Dr Ghaffari was my son's pediatrician from birth-2.5 years. She was knowledgeable, providing…read morehelpful answers to our questions. However, we usually felt rushed during our visits and had to go though our list of questions very fast so she "can get to her next patient"! She never gave our son stickers or other fun stuff either. But I was ok with all of that as I could ask her some questions on the app and my son was still too young to be bothered by lack of personal connection to his doctor. However, her behavior during our 2.5 year old checkup visit was unacceptable. My son had a chronic cough, he has been getting sick from daycare at least once a month in the past 6 months, always with the same exact symptoms of congestion and a cough. Dr Ghaffari herself had seen him over video visits multiple times and had assured us the cough is due to congestion and nothing to worry about. Despite that, we have always tested him for COVID (poor baby ), and of course it was always negative. Our checkup appointment was at 8:45am and I realized my son's cough had got a little bit worse when he woke up that morning. But it was nothing close to a concern for me as I had seen worse colds at least 6-7 times before. So I decided to still take him to his appointment. We got there 3 min late (at 8:48am). The front desk did check us in and my son coughed right there. I asked the lady what to do as he doesn't accept wearing a mask (because come on you can't expect a 2 year old to always cooperate). She just said I can cover his mouth when he coughs. So we went on to the doctor. As she started chatting, my son made another cough. This was the moment she became a completely different person! She rushed out of the office and came back with a gown, a face shield, goggles, a different mask, etc. Then she started talking to me in a very disrespectful and condescending manner, saying why we were there when my son is coughing and not wearing a mask, etc. I was in utter shock. She said "I'm gonna examine him, but we will talk more on the phone". I felt so disrespected I didn't even want to be there another minute, so I told her "you don't need to examine him, I'm gonna take him home and we'll make another appointment". I dressed him up and left. Later on that day, she sent a message trying to explain her behavior based on their protocols, etc, but it was all excuses and no apology as she even tried to attribute her behavior to us being late "on several occasions"! I just couldn't take it anymore. I've been dealing with her rushing us every time and I've been ok waiting for her to come to the room, but now she was offended that we we were 3 min late (when her front desk wasn't)? How come the patient's time is not important to her, but her own time is so valuable? That day I realized she's rude, entitled, and can be very unprofessional. As a working mom, I always understand if people are 5-10 min late. And under no circumstances I allow myself to speak this disrespectfully. As for my son, of course his COVID test came back negative this time too. I found another pediatrician for him who turned out to be pretty good and not rushing us and respectful as well.

Dr. Renschler takes the time to answer our questions, assuage our concerns, and provide true care for our child. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have come across someone so caring. We've also had to do follow-up scans and labs after a routine or sick child visit. No matter what, we always get a call from Dr. Renschler after the results come in, helping us understand the results, and walking us through any concerns and next steps. The fact that she calls us on her off days and after work hours is a true testament to how caring of a physician she is. Other doctors would make us wait until the next business day; Dr. Renschler recognizes we are worried parents and calls us that same day, even if it's 9:00 PM! During our routine checkups, we've had a few things come up where our child had a concern that a general pediatrician might not fully understand or be able to diagnose. Rather than just attempting to figure things out, Dr. Renschler gets us to the right specialist to either provide the care our child needs, or to put our concerns to rest by ruling out with their particular expertise. Though it adds a bit of stress to have to see additional care providers, knowing Dr. Renschler both consults with these specialists, or gets us to see them, confirms that we have a doctor for our child who truly cares and wants the best for us. The excellent care our child has gotten is well worth the stress. We cannot thank Dr. Renschler enough for her excellent care. Every new parent (and any parents looking for a new pediatrician) would be lucky to have her as a pediatrician!

It took us almost 4 years to find Dr. Glinder after moving to the peninsula. We have really high…read moreexpectations for our doctors and we have one child with asthma, allergies etc. We have to see Dr. Glinder for a lot more than just the wellness visit. He is always in a great mood and excited to see the kids. He is the only doctor who has ever been able to handle both my very active boys. My children absolutely love Dr. Glinder. My son who has been hospitalized and seen a lot of grumpy doctors had developed a significant fear of doctors. Dr. Glinder transformed my son's opinion of going to the doctor!! When we needed to communicate behavioral issues and didn't want our child to hear what we said, Dr. Glinder had no problem talking to my husband in one room while I stayed with our son in another room. He is empathetic, understanding and kind to the parents. My husband and I both agree that he's the best pediatrician we have ever been to. I just wish we had him from the birth of our children. Prior to seeing Glinder, we were seeing a pediatric pulmonologist at Lucille Packard (Dr. Yuan) several times a year. After finding Glinder, we moved all our pulmonology treatment to Glinder. No need for the specialist - what a relief! This is a life changer for my little guy who had such anxiety every time we would see Yuan. I hope that Dr. Glinder is teaching/training new pediatricians at PAMF. One time, he pretended that my 5 year old was a human eraser on the chalkboard in the office. Every time we go to the office, my son remembers that. On another occasion when my son was having difficulty at the appointment, Dr Glinder told him to go find the secret light in the light house in the waiting room. It completely distracted him and got us successfully through the visit. The only negative I can point out is not about Dr. Glinder but about their waiting room. They have a huge t.v. playing all the time! For families who are trying to limit our t.v./screen time (as they recommend to us!), it is unhelpful. However, there's an area off to the side with lots of books and cool ocean murals on the wall that you can hang out while you wait. You just have to convince t.v. deprived kids not to wander over to the t.v.!
