I know people don't often review medical practitioners on Yelp but, heck, I think they should!…read more I had my first baby just recently, and being relatively new to the area, I was really shooting in the dark when it came to selecting a Pediatrician. I attended Sutter's "Meet the Pediatricians" event and Dr. Zembal was presenting. My husband and I instantly liked him. He has, in our opinions, an approach that is a perfect blend of taking parents' concerns seriously, while also keeping you from worrying needlessly. This is such an art- especially when it comes to new parents who are in very unfamiliar territory- not knowing when to be concerned or not. Unfortunately for many doctors, it almost doesn't matter how good they are if they have a front office or nursing staff who are rude or not helpful. Certainly not the case here! The staff and nurses at Dr. Zembal's office are all wonderful, friendly, professional and helpful- which was such a relief! They are going to be moving their office a little further away (for me, anyway) soon but I can honestly say that it doesn't matter. I would drive to Petaluma if that's where they moved to!

Dr. Bohn is an incredibly talented pediatrician. She is kind, honest, patient, and hardworking. She…read morenever has an ego and she really listens to questions and concerns. About a year ago, I was just about to leave her room, as our appointment was wrapping up. Suddenly something came to her, and she stopped us from leaving. She suspected that maybe my daughter was not getting enough iron and wanted her tested. The iron levels were low, and we started supplementation immediately. She had a bit of a sixth sense! Some would say she is just very smart, which is true, but she also has learned to be a bit intuitive. When children are so young and can't fully communicate, it is important that their pediatrician work for them as their advocate. She is in tune with my daughter and I trust her advice and opinions. She is not that typical pediatrician who just tells you to relax, and that your child is growing great. She is the kind that will push back and advocate for your child if you have questions and concerns. I think that makes for better parenting, and that is why I highly recommend Dr. Bohn.

I saw Dr. Miraglia in a practice with several other amazing Dr's as a child. My mom was a labor &…read moredelivery nurse so she knew all the best pediatricians. I never had a bad experience, I mean no kid likes having to get a shot but we talked about it first so I could understand why he had to do something that slightly hurt (great injection technique). This Dr was one of several that were there for you when you needed them. I think Dr. Miraglia gave me stitches after an accident, my mom didn't want me to have a bad scar & knew that he was the best doctor plus he was willing to stay at the ER later to suture me up. I wish I hadn't had to move when I did cause I have never liked any Dr more than my original pediatricians! I always hoped that I could return to the area so any children I had would see Dr's I already knew & felt comfortable with. I liked that the office was full of experienced Dr's that truly cared. I know my late mother would be able to write an even better review as a nurse/mom but since she can't I'll just say that she would be giving him an epic 5 star review.

Wow! That review made me so mad I had to write one. Dr. Frank Miraglia was my pediatrician for…read moreNINETEEN YEARS. 19 years. He almost snipped me as a newborn when everyone thought I was going to be a boy! I came out a girl. He has been the most amazing doctor I've ever had. I dread going to the doctor, but when I was little (and even all the way up to being 19) I LOVED going to see Dr. Miraglia. I was always excited to see him. He always had my mom and I giggling and happy, no matter if I had pneumonia or a small rash. He is absolutely like family to my mom and I. He also saw my brother most of his life, who is 30 now. We are both incredibly healthy and happy kids. This is more of a personal review, but don't let that review (that only one) with one review steer you away from Dr. Miraglia. Your kid will leave with a smile on their face, a new sticker every time (that was one of my favorite parts of the visit) and you knowing your kid is in the best shape they can possibly be. If not, he'll fix it. Also, he's a DOCTOR, he's not going to ask you a medical question that he needs to physically see! It's called a damn physical! Ridiculous. Anyway, he's amazing!

Dr Prystowsky has been the best Pediatrician we have ever seen. We switched to him recently due to…read moresome unresolved health problems with our one year old. I was beyond frustrated and wanted answers - he came highly recommended to us and when I called his office to explain our situation they were able to get us in to see him. He is very popular and booked out but we have been accommodated on numerous times. Dr Prystowsky has spent an hour with our family at each appointment sitting down and going over everything. I feel like he truly genuinely cares about my daughter and wants to get to the bottom of what is going on. We feel like he has been on point with his prognosis. He is very intelligent, funny, and caring and I highly recommend him! Also, I wanted to mention that his medical assistant and the ladies at the front desk of that office have been nothing but kind and professional and also seem like they genuinely care! Just an amazing office all around.

She immediately diagnosed a severe build-up of fluid in my middle ear as the cause of the rupture and the existing discomfort I was experiencing. She talked me through the options and made me feel very comfortable with starting out with the least intrusive route of meds and waiting. After the two week wait-and-see approach which brought only slight improvement Dr. Schmitt decided to do a myringotomy which she performed expertly. There was minimal pain involved and it immediately brought relief, which got even better over the next 10 days. I feel the problem was fully resolved and I appreciated the time, concern and care which Dr. Schmitt provided.

Many times he personally has called to check in on a sick kid or to return a message left for him and to ease my mind or give direction what steps to take. Dr. Brewer makes a personal connection. We have seen him out and about in the community and he always says Hello, sometimes before we have and even when he is clearly with his family. Very cute. I couldn't recommend him more!
