We knew from the get-go that we wanted a pediatrician that respected our healthcare beliefs and fostered a positive, welcoming health care environment for our daughter. Dr. Amy and her staff are amazing. Each visit is unique and individualized, providing enough time to thoroughly discuss any questions or concerns. Dr. Amy is exceptionally knowledgeable and truly cares for her patients. Her office gives off a warm, cozy vibe unlike traditional doctor offices. Due to a recent move, we unfortunately have had to find a different pediatrician for our daughter. But, Dr. Amy has been absolutely wonderful to our daughter over the past 5 months, and any child would be lucky to be under her care!

Dr. Maidenberg has a great bedside manner, is very personable and helps you navigate treatment and care in a balanced and respectful way. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you and your child are comfortable during exams, telling you what she is doing and looking for. No long wait times or impersonal care- a big plus when you have young children. If you have an emergency or questions after hours she is always available and returns calls and messages promptly. We love her approach to pediatrics and our children like going to the doctor because it's always a pleasant experience to visit her office. Highly recommend this practice and Dr. Maidenberg' s expert care and guidance!

Dr. Usem is a nice and personable guy and does a good job of answering questions. However I noticed…read morethat he didn't wash his hands upon entering the room or put on gloves and it bothered me a little but didn't say anything. Halfway through the visit, my 2 month old began crying. To quiet him, Dr. Usem put his ungloved, unwashed hand inside my baby's mouth to quiet him. I was shocked and horrified but at that point it was too late to say anything because it had already been done. Fortunately my pandemic baby didn't get sick or anything but it made me as a parent sick to my stomach. This happened last year in early 2020 and I was meaning to write this sooner to warn other pandemic parents but it kept slipping my mind. I hope that they have upped their sanitation and PPE requirements with all that is going on with COVID. I never came back to this office after that.

Dr Usem and Dr Horowitz are awesome. They have a lactation nurse (in Alameda office) who is also very helpful.

They're office is also located where parking is not hard to find -- a plus for moms.

She is kind, compassionate, incredibly responsive, and brings so much energy and warmth to every interaction. There have been multiple occasions when one of our children have shown signs of an ear infection late at night, and she responded promptly, saw them to make an accurate diagnosis, and made sure they received the treatment they needed as soon as possible. Whenever my kids feel anxious about an appointment, she is able to calm their fears, make them feel safe, and even turn the visit into a positive experience. I especially appreciate how thoroughly she explains medical concerns in a way that's easy to understand. She takes the time to answer questions and listens to my concerns. I always feel heard, respected, and confident in the care my children receive. We are so grateful to have found Dr. Ashley and highly recommend her!

Hi new parents! I love our pediatrician, so let this be an ode to her!…read more Dr. Pickering at East Bay Peds is a great choice for your pediatrician needs. And to add: We've seen a few other doctors from East Bay Peds right after our son was born due to the nature of newborn's doc schedules, and everyone has been so nice. They do have 1 or 2 doctors that do circumcisions (lots of info for ya, right there). Back to Dr. Pickering. She's funny, she's real laid back in the most professional kind of way, she's smart and easy to talk to as a parent. She takes time to answer all our questions, and makes sure to ask us questions. She's far from uptight or reserved and we really like that about her. She's fun! We def are first time parents and have 1000000 & 1 questions every time we see her. Half the time she laughs and tells us we're doing a great job and keep doing it and the other time she elaborates to us what really getting at: what should we be feeding our son? Is there anything we can be doing to make sure he develops the best way possible? Yada yada yada. They're pretty on time. We've never had any problem scheduling an appointment. There's a playground next door. It's a few blocks from Elmwood if we need lunch. They have a 24 hour hot-line with a nurse which I'm not gonna lie: we've called probably about 20x this first year: is his head flat, he has a splinter, why is his butt so red, etc... Overall, we're super happy with East Bay Peds. They are organized, professional, but also so warm and inviting. * I'd like to thank the heavens and stars that be that our son is healthy and we haven't had any issues; I can't tell you how they deal with that or emergencies.

First off, we love Dr.Handler. He's amazing and the only reason we're still with EBP. And setting…read moreup appointments and working with the front office is fine. But Dr. Miller is why I decided to write this review. She was on call when our son was born so we met her in the hospital, and now again today (a year later) when we needed to speak to the on call doctor about an injury my son just had. From that first interaction to this one, Dr. Miller has made us feel like insufficient, blundering parents. Today my son accidentally got hold of a clothes hanger and cut the inside of his mouth. I obviously already feel like a terrible parent, and the questions she asked, and the way she asked them, were so condensing and judgmental ("does he often play with hangers?") it pushes me into an even deeper feeling of insufficiency and guilt and is entirely unhelpful in trying to assess if my child needs additional care. When trying to describe what happened, she asked for pictures and I asked a clarifying question and she laughed at me and responded in a way that made me feel so stupid for asking. She was like this the day he was born as well, trying to push us into make a fast decision on a very important topic that we learned later we actually had weeks to decide on. As a parent, this is the last person I want to answer the phone when I'm at my most vulnerable, panicking about a situation, and need advice. I would not advise working with Dr. Miller.

I could not be happier with the care they receive from Berkeley Pediatrics. Every staff member is an extremely competent, huge hearted person that goes above and beyond for their patients. Special shoutout to Dr. AnneMarie Franks, whose gentle humor and wealth of knowledge make her nothing short of a hero in my eyes. Every time one of my kids are sick, they are seen right away and shown a ton of compassion. I'm sure I come off as cold or rude at times due to my fears, and my family still receives nothing but respect and empathy in return. I am extremely grateful to have found them. Berkeley Pediatrics is top-notch!

We were switched over to Dr. Burge, which we have been with for at least 5 years now. We adore her! She listens and really cares about the kids. I hope she stays for a long time cause my kids and I enjoy seeing her. The staff there are always nice. The MA (medical assistants) seems to change often though.. Parking (in the back) can be hard, it's shared with the post office and another office. Sometimes you can find parking in the front (park street) and around the corner, but you have to pay. Overall, my kids love coming here, there is a place in the waiting room that they can color and then after the visit, you used to get a lollipop and sticker, but now you can get a token to choose your prize like a bouncy ball, sticky hands etc, or you can opt for just a huge square sticker. The bandages they give after they give a shot or anything is also always cute, like transformers, dogs, cats, etc. Someone is always greeting you at the front and super friendly. The wait is not long after you check in.

I then get an amazing sonography "Jordan" who made the room feel so cozy and he made me feel safe and comfortable, it was hard to keep my eyes open I was so comfortable .

We've been with Dr. Maria for nine years and have three kiddos under her care. Every experience we've had with her has been supportive and thoughtful. Dr. Maria is unlike any other pediatrician. She gives out her personal phone number, and you can contact her at any time. This is especially important when you have a baby you're worried about in the middle of the night. Her availability has saved us from unnecessary ER visits many times! She also makes house calls for the first few newborn visits, which is such a gift in those early months of parenthood. She's exactly the person you want in your corner as a new mom. Her office is welcoming, kid-focused, and warm. A special touch we love is her well-trained dog who joins visits--this has made vaccines so much easier for our kids! I cannot recommend Dr. Maria enough. I refer her to all my friends and will continue to do so. You will not be disappointed with the care you receive at her office!
