Pediatricians at One Medical
Does anyone have experience taking their child to the doctors at One Medical on University Ave? I see that they accept babies now and thinking about enrolling my daughter since I’ve always had a great experience as a patient in SF. Thank you!

Yes, we have seen Dr. Peter a number of times and have regularly done the urgent video call appointments- they pick up within like 5-10minutes of pressing that option! It has been a great option for us to have with all the illnesses kids get. They are so much easier to get an appointment with last minute than our Pediatrician at Sutter Health. Even before the Berkeley Office took kids I could always get a next day appointment when my kiddo is sick if I drove to San Ramon, Marin, etc. We don't use One Medical, however, for our ongoing wellness checks or for appointments for known ongoing issues that we can schedule far in advance. We have stuck with Sutter Health for those kinds of appointments since we can schedule them super far in advance and because we like our Pediatrician there, we just can't ever get in to see her. It's nice having both, though One Medical does always remind us "they are not an urgent care" and would prefer us to have them as their main Pediatrician so all records can be housed there, but this works for us.
We've taken both our kids to One Medical since they were born (6y and 2y) and have always been happy. There is, what I consider, a pretty high turnover rate. We're on our 4th PCP for my 6yo since he was born. I've never felt rushed or brushed off, it is easy enough to get appointments, and the app is easy to use. I would probably switch if I wasn't so lazy (finding another PCP, transferring records, etc) mostly be the fees for two kids each year is a little outrageous. (Wish they had family plans...) Also, if you are a member you can manage your kids account from your log in, but if you aren't you'll have a log in for each kid (if you have more than 1) and you'll have to log in and out of the app to access each account.
