First off, we love Dr.Handler. He's amazing and the only reason we're still with EBP. And setting…read moreup appointments and working with the front office is fine. But Dr. Miller is why I decided to write this review. She was on call when our son was born so we met her in the hospital, and now again today (a year later) when we needed to speak to the on call doctor about an injury my son just had. From that first interaction to this one, Dr. Miller has made us feel like insufficient, blundering parents. Today my son accidentally got hold of a clothes hanger and cut the inside of his mouth. I obviously already feel like a terrible parent, and the questions she asked, and the way she asked them, were so condensing and judgmental ("does he often play with hangers?") it pushes me into an even deeper feeling of insufficiency and guilt and is entirely unhelpful in trying to assess if my child needs additional care. When trying to describe what happened, she asked for pictures and I asked a clarifying question and she laughed at me and responded in a way that made me feel so stupid for asking. She was like this the day he was born as well, trying to push us into make a fast decision on a very important topic that we learned later we actually had weeks to decide on. As a parent, this is the last person I want to answer the phone when I'm at my most vulnerable, panicking about a situation, and need advice. I would not advise working with Dr. Miller.

Hi new parents! I love our pediatrician, so let this be an ode to her!…read more Dr. Pickering at East Bay Peds is a great choice for your pediatrician needs. And to add: We've seen a few other doctors from East Bay Peds right after our son was born due to the nature of newborn's doc schedules, and everyone has been so nice. They do have 1 or 2 doctors that do circumcisions (lots of info for ya, right there). Back to Dr. Pickering. She's funny, she's real laid back in the most professional kind of way, she's smart and easy to talk to as a parent. She takes time to answer all our questions, and makes sure to ask us questions. She's far from uptight or reserved and we really like that about her. She's fun! We def are first time parents and have 1000000 & 1 questions every time we see her. Half the time she laughs and tells us we're doing a great job and keep doing it and the other time she elaborates to us what really getting at: what should we be feeding our son? Is there anything we can be doing to make sure he develops the best way possible? Yada yada yada. They're pretty on time. We've never had any problem scheduling an appointment. There's a playground next door. It's a few blocks from Elmwood if we need lunch. They have a 24 hour hot-line with a nurse which I'm not gonna lie: we've called probably about 20x this first year: is his head flat, he has a splinter, why is his butt so red, etc... Overall, we're super happy with East Bay Peds. They are organized, professional, but also so warm and inviting. * I'd like to thank the heavens and stars that be that our son is healthy and we haven't had any issues; I can't tell you how they deal with that or emergencies.

We took our daughter to Dr. Saldivar in Menlo Park while we were living in Ca for a year, and have…read morethe highest regard for her. She is experienced, kind, caring, and thorough. My baby never grew anxious near her. My husband and I both work in medicine and feel very secure having had her care for our daughter. There would be a wait before she made it to our exam room (perhaps longest was 15 min), but that isn't necessarily a doctor's or facility's fault, especially if earlier patients run late.

Dr. Saldivar is a delight. Calm, reassuring, funny and thorough, she has made the whole process of…read morenavigating my son's care an easy one. As she is part of a larger practice, Primary Pediatrics, you do get to see other team members when you drop-in (or, in my case, when Dr. Saldivar was out of town) and they, too, are wonderful. When my son needed to see a specialist, they arranged the visit and then followed up afterwards to make sure that everything was okay. Now, if only I could find an adult practice that I liked as much....

The new facility is huge, and they have such a wide variety of brand-new equipment that my child is actually excited to go. The environment itself is so engaging that the therapy sessions seem much more effective. Ms. Debbie is also wonderful--she's so patient and has such a natural way with kids. If you're looking for a great OT spot, I'd definitely recommend checking out this new location.

I appreciated that she gave me the option not to do blood work, not only because she thought I was dehydrated but also saved me time and money. Plus, I have a low pain tolerance and avoid getting blood work unless I need it. Instead, she prescribed Zantac and it worked amazingly! Though I've only seen her once, her honesty, caring bedside manner and ability to listen to her patients are reasons i would recommend her and not hesitate to see her again if needed.

Dr. Usem is a nice and personable guy and does a good job of answering questions. However I noticed…read morethat he didn't wash his hands upon entering the room or put on gloves and it bothered me a little but didn't say anything. Halfway through the visit, my 2 month old began crying. To quiet him, Dr. Usem put his ungloved, unwashed hand inside my baby's mouth to quiet him. I was shocked and horrified but at that point it was too late to say anything because it had already been done. Fortunately my pandemic baby didn't get sick or anything but it made me as a parent sick to my stomach. This happened last year in early 2020 and I was meaning to write this sooner to warn other pandemic parents but it kept slipping my mind. I hope that they have upped their sanitation and PPE requirements with all that is going on with COVID. I never came back to this office after that.

We have been being cared for by Howard for almost 20 years now.  I don't think I will ever be able…read moreto fully express my gratitude for being matched with Howard.  His calm, chill, confident, straightforward yet caring demeanor has been so well received by my son over the years.   At an early age, he started talking directly to my son versus to us as the parents.   This allowed our son to start taking control of his journey with heart disease.   His expertise in his field has been instrumental in guiding our decisions over the years. He was present during our son's surgeries and was a strong advocate for him.  He has a way about him that is calming to all of us.  When our son was in a bad mental space preceding his 2nd surgery, it was Howard who spent an hour with him, was able to get through to him and got him ready to face what was ahead.  He was a lifesaver.   Howard has always been available to us for anything.  Even now when we have been transferred to adult cardiology,  Howard has been with us through the transition.  He has continued to spend time with our son in order to help guide his next decisions.  Howard is a special man.  He has so much experience and knowledge.  He listens and truly cares. And he's a cool cat to boot!  If there were 10 stars to give, I'd give them all in a heartbeat (pun intended).
