They refer you to the BEST specialists. ~ Dr. Dab has referred us to the best ENT Dr. Dylan Chan @ UCSF when our son suffered severe sleep apnea, where he stopped breathing. Now he's cured, no more snoring, sleeps a little too well & grew into a giant teenager. Thank you Dr. Dab for convincing me to go through with the surgery, as I was freaking out, and for your compassion & genuine observation(s). Our son might be able to find a wife later on in life LOL! My daughters also appreciate your prompt responses being 3000 miles away in college on the East Coast. One of them wants to become a doctor :) ~ Dr. Pepitone and her networking has referred us to the best Pediatric Ortho surgeon Dr. Mohammad Diab @ UCSF when he suffered a serious spinal infection aka Osteomyelitis. After IV antibiotics at the hospital, he's on the road to recovery; no surgery required! Thank you Dr. Pepitone for catching all the signs and expediting our visit with Dr. Diab, as we know how busy he is. To be put on his priority list and waste no more time, it was all Dr. Pepitone's connections! ~ Dr. Johnson another OG doctor in the house for always being concerned about our kids' well-being. I hope he never retires, but that's kinda selfish. ~ Dr. Meier, ummm no comment to her suggestion of meditation for our son's pain management. ~ Front office staff, the ladies are always so helpful, especially dealing with all the parents and the bugaboo moms. Juana is amazing, and her name should be "Reina", as she is the Queen of this place, and that's what I named my firstborn. ~ Last but not least, we miss you Dr. Crosby, hope you're enjoying retirement! I'd be on the beach with a Mai Tai in hand, cheers! 'Til we meet again ~ stay healthy cuz it's very expensive to be sick & see you on Yelp (SYOY)! P.S. Their doctors work out of both locations SF & Marin, extremely convenient.

The worst pediatric office that ever was…read more Sadly, we were transferred to this office when my children's pediatrician had to retire early for health reasons. I wish i had jumped ship from the get go, but I was lazy and kept going back for years of punishment. Staff is rude and incompetent. They treat parents like the enemy. They also charge extra for everything - flu shot visits, camp forms, immunization records, you name it. And they are not nice at all. I'm very confused why they would choose to work in a pediatrician's office when they don't like people. There is one nice nurse, but that's it. Dr. Ornstein is a horrible pediatrician and an arrogant know it all. Because she is a doctor and a mom herself, she will tell you she knows more than you. She told me on more than one occasion how good of a doctor she is - who does that? She is not a good listener and she is driven by her own personal agenda rather than the child's needs. Every time I went into that office, she overtly checked me out up and down multiple times. This is probably why she isn't listening - she is too distracted by her own insecurities. The amount of confrontational interactions I had with her over the years are too many to count! She refused to give my child a COVID test back when over the counter tests were not yet available. Anytime I made an appointment (other than a well visit), she acted defensive from the get go. She also reneged on taking over a medication prescription from another MD because she "didn't like the way I demanded an appointment with her." Literally, her words. This is because I called on a Monday and politely asked if we could do the appointment after school hours (because I have a high schooler who should not miss school and was already having struggles about going to school) so they gave me an appointment on that Thursday afternoon that I ended up having to pull my child out of school for = compromise? Again, they treat parents like the enemy. Even my children dislike her! Don't take your kids here. Listen to these horrible reviews. They are all true. It's hard enough being a parent and you don't need a bunch of a-holes in your children's doctor's office to make your life harder. We have seen other lovely doctors since leaving this miserable practice and my children can't believe the stark contrast in care!

I would give them 0 stars if Yelp allowed it…read more My 10 year old's doctor retired at the end of 2016 and MPA took over his medical records. Beginning of 2017 my son and I both joined Kaiser. I requested release of medical records from 6 different doctors for myself and my son. MPA were the only ones who charged for the release of records ($35). Not only that, after they billed my card, they called and left a message asking me to pick up the records since they claimed the records tend to get lost at Kaiser. I went to pick up the records and was handed 12 sheets! I paid almost $3 to MPA for their bad photocopying services. Maybe their docs are good - I don't know. However the front-office is scum, and is only interested in making a quick buck at the expense of children and their medical records. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Bill Gonda is wonderful, and my experience with GG Pediatrics has been nothing but superb…read more I'm a doctor myself, and had a kid last February. The day after he was born, a pediatrician from GG pediatrics came into our room, introduced herself (Dr. Dana) and told us she'd checked up on Max. She was wonderful. The next day, the rounding physician did the same thing. We were discharged from CPMC with a somewhat yellow baby, and told to get a bilirubin lab the next day, to make sure the newborn jaundice wasn't dangerous. So of course, I go home, there's tons of relatives there, we're all having fun, and I didn't feel like getting the lab drawn the next day. Come on, I'm a physician, right? Well, Bill Gonda called me back personally, and told me to get my butt into the lab and get the test. Sure enough, the bilirubin was ...bad. So of course, then we got bilirubin lights delivered to our house in the middle of the night, we got more labs, things got a little worse, we ended up in the NICU, with our precious brand new baby under the lights, and we got through it. All through this, (weekends were involved), we had the support and personal phone calls from a number of pediatricians in the group (Mary Piel is phenomenal, too, incidentally), not to mention personal phone calls from Dr. Gonda checking up on my kid (NICU nurses saying, "oh, Dr. Gonda just called in," or "Dr. Gonda wants you to spend the night." ) He was always checking on Max, even when we probably didn't even know it. And here's the thing: he wasn't even on call that weekend!!! He doesn't get paid extra for any of this crap, and remember, this whole thing probably happened because I didn't feel like listening to him in the first place! Now that's great doctoring... Another reviewer said a lot of nasty things about the office, incidentally, and we totally disagree. It's a bustling, happy place, and we have never been seen more than 10 minutes after our appointment time. We get a lot of personal time with Dr. G, and we love the smiling and happy staff. The walls are bright pink! What's not to love?? It's a great place, and quite honestly, I think it's the premiere pediatric office in the city. Max is a lucky kid, to have such great doctors.

There is a Yelp entry for the practice, (http://www.yelp.com/biz/piel-patton-aicardi-and-gonda-mill-valley) and instead of adding her review there, she created a new one which reflects poorly on a consummate professional. Dr. William Gonda may be the single best pediatrician in the Bay Area. He has been our son and daughter's pediatrician since birth, and was highly recommended by virtually every parent that we asked prior. Dr. Gonda is a very smart doctor, with very good instincts. Our son has had Impetigo, Rubella, Roseola, a very serious Amoebic infection, and a massive poison oak allergy. Dr. Gonda has been calm, thoughtful, and helpful through these and the routine visits, and will often call to check in. He takes his diagnosis and treatment personally and makes you feel like your kids are as important to you as they are to him. If you can get Dr. Gonda, you are lucky.
