She took the time in every visit to talk through everything and made us feel comfortable and empowered to take on our new reality. She was warm, kind, never rushed through the appointment, incredibly knowledgeable, always quickly responded to our emails, gave us awesome referrals, and was just an all around great Dr. As an example, early on, I was having a very hard time with breastfeeding - she let me nurse my baby in her office so that she could observe and provide guidance and advice. This, in my opinion, goes above and beyond regular pediatric dr appointment procedures. Dr. Meier is a Mom herself, she is an incredibly emphatic person and wise pediatrician.

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.

I've spent years at this group in Mill Valley and I can no longer stay quiet about it. Dr. Dana…read moredoes not seem to care about the child right in front her. It's box check, box check, get out quickly, on to the next cattle call. We are not an overly sensitive family, nor are we helicopter parents. But, we always dreaded these visits for their brusque transactional experience and because we couldn't trust she was paying any attention. Our last visit she gave 2 of our 3 kids a typhoid shot because we were traveling WITHOUT consulting us as parents - one of our kids is 18, so it is his choice but he would have liked to ask us. The other is 16, which requires parental approval. And why not give it to our 3rd child if it was so threatening??? They did happily send us the full bill for it as it is not covered by insurance, even though they told us it was. We brought up an issue in our daughter's health and the next thing we knew we had been referred out to a neuro. But there was never a conversation about the referral with the doctor. Dr. Dana NEVER called us to inform us we would be contacted by Stanford. We overheard a young mother with her first baby explaining to the staff that she was uncomfortable giving a third COVID booster to her baby, because the studies are inconclusive on the risks. The person in the front office treated this woman like she was on crack - OF COURSE you should give the third booster to your child. It was a gross overstep. Any parent deserves understanding that get to make different choices I cannot recommend this practice. It just feels like a cattle call with a doctor and staff who stopped caring long ago.

Every pediatrician we have seen in the practice is extraordinary, from their education to their experience, to their bedside manner, to how they interact with young children and their parents. The front office staff is thorough and efficient, we never had to wait more than a few min to be seen. We have always been accommodated day of for sick day visits and our doctor immediately follows up if we had to go to urgent care when they were not available. We are so grateful for how quickly and adeptly they developed their guidance and vaccine clinic during Covid. Having to go see another practice was one of the hardest things about leaving SF!

This should tell you everything you need to know about her as an all-star provider.

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.

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!

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!
