I loved Dana so much and the office overall did a great job with my little one! But unfortunately, they terminated our relationship once I declined the vaccines due to everything I have been studying and was met with skepticism and dismissal by Dr. Chase when I mentioned that I have autoimmune conditions that could also be triggered in my baby after being exposed to the heavy metals used for vaccines. Many doctors are backing this up with evidence and they should respect parents' decision on this topic. Later that week, when I mentioned this to my PCP - who's also a conventional medicine doctor, he straight up said: "pediatricians make tons of money with vaccines, so if they kept parents like you it would send a message and they don't want to lose money". It's all about that magic word, isn't it? So sad! read more

We have been seeing Dr. Chase as our daughter's pediatrician for the past 7 years, and we truly cannot say enough good things about her. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and thorough in every visit. Her attention to detail and genuine concern for her patients always gives us confidence and peace of mind. Dr. Chase takes the time to listen, explain, and make sure both parents and children feel comfortable and supported. We are extremely grateful for the level of care she has provided our family over the years and highly recommend her to any parent looking for an exceptional pediatrician. read more

Vaccine Schedule required for this office. They do agree to delay the schedule a bit but require your child to be injected with aluminum and formaldehyde adjuvants. You should ask if they get financial kickbacks from big Pharma to have their patients be fully vaccinated. read more

We love Dr. Chase, and most recently- we've had the chance to meet Dana Lu and she just might be our favorite!! She is sooo great with our daughter and is so kind. She really makes every visit so special. Her personality is very warm and inviting. I would definitely recommend her and Dr. Chase any day read more

I did not take my son to this clinic as they were booked for the day however, I wanted to leave a quick review from their front desk staff. I believe the lady who assisted me was named Ivy, she was so helpful! Although I was unable to book my son at their location she did show compassion when I explained our situation and provided me with an alternate urgent care center that ended up being available to see my son same day. I really really appreciate this help as it's never easy seeing your little one sick and the fact she went out of her way to give me an alternative solution was outstanding. Their front desk really goes above and beyond. Thank you!! read more

Very attentive staff and extremely friendly doctor Dr.Armann. They made our baby feel very comfortable and was able to get appointments promptly. read more

They work for the insurance and pharma!! Hard pass on the dr. that doesn't address parent concern and goes by the regulations

For over 3 years, we've been consulting with doctors. I'm extremely dissatisfied with the service from the office staff, particularly regarding billing and scheduling. I found myself obliged to pay $2500 for bills submitted to insurance claims 7-10 months after the fact, resulting in insurance companies rejecting them as too outdated for claims. The staff hasn't provided clear answers regarding these delayed expenses, leaving me to cover the costs. Even after paying the $2500, I received an additional $350 bill, rejected by insurance as too old, demanding out-of-pocket payment. The front desk staff occasionally fails to answer calls for appointment cancellations. Moreover, there's consistently a lengthy wait time at the office before seeing a doctor. read more

One of the best pediatricians we've experienced in California the past 10years we've lived in California. I had four kids in five years. I take all of them to Dr. Armann. Here are some great reasons you need to take your kid(s) to Dr. Armann: 1. Dr Armann is excellent with kids. He's a natural and makes the kids (and parents) feel so welcome and at home. He's better with kids than most dads I know. 2. He is extremely wise in his profession with many years of experience and always is a good listener to the parents concerns, making him a great communicator with the parents and kids. 3. Every single member on staff here is a perfect fit for their office team. They are all so friendly, knowledgeable, gentle with kids, courteous, helpful, hard working, and above all - trustworthy. I love my family. And it feels like family every time we come here. That is why we keep coming back. Thank you Dr. Armann and team for making San Jose a nicer place to live. read more

See all

We came here to get my daughters ears pierced. I'm so glad I came here instead of a ear piercing place. It was less expensive and I felt more comfortable due to COVID. The staff is sooooo nice here. So much so that I wish I didn't have Kaiser insurance and could actually bring my kids here for their appointments. The ear piercing was so fast. It took longer to Mark the spot than to pierce the ear. read more

Dr Armann is truly one of a kind. We brought our son in to get circumcised and of course were absolutely scared. He was very calming and reassuring, he gave us the most informative tips as new parents as well as access to resources/content he creates for parents. Will definitely visit him again read more

We had Dr. Chase for just a few months before we moved out of the bay area and we still haven't found a new pediatrician that is as good as her. She truly was the perfect pediatrician and always made us feel so comfortable, didn't mind our HUGE list of questions as new parents, and was so, so friendly and sweet with our newborn. Dr. Chase was our pediatrician on rotation at the hospital when our son was born and we ended up switching from the one we had originally selected to her... we were SO glad we did. We spent our first 3 months as new, exhausted parents visiting her at the office and always felt like we were in good hands. The whole office staff was extremely friendly and made us feel like we belonged there even though we were transplants who JUST started coming in! One day we accidentally had Dr. Armann in our appointment and he was also wonderful. He gave us great advice about bath time and reassured us we were doing fine. Overall, would recommend Dr. Chase to any new parent (any parent, really). We miss her terribly!! read more

If I could give this a ZERO star review I would. Do NOT take your children here. My son has been a patient since he was a newborn. He started having seizures around 5-6 months. They told me unless caught on video we cannot do anything. fast forward to when he was a little over a year finally caught them on video. He had an EEG nothing should so he was "fine.." In May 2024 my son was seen by Good Sam ER 2 times and then was brought to see Dr. Armann at his ABSOLUTE WORST. My husband and I told them all the symptoms my son had that weekend, night of and morning of. We brought him in and he was so lethargic, his breathing was awful. Dr. Armann, said he will be fine, let him sleep it off through the night and give him pedialyte. Called me an overbearing mother while at it, while make jokes and laughing during the visit. If we had listen to him, my son would not have made it through the night. He would have died. He was DKA! Blood sugar of over 500 and was diagnosed as a type 1 Diabetic. My son is 2!!!!!! As a doctor they are trained to know these signs. he completely dismissed our son. He didn't even offer blood tests or a simple finger prick for blood sugar. He completely failed our son. Do not bring your children here. Thank God we listened to our gut. Thank God for Valley Med and saving our boys life. Please advocate for your children. We are all they have. (This is it in a nutshell.) read more

My two sons Xiaoyan and Xiaohan both been there for five years. Dr Armann is very interesting. Dr Chase is very patient. Kids like both of them. They are experienced and always a good listener to the parents' concerns, will give the kids very good suggestions! They are the best pediatricians. And everyone in the office is so nice and helpful.Strong recommended! 5 star! read more

I've been living in the Bay Area for 3 years now and I have finally found my kids doctor! I had been doing virtual appointments with our doctor down in LA since we moved here and had a absolutely TERRIBLE experience with another doctor. I heard a lot of that doctors patients are now coming to Doctor Chase and Doctor Armann's office from there. Hopefully they are out of business because the other doctor was terrible. ANY WAY! We have been seeing Dr. Chase and couldn't be happier. She is SOOOOOOOOO kind and has a great bedside manners. She is thorough. I am the kind of parent who does in-depth research on- well.. everything. Especially medical topics so that I can better understand how to be advocate for them. And I have never felt crazy bringing up topics to talk about with her. She totally explains everything and makes my kids feel comfortable. She also suggested a type of Vaccine that could be inhaled instead of shot. Because my kids are so scared of needles!! My husband and I left the office with the kids feeling like we had been sent an actual Angel of a doctor. Weird that we look forward to office visits now LOL. Thanks Dr. Chase and office staff for being so kind every time! Ha, I was almost done... but I should really Mention the office staff. Every single person we have interacted with has been VERY friendly and kind. I know when choosing a doctor, the staff can ruin the experience completely. Luckily that's not the case here. Thank you also to the office staff for always being welcoming. My kids and I appreciate it greatly. Ok, now i am done. read more

We came here for my daughter's ear piercings. The staff was super friendly and Dr Chase was sure to answer any questions we might have had. They provided an ointment that they used to numb her ears so it wouldn't be so painful and made sure that I was happy with the exact spot they were going to pierce. At the end of the visit I received after care instructions. Very professional and sanitary. I'll be sure to recommend if anyone is looking to get their children's ears pierced. read more

Strangest conversation with reception. My newborn baby had a minor procedure that I can't tell if its healing right or not and would like to switch pediatrician for a second opinion. Bc I said the words "second opinion" I was flat out rejected as a potential patient as it made them "uncomfortable". That's it, that was the extent of the conversation. Just go away we only want healthy patients. Confusing, I thought clinics are designed to treat patients. read more

Terrible. I had the strangest conversation with the receptionist. They do not take children who need second opinion. Like the previous comment stated, only healthy supposedly kids will be accepted. read more

Dr Armann is the best doctor ever , I still remember how he explained dad holding , tips on breast feeding when he visited our 1 day old kid who is 6 Years now .. Dr. Armann is very passionate, kind, thorough and Knowledgeable at every visit he gives some tips which are very useful. He loves all his kids :) read more

Dr Armann & Dr Chase - Pediatricians Near Me - San Jose, California

The best pediatrician care in bay area. Both doctors are amazing, and their office staff has the best bedside manner and are just lovely.

We love Dr. Armann and Dr. Chase. We're new parents and they've been really attentive with our many (lol) questions. When our son wasn't feeling well, we immediately got a virtual appointment that day and had clear answers about how to treat his pain. It's been very easy to schedule appointments as well. read more

We've been gung to Dr. Armann for over 16 yrs. I've first learned of him as he was rated in the top 5 Pediatricians in the whole Bay Area in local publications. He was and is recommended by RN's from the local hospital. He is always informative of the current needs for my three kids throughout the years. He is kind, approachable, reliable. The kids love him. read more

Awful patient service! I've waited one hour (literally one hour!!) outside with a sick baby, but the doctor didn't come to visit us at all!!!!!!! Of course I've made an appointment but they don't care!! Don't come to this place as they don't respect you and your time!! read more

Both Dr. Armann and Dr. Chase are fantastic pediatricians. My wife and I are first-time parents and we are not very knowledgeable about a lot of illnesses that kids can run into. We've seen Dr. Armann and Dr. Chase for the last 6 months and they have not only treated the health issues my son had (mostly common cold), but also educated us about what to do when kids get sick and how to take good care of them. We learned a lot in the process and have become better parents now. Dr. Armann is also a very kind person and has an excellent bedside manner. My son is usually quite shy but he really likes Dr. Armann. This makes the office visit much easier since my kid actually looks forward to seeing him. I'm grateful that we have such a knowledgeable, experienced, and kind pediatrician in the Bay Area! read more

Love everyone there, Dr. Chase and Dr. Armann are amazing and the staff, Luna is blessed to have them in her life

Dr. Armann is amazing. We got super lucky being refers to him before our son was born. Couldn't be happier with he and Dr. Chase. Dr. Armann is great dealing with new parents like my wife and I. He gives great advice, is super patient with all of our questions and our questions about questions and he is amazing with our son. The staff in the office is equally amazing. They could not be more helpful. read more

Dr. Armann was extremely knowledgeable, patiently answered all of my questions, and made me feel extremely at ease when I spoke with him. He informed me about the operation and how to care for my kid thereafter. He told us that everything will recover properly and that we could contact him at any moment if we had any concerns. Overall, I was pleased with Dr. Armann's work. Thank you for taking good care of my son. read more

I brought our daughter to have her ears pierced last October 2022, this was a long overdue review, but even more warranted after having had a great experience post procedure. We were greeted warmly by their front office team, Dr. Armann and his assistant. We were well informed and the process was clean, painless and quick. Thank you for a warm and wonderful experience!!! read more

I am biased. Dr. Armann was my pediatrician when I was a kid. When I became a mom myself, I was thrilled to find he wasn't only still in practice, but wasn't even close to retirement. Score. Having a LOT of kids himself (I do believe it's upwards of 6 or 7), he's not just someone who has attained their knowledge from a book or a classroom. He's got firsthand experience with things that run the gamut. I appreciate his no-nonsense attitude with kids too. Once, there was a boy screaming bloody murder at the thought of shots...I heard Doc go in there and give him a firm talk about what was going to happen and how he was expected to behave. He is also incredibly affectionate, holding my babies as if they were his own and giving me hugs & kisses before we leave the office. Maybe that's a perk from being his patient for years and years myself? I don't know, but I won't question it too much. I'll be honest in saying that a few times, there were a misdiagnosis: contact dermatitis when it was a yeast infection in the diaper, a virus that turned into an ear infection the next day...but you know what? Ten kids (including myself, my two younger siblings, and my brother & sisters' kids) spanning the term of 27 years, the dynamic nature of medicine and illness, those aren't bad odds at all. I'll take them. When the **** has hit the fan with my son, who contracted RSV as an infant and has required 2 related hospitalizations for asthma complications, Dr. Armann has been all over it. On an unrelated note, my 7 year old confessed that she had been sharing drinks & "trying to get sneezed on" by her older brother so she could go see Dr. Armann too. Now if THAT isn't a sign of a good doctor, I don't know what is. I really cannot fathom the thought of taking my kids, present and future kids, to anyone else. read more

To be perfectly frank, I generally use Yelp to find local eateries but this is a special occasion. After having my first baby boy, I needed to find a trusted pediatrician to circumcise my little man. Since I trust Yelpers to steer me in the right direction, I figured I could rely on Yelpers for local pediatricians. ValleyMed doesn't perform the procedure and I was weary about the listed professionals they recommended... so that is how I found Dr. Armann. Dr. Armann has been very accommodating. My son was already beyond 2wks old and was scheduled for another week later. So he moved my appt forward for the baby's benefit, less traumatic the younger they are. the procedure itself was relatively painless for my baby. There was some discomfort judging by his grunts and groans, but the localized anesthesia did its job and The snippy was done in less than 10min, all the while with Dr. Armann detailing the operation every step of the way to keep me informed. His receptionist, the young Hispanic man, was very friendly and warm, although I was never contacted for a follow-up. Despite that, my little man healed quickly within a week! According to my hubby, the circumcision was beautifully done like the work of a fine craftsman. Two thumbs up! read more

Dr. Armann, simply put, is the best. My children's first pediatrician left and was replaced by another doctor. Needless to say, it wasn't the same and we were having billing issues so I went back to my children's first pediatrician and asked her for a referral. I am so glad she sent me to Dr. Armann. He is such a nice person who cares about his patients. We have been with him for about 5 years now and I have never had any issues with him or his staff. I call when my kids are sick and get an appointment for the same day. I'd give him more stars if I could!! read more

We went to Dr Armann's office to get my 9 month old daughter's ears pierced. We got his recommendation from a friend. The entire experience was so smooth right from getting an appointment to the actual piercing procedure itself. Dr Armann and his staff are super friendly and calmed our nerves. They did an excellent job with the piercing at an affordable price. Highly recommend Dr Armann and his team for any pediatric services! read more

We had a recent communications where we were billed $105 for a phone appointment with Dr. Chase which we were told we wont be charged for. We have already paid off the bill but it just seems that what we say is not trusted at all. and this is really ethically wrong. We were clearly communicated that we won't be billed for this conversation. We had initially an appnt with Dr chase for 9 month visit and travel related queries. We were asked to have this phone call a week before the 9 month visit so that required vaccines can be given during the 9 month visit. We were explicitly told we won't be billed for this. The scheduler herself made 2 separate appointments and now they are just trying to make money out a patient's trust. Its not about the amount. If we are paying so much for other visit , paying another 105$ is not a problem but thing is there is no level of trust at all. They wont believe you anyway. read more

Actually, I want to give Dr. Armann a solid five-star comment. If anyone asks me whether he is a trustable pediatrician and a wonderful person, the answer is an absolute 'Yes'. The missing 2 stars reflect our dissatisfaction of the carelessness of checking the insurance coverage, which we all know how important it is. After my daughter was born, in our first visit, we presented our insurance card to the assistant on the front-dest. And we have been told that they can accept our insurance plan. After several months, we have been contacted by the insurance provider that we chose a doctor out-of-network and they will not pay the cost. And when I called back, they told me that they don't accept our plan! If the insurance information was never changed, I am wondering why they did not tell us at the beginning. The out-of-network issue eventually cost us hundreds of dollars. And I think they may not tell us if I didn't find out and ask again. So, if anyone asks me the same question, I will say "YES", go to visit Dr. Armann and he can definitely take good care of your baby. But remember to double-check your insurance plan. read more

Went for an introduction meeting with Dr Armann. I was very impressed with his knowledge and manners. He nicely answered all my questions and didn't have any time limit. Very recommended! read more

Our babies just melt in his arms We took both of our sons to be circumcised by him, and not only did he do a phenomenal & perfect job, but our babies reacted very well and neither of them shed a tear durning the process! Dr.Armann is an expert at his craft and we HIGHLY recommend him thank you Dr. Armann!! read more
