He had some lung issues after he was born, and you were so kind and caring, from day one. I will never forget how gentle you were with him and also with me as a first time mom. You are the best and I will always remember and be grateful for your care and concern for your patients, especially my son. You really are the best, most caring Pediatrician I have ever met and I feel so blessed to have found you to care for my son when he was born.

We were there for an hour and a half and most of that was just waiting. A second doctor to the practice would definitely alleviate the long waits patients and their families have. That said, the doctor literally saw us for maybe 3 minutes. She checked my child with her stethoscope and that's pretty much it. In the pre-check in forms, I even wrote my concerns that my son might be autistic but didn't say it was anything to be worried about. This also told me that because I had to bring it up that she either never read my check-in forms or didn't care to discuss it. Almost everyone who has met my kid, including past teachers, and interacted with him expressed their concerns that he might on the autism spectrum. Dr. Dong is nice but that doesn't make up for lacking in other areas.

We just switched health care providers and this was one of our options. We have been with Kaiser…read morefor nearly 9 years and it was a difficult choice for us to move. If we could, we would have stayed with Kaiser, but that's not an option b/c the mister's work doesn't offer it. I logged into the health care providers site and there were over 100 doctors to choose from. OY! How the heck do I choose? Thankfully a friend of ours takes her children to BAP and she had 2 names of doctors that she would recommend. Thankfully those 2 doctors were listed in the names that were available to us. There is a rather large parking lot behind the medical building, but it seems that most of the employees park there. I was warned by my friend that sometimes getting a space can be a b!tch. Thankfully our appointment was at 9AM, so there were still a few parking spaces available. When we came out everything was full, and people were waiting for people to leave. *Note to self: Schedule early appointments. The waiting area space is okay. Lots of things for the kids to do which I'm not used to with Kaiser. The lilmiss went straight for the playhouse. Kids were playing with the various tables and the walls were appropriately decorated with children's artwork. There were a few magazines for the parents and plenty of books for the children. Unlike Kaiser we were seen right away. Which is nice. I didn't even get a chance to finish my paperwork. One thing I didn't like were the exam rooms. They seemed very dated, like they needed some TLC. Another thing was the infant scale was located all the out by the entrance. I was asked to remove my daughter's clothes and leave on her diaper and carry her out and around to the scales. Thankfully it wasn't too chilly, but still! The nurse weighed her with her diaper on too which I know was full and added some weight to her reading, inaccuracy. Either I'm too used to Kaiser or I just don't know. Normally we're given a sheet of paper for milestones to expect as well as height and weight written down. We're also given the option to schedule the next appointment, seeing as how it will be in another 2 months. I have my likes and dislikes for BAP, but I'm sure there will be some things that I need to get used to after being in a system like Kaiser for 9 years.

Having come from an awful experience at Kaiser, I was looking for a competent, compassionate, and responsive pediatrician. Dr. Zaglin has far exceeded my expectations. The first appointment was the 18 month check up for my daughter. My daughter was very anxious and cried. Dr. Zaglin took the time to ease his way into her good graces and now when I ask if she wants to see Dr. Zaglin she says "Yes he gives stickers!" We have seen Dr. Zaglin three times since then and he has always been very caring towards my daughter. He speaks to her directly and gets her to warm up to him before he begins examining her. He also takes an interest in other non-medical issues like her sleep patterns and language development. At Kaiser they told me that her sleep issues were not their concern and not a health issue. THANK YOU Dr. ZAGLIN and your wonderful team for providing this first time mom with peace of mind that you truly have my child's best interest at heart.

Dr. Tanaka did an exceptional job communicating her thought process, asking for my input and answering all of my questions patiently. She called after hours to check up on how my daughter was doing, asked to see her the next day and gave me a thorough assessment of the progress that was being made the following day. You can tell she genuinely cares and was so happy to see my daughter's personality shine thought again. She went the extra mile for us by asking us to draw blood before prescribing steroids to increase the chances we were treating the right underlying symptoms/ issue. This added admin on her plate but I appreciated that she didn't go straight to treating my child without being more sure about the underlying cause.

She spent at least 30 minutes going over every detail about my 2 year old and our family history. She was so patient, kind and knowledgeable. My daughter typically is terrified of the doctors office but Dr. Fernandez was able to get her comfortable and calmed her nerves. From the moment we walked in everyone was fantastic and welcoming. My daughter left with a smile on her face and a lollipop and sticker in hand. I am so happy I found Dr.Fernandez and her staff. We found our family pediatrician and she's located only 5 minutes from our home. I will highly recommend her to all my friends and family that have kids. So recommend you check her out. Bonus: First time my daughter left without tears! The RN that pricked my daughter finger was super fast and efficient. I closed my daughters eyes and she was done within seconds. The medical assistant was also super professional and knowledgeable about insurance questions. I think she was the MA and reception. Thank you for giving myself, daughter and even grandma who joined me a great experience.

We signed up because they called this a "concierge" style model on the website. It's not really…read moreconcierge at all in my opinion. You pay a fee like $40/month I believe to join the practice. We ended up leaving after 2 months of our baby being born and went to another truly concierge-style pediatrician. The issues we had here was that 90% of our encounters were with a Nurse Practioner. Maybe I just got unlucky and never had an md available. The final straw was probably when my baby had his 2 month vaccine, ran a fever the same night, and the NP picked up the after hours call. She made us really nervous that something was extremely wrong even though it was just the vaccine. I mean after hours is for emergency. What if it was something worse- couldn't a doctor at least be on call? They also bill you for everything. I mean everything. Just sending an email with a photo of my baby's red bump, and then they ask to jump on a call for a few minutes just to tell me it's baby acne and then they bill $300-$400. Why not just respond via email. The same thing with asking basic questions like he's spitting up, constipated. Need to jump on a call and then get billed $300-$400. Money is not an issue for us but overtime it just seemed so ridiculous and prevented me from even wanting to email or call in. They also seem to love probiotics here. My baby had dry skin and the nurse told us to use probiotics to resolve it? He's spitting up, she told us to use probiotics. He's constipated. The solution was to use probiotics. My baby also developed a flat head. They sent us to physical therapy and to get advised for a helmet right away. At my new practice, the MD wanted to take a look at him first and then sent a referral to UCSF to get consultation with their cranio team. Anyway. I just felt like it's really cookie cutter here. Didn't feel like they cared about my baby at all. It's more like they provide good service. Yes someone will always respond to your email right away and answer your call. But just expect an NP or to be billed for every conversation you have with them.
