All to have a phone call 1 hour before my appt refusing to be seen because my medical records have not arrived yet from my previous doctor. I don't work in the medical industry. If I've asked multiple times I'd think the office would try a little harder to accommodate their patients and request them theirselves (which they would not do) so here I am 8 months pregnant in a new area with no doctor after waiting 2 months to be seen, having to completely start over. What a waste of time.

Increasingly out of touch, too focused on social life and Warriors and training of new medical…read moreassistants. Delays and office wait are true from other reviews. It's a degrading situation. This is not the interpretation of a weary parent, this is also the assessment of a teen patient who was too respectful, polite and hopeful to call out the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the care offered when the patient knew something fresh was needed. Referral of services for other care was extremely ineffective and unhelpful, waste of time and our adult (parent) family primary care physician even told us the doctors, locations and services that were suggested by this office were the scariest and not good places or doctors. We learned the hard way that the referrals were stale, We spent a lot of time trusting the referrals and trying to find our solution. This was precious time lost while being bullied at school that the child could have used to make progress rather than struggle. Current era bullying is a topic not well understood by this office and this office is not equipped with finding the right fit for care. The Rx were only a benefit to Pharma and have scary side effects that were counseled to the parent as 'most kids' are on these meds these days, that's not a good basis to counsel a parent. You'd think a professional with decades of experience would have a better assessment of efficacy. An office like this with the cost of visits, which were also a billing focus and priority for the office, should have an excellent top tier network and fresh ideas, with cutting edge care referrals. At the prices charged (especially for a HDHP deductible situation), there's a lot more out there in the services field; a simple good therapist approach is best. My kid also did not have confidence and trust in the doctor or staff. Experienced professionals should recognize this and immediately tell parents and help them find another primary care provider where the kid is comfortable; instead of shielding their findings from the parent, regardless of patient age and confidentiality. We got a simple "I'd like to see the patient again in 2-4 weeks, can't quite figure out what the problem is ..". Chaching$$$$$ more visits. Suggest: Prioritize care and reduce poor referrals. Prioritize care over billing codes. For bullying that causes anxiety, develop better resources, help parents expose the problem, not hide it in confidentiality presumptions. Stop dragging out the recovery and stop the prescription of depression drugs that don't work, and only benefit big Pharma and are impacting a teen brain that is still developing way into an individual's early 20's. Also the documentation in the medical records was inconsistent and troubling enough that it was a last straw. Under the guise of confidentiality, things were blocked so only the office could see notes and appointments and the documentation and records were inconsistent. We were told patient and parents could not see the visit notes, appointment times, etc under the guise of confidentiality. This is not correct, we are allowed have access, at a minimum the teen should have access. We now know this because our visits with other providers in the last 8 months have the same legal standards and in the same network of children's Benioff/ Alta Bates/ and John Muir networks these recent office visits and documentation share much more than this office did, and we were told by this office that neither the kid nor parents could view it based on the software and rules of confidentiality. Obviously, by equal comparison with other providers, this issue is mismanaged by this office and their statements are not accurate Our expectations for our kid as the patient and as parents for records review were VALIDATED by these newer providers as reasonable and normal, legal. It makes me think this office didn't know how to use the online system or they were over-interpreting and over-applying some rule they misunderstood. The patient has a right to see the entire file and notes and it is important for their health record. Their peer providers prove this office's record management and teen confidentiality protocols as flawed. Professionals are supposed to lead, not create more problems. Regarding time, network resources, cost and ability to problem solve, and ensure better outcomes....... There's a lot of other options out there, God bless and good luck.

First off, the location of this office is very far and inconvenient, which I didn't mind since it was for my child. The medical assistant was very rude and not friendly at all. She seemed very annoyed that my child was even being seen at this office, but that is not the worst part. Once Robin Meezan entered the room, I told her that I was there to get a school physical for TK, and to establish new care. She said that she was not "the best person for this" and basically flat out refused to be my son's Dr. Why do you ask? It's because I had other appts with other pediatricians (which were canceled) due to scheduling conflicts, distance, convenience, whatever!! My point is, it shouldn't even matter! If you are a Dr, I don't think it's ever appropriate to deny to any patient, PERIOD! Once she rudely said this to me, I was so upset and got up to walk away. She stopped me and said, I will still give you what you need today (in a condescending tone), probably due to insurance purposes. After an uncomfortable ass appt that took about 10 mins in total, the rude medical assistant proceeds to come in to give my son his vaccines. I asked if we could give him the shot in his leg, but she says "at this age, it's in the arm" and pokes him really hard, not caring if he was scared or not ready. Unless you are White, filthy rich and drive an expensive luxury vehicle; please think twice about coming here. You better believe that I will be filing a complaint with John Muir and my insurance. Thanks for reading.

He's a younger doctor which turns out to be a wonderful bonus because he knows the most current information regarding health and safety stats and research done around various topics that have come up in our visits. One of the things I love most is that he is very inquisitive and really dives in and takes his time to make sure he hears me out and has asked all questions that could exhaust all of the possibilities with any illness we've presented him with. He is so thorough and reassuring too. He spent more than 2 hours with us and then let me stay in the room to nurse for over an hour as well (on several occasions!). The staff is wonderfully warm and helpful. They get the door for me, help me carry my bag/car seat, guide me through paperwork with patience and kindness. I just love this office! PLUS, The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy is just down a block and they do medicine in liquid suspension form for babies so that's SUPER convenient. I love this office and Dr. Evans is our hero. He figured out my daughter's silent reflux be being persistent and digging to find answers even when her symptoms were not typical. He went the extra mile to be sure and sent her to a specialist so she didn't have to continue to suffer. We left Walnut Creek Pediatrics to come see Dr. Evans on a friend's recommendation. I'm so glad we did. Summit Pediatrics is far and away better than Walnut Creek Pediatrics based on how they're run and how easy it is to get a hold of someone, get calls back, and be seen immediately. Plus, they treat you with gentle, knowing compassion at Summit Pediatrics - unlike Walnut Creek Pediatrics. I just can't say enough great things about thus wonderful doctor and practice. We are forever in their debt for their wonderful service to our family.

Kristine has been so wonderful and has made such a difference with my son that I don't even know…read morewhere to begin. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. My son had several issues requiring OT and we had seen another therapist for about ~2 months. The other therapist was nice but my son quickly started dominating the sessions and he wasn't making any progress. I had called Kristine a couple of months before that but she didn't have space to see my son at the time. Fast forward to September and I get a call from Kristine that she had an opening. I had read what other Yelp reviewers had said about her so I was excited to get started. I was in for quite a surprise. Her space is AMAZING. It is both indoors and outdoors and the space is HUGE. It has a trampoline, zip line, tree house, etc. which my son loves. Everything at Kristine's place serves a purpose, while also being a ton of fun. She hit it off with my son right off the bat and he felt at ease with her. He has a lot of energy (and I mean a lot...) but she knew how to focus his attention. She challenges him in a firm but kind and supportive way. In just ~2 months, he has made SO much progress. He never used to like to draw or write and now he can't stop writing his name or our names on everything. Both his fine motor and gross motor skills have improved significantly. Before seeing Kristine, it was hard holding my son's attention for more than 10 minutes. But just last week, he put together a ~300 piece Lego set all by himself! Additionally, my son was having some difficulty at school in his TK class. Kristine made the time to sit with my son's teacher and the staff and help come up with a plan to create a supportive space for my son. I can't thank Kristine enough. The progress my son has made since seeing her is hard to capture in detail in a Yelp review. I absolutely would recommend Kristine to any parent with a child needing OT.

I am not clear why the same business has two Yelp profiles so I'm posting again: A family member of…read moremine was diagnosed with cancer, and while researching treatment options, I came across Infuze MD. After a brief call with an employee named Paolo, who spoke positively about the clinic, I shared the information with my relative. In hindsight, I realize that in my desperation, I may have overlooked warning signs. At the time, I did not realize Paolo is not a medical professional, even though he was the first person discussing treatment options. The clinic is owned and operated by Dr. Nilda Agnes Abellera, who is board-certified in PEDIATRICS but whose clinic advertises integrative medicine. My relative traveled from out of state to begin what was described as an "intensive" 20-day cancer program. According to her account, the first three days did not feel intensive. She reported that infusion rates appeared slowed, staff could not explain the scientific basis for some treatments, and the doctor missed a planned medication review. She also observed what she believed was dried blood on a chair and described an IV bag fully draining while the needle was in place, which worried her. On October 9, 2025, she said her care was terminated immediately after raising concerns, without timely written notice, referrals, or arrangements to ensure access to medical care until she could establish care elsewhere. Referrals were only provided after I contacted the clinic. This abrupt termination caused a delay of over a month in her treatment and worsened her PTSD symptoms. She also tried to obtain her medical records multiple ways. On October 10, she requested them in person but was denied. She also submitted a written request and used the clinic's online inquiry form. As of this writing--52 days later--she has not received her complete records. When I called the clinic, Paolo was tense and dismissive, and I could not speak directly with Dr. Abellera. Given the situation, I became concerned about whether proper procedures were followed and intended to file a complaint with the Medical Board of California. Additional observations and concerns (personal experience): Family-run structure: The clinic is owned by Dr. Abellera. Paolo appears to manage many aspects, and another family member may also work there. This raised questions about oversight and role clarity. Online reviews: Of 32 Google reviews, 5 were five-star without details. Only one mentioned "cancer," making it hard to evaluate patient experiences compared with other clinics with hundreds of detailed reviews. Difficulty communicating with the physician: My relative and I tried to speak directly with Dr. Abellera; she did not speak with me, and my relative felt the doctor was unwilling to address her concerns. This lack of communication was alarming given her serious diagnosis. Cost vs. expectations: The program cost approximately $1,800 per day. Based on my relative's experience, the services did not match the program description. Others may feel differently, but this was our impression. Social media promotion: Paolo participates in Facebook groups promoting the clinic without identifying himself as an employee, which seemed misleading. I have included a screenshot for reference. In more than a decade in healthcare, I have never witnessed a more concerning divergence from a physician's duty to do no harm: terminating care without notice, effectively leaving my relative without immediate, comparable care options while facing life-threatening cancer.
