Dr's Tang and Huie were incredibly supportive through an otherwise very scary time and have been so great to work with from day 1. While I was recovering in the hospital, Dr. Tang stopped by to check in on me and ask about my son, even though he was in the NICU and not with me. She could not go into the NICU due to COVID but followed all updates in his chart and called me throughout my 6-day hospital stay to see how things were progressing and answer any questions. While this may not seem that notable, her proactiveness during my c-section recovery and hospital stay was such a lifesaver. I didn't have the energy or wherewithal to pick up the phone to dial her but I inevitably had questions every time she called. Since bringing my son home, we've worked closely with both Dr's to get my son his proper vaccinations and work through all newborn concerns. They are super responsive, patient, and experienced. I've never once felt rushed out of their office or off the phone. They are thorough and, in my opinion, that is critical in healthcare. Dr's diagnose/treat based on information - asking questions then listening to patients could make a life-altering difference. That attention can be hard to find these days as everyone seems to be in a hurry. I am so grateful to have found them!

He does a great job communicating, calming our new parent anxieties and making us comfortable to ask our (silly) questions. We moved to Alameda and alas had to switch clinics, but I continue to recommend him to friends who live in the city. Thanks Doctor T!

We love Dr. Tejeda!…read more He is what we call a "chill" pediatrician. He's a great balance for me; if I'm worried about something, his approach is generally "Your baby is growing well and is happy, so things are fine!" He doesn't want you to be overly concerned about things when there isn't definitive evidence that something is harmful for your baby. I always come out of appointments with him feeling more relaxed about all things baby-related. Of course, he will push for a few things, and when he does, that's when I know it really is important. He speaks in terms of studies and evidence, so you know he keeps up with the literature and his approach is objective. I fill out Sutter's questionnaire on the Sutter app before each appointment, including a section that asks if you have any questions for you doctor. He always comes having read my questions in advance, ready with his answers. Thank you for being a steady source of support for our family!

Far from being a hassle, visits to Dr. Kaplan are something our family looks forward to eagerly…read more Our daughter, now almost 3, regularly asks when she GETS to see Dr. Kaplan again. This should tell you everything you need to know about her as an all-star provider. She is easy to schedule with, her team is responsive, and her guidance is thoughtful and tailored to the needs of the family. She exudes calm and authority. And she is hilarious. If you like a good dose of humor and perspective she is just the pediatrician for you. If you want someone who will fan the flames of your anxiety, look elsewhere. She is willing to tell us when we are overthinking something; we value the grace and tact with which she does this.

This review is for Dr. Jacqueline Antoun! I brought in my daughter this week for low grade fever…read morelasting for two days, no food intake, weakness and fatigue. She was confirmed to be negative for strep but when I asked if this may be a flu, she said no antibiotics needed as this is a virus. Two days later, my youngest got the same symptoms and so did their cousins( we all were on a family gathering prior to my daughter getting sick). BUT! Cousins were tested for a flu (which we were not offered, despite my specific question about it), in another clinic and then were prescribed Tamiflu. Cousins now are feeling so much better. When I called the clinic, the rep said I need to go buy a test from a pharmacy, check if we also have a flu and if confirmed to make another appointment to be able to get the medication. Really?! I will have to buy a test now , pay for previous appt (10 min), pay for another appointment and then pay for meds when it could have been avoided, had the doctor spend more than 7-10 min. It's sad watching your kiddo being sick for soon to be a week and to have to tell them to tough it up when there is always a better option.

After more than 20 years as a patient with Pacific Pediatrics, I never imagined I would feel…read morecompelled to write a review like this. I brought my 15-year-old son in for a routine well-child visit with Dr. Daniel Kelly. Instead of what I expected to be a discussion focused on my son's health, much of the appointment became an extended lecture about COVID, the COVID vaccine, and the HPV vaccine. I welcome thoughtful discussions with physicians and respect that doctors have expertise, but I also believe parents should be able to ask questions or express concerns without being made to feel unintelligent or dismissed. Throughout the conversation, I felt that any attempt at open dialogue or a differing perspective was immediately discounted rather than discussed. I left feeling disrespected and insulted rather than supported as a parent trying to make informed decisions for my child. What was most upsetting was that this entire interaction took place in front of my 15-year-old son. After we left the office, he told me he did not want to see Dr. Kelly again because of the way he witnessed me being spoken to. That, more than anything, convinced me that this experience was unacceptable. I am not writing this review to debate vaccines or public health recommendations. I am writing it because I believe families deserve to know what kind of communication style they may encounter. If you appreciate collaborative conversations and expect your questions or differing viewpoints to be treated respectfully, my experience with Dr. Kelly was not consistent with those expectations. After two decades with this practice, this was by far the most upsetting medical appointment I have experienced as a parent. I sincerely hope Pacific Pediatrics takes patient communication seriously, because respectful dialogue is just as important as medical expertise.

We have moved couple of times and also switched pediatricians because we weren't happy with their approach. Our last Dr. was pushing us to go the ER second day in a row after we had already been the night before because she couldn't accurately diagnose my younger child's minor hematoma. Dr. Dayal has provided specialist referrals for both my kids proactively, my older kid had a history that needed annual specialist visits and for my younger child, I could tell Dr.Dayal was really weighing the option, asking a lot of questions, before gently suggesting it to me. I believe in trusting my doctor but also doing my research and following my instincts as a mom, and this might work for parents like me. Appointments are super easy to set up and the office is really convenient and nice to work with.
