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!

She reassured us that this can be normal in small babies but told us to keep an eye on it, if anything changed we were to come back to check it again. About a week or two went by and it it had grown and gotten much firmer so we took him back. Dr. Kim has been such a godsend throughout this whole process. She is extremely kindhearted and gentle with her tiny patients, and very easy to talk to and responsive with anxious parents. I am so thankful we found Dr. Seaton-Smith and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pediatrician who treats her patients with the care and attentiveness as if they were her own!!

Dr. Susan Adham is truly one of a kind! When I had my son…read morein June, he was only 5 lbs 1 oz and had blood sugar issues, so his circumcision was delayed. Dr. Adham was out, so we first saw Dr. Hill -- she was polite but very by-the-book. She told me to fortify bottles for weight gain and said "formula is perfectly fine," but it didn't feel supportive of my breastfeeding goals or include a plan to get back to exclusive nursing. Two weeks later, we saw Dr. Adham and the difference was night and day. She celebrated my son's weight gain, supported my breastfeeding journey, and truly listened. When I asked about circumcision, she caught something everyone else missed -- a curvature called chordee -- and referred us to a urologist. He'll need surgery, and had she not noticed, it could've caused major issues later. She's compassionate, thorough, and genuinely cares. We're so grateful for her!

Believe the hype!!…read more Pediatricians, or should I say, good pediatricians are slim pickin's in this neck of the woods. Well, Dr. Adham is the greatest!! You can tell she genuinely LOVES her work and loves babies. Let me start by saying that I am a worry wart when it comes to certain things and my baby is one of them. I am constantly worrying about whether everything is normal and on track with my little one. Dr. Adham is VERY personable, thorough, and engaging. She does not rush you out of the exam room and gives you as much time as needed. She is also patient in answering all my new mommy questions. My only gripe is with the appointment call center and front office staff. I wish there was better organization. For example, I called to make an appointment about 3 weeks in advance. The day before the appointment I called to confirm my appointment and was told I was all confirmed and ready. Later that afternoon I received a call from the front desk staff needing to switch her appointment to 1 hour later. Although this is not a big deal ... this seems to be a common problem within this office and therefore should be improved. I'm looking forward to a long lasting relationship with Dr. Adham for all my baby health needs ... she is the best!!

That was fine with me, I would just pay out of pocket as we were already there for the appointment. The receptionist (light, short curly hair) wearing a pink shirt stated that she isn't supposed to be doing this. Doing what exactly? Accepting patients who were paying out of pocket? We promptly walked out after seeing her attitude toward us. She was extremely rude and condescending. Faye S. Lundergan, do yourself a favor and hire a receptionist who actually likes their job.

They actually lied saying they didn't have the equipment, because as DOCTOR lindergen put it it was almost 5 o'clock.

I was so Irate when i left there that day you have no idea. I'm still upset just thinking about it. They have to do better. I've had several other times when Dr Depala said, " Oh the staff should have never given you that advice that was completely wrong." And never see Dr Lindergren she herself has given me the wrong antibiotics and horrible advice on numerous occasions. She also once told me to get some backbone in my voice when I complained of feeling overwhelmed with two kids. Which proves she doesn't know me at all. She never remembers that I've been sick, and in and out of the hospital the last year. (my old dr used to always ask how we were doing. It may may sound selffish but is acually important info when treating the child to know how the parent ar dealing with a new phase, ect.) She never even remembers anything about my kids, never knows theirs names, or even reads the chart before opening her mouth.

The bedside manner from the other doctors were undesireable but the nursing staff was alright. Dr Morgese herself was probably the best experience out of an overall experience, she once took a question I had and researched it, and called me back a month later for further exploration. My biggest complaint are the administrative/reception ladies. Since we dont like this office, we've decided to take our son back to his original pediatrician in San Francisco. I've called three times to have his records transferred witout luck. They required me to fill out a release for the records, and fax it back...I did it promptly. They never released the records. I called again and the woman at the reception took my number and never called me back. Today I called at 12:15 to hear a recording that they are at lunch from 12:30-1:30 daily and to leave a message. How can anyone think it's ok to take their kid to a place that runs like this?
