 2021. From routine wellness visits to the many visits in between because of daycare illnesses; Dr. Pete has been by our side and made us feel at ease when we are feeling at our worst. We have also seen Nurse Jennifer a few times. She is a highly skilled and knowledgeable Nurse Practioner and has also been instrumental in my daughters well being. I feel at ease seeing either of them and am so thankful they have an office in Morgan Hill. read more

If your in search of a pediatrician for your child I would do yourself a favor and KEEP LOOKING. Unfortunately my son sees Michelle Contini and she is incredibly rude. Every time we come she is always annoyed and in a complete rush. I have witnessed her rolling her eyes when I ask questions regarding my children's treatment. Luckily my son was seen by her Nurse Practitioner and she noticed he had extremely large tonsils. She referred us to an ENT and the specialist confirmed his tonsils should have been removed a year ago. She couldn't understand why this was his first visit to an ENT. There have been several occasions that she has brushed off concerns that both my husband and I have had. But our concerns were shut down because apparently she has raised 4 boys. And at every visit she somehow continues us. Either way Michelle it's time for you to retire you have lost respect for your patients and your bedside manner is sadly nowhere to be found. We all have bad days but it has been every visit with you. I'm sure you will roll your eyes and shrug your shoulders to hear that my children will no longer be using you as their pediatrician read more

I'm so glad we found Dr. Pete at Almaden Pediatrics. We can see him in Morgan hill or San Jose and usually within a day or so. Our special needs kiddo has frequent visits and he's really caring and thorough. She's nonverbal and the office has great diagnostics on hand, like rapid strep test, flu tests, covid, urine collection, etc., tools that help diagnosis the little ones quickly. They've done a great job limiting the office traffic during covid and the wait is never long. We appreciate the care they give both of our kiddos. read more

I recently started coming here with my newborn and I absolutely love it! I couldn't find a pediatrician in gilroy that I liked and decided to try Almaden pediatrics. The building is newer and the office is clean. The whole staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Special shout out to Jennifer Mclane who is amazing! She is great with my baby, answers all my questions, really pays attention to our needs without making us feel rushed and isn't judgmental with the methods we chose on how to raise our baby. read more

We've had all 3 kids with Dr. Pete for years, and we're so glad we can be seen in Morgan Hill now, instead of making the trek to San Jose (although we'd do it in a heartbeat). Dr. Pete is a great listener, very knowledge and has never done us wrong. Love him! read more

Yay! I'm so happy Dr. Pete is finally seeing patients in Morgan Hill now. He is in the office Tuesday Mornings and Wednesday afternoons at this location. This is a shared office with Camino ENT so it's not all kid friendly decorated like the main office on Almaden. I know how cute the main office is decorated so that dosent mater to me. He is seriously the best pediatrician! No complaints whatsoever! My kids have been seeing him for the past 4years and we would even pay cash when we had no insurance just to see him. I have 4 kids and that is the longest I've kept the same doctor. read more

My children were patients for years. Daughter needs a required vaccination form filled out for college...a requirement. Very simple, dates for 4 or 5 vaccinations and a signature. REFUSED to complete and sign due to her age and not seen in last 12 months even though they administered the vaccinations and have the records. Talk about a lack of customer service. All the money they've made off me and my insurance company over the years and won't even take 5 mins. for the form. Obviously no commitment to long time clients. read more
