We see Dr. Tenney in Oakland (Broadway Pediatric Center) and love her. I have several friends that go to her as well. Not sure about her experience with allergies and dietary restrictions.
There isn't a Kaiser in Berkeley, and I don't know much about the Alameda Kaiser, but you really can't go wrong with an Oakland Kaiser pediatrician. Go on the Kaiser website and sign up for one of the pediatricians that has openings. If you don't like the one you picked, it's easy to change. I have many years of experience at Kaiser Oakland with three kids, and have seen dozens of pediatricians. I have yet to meet with one that wasn't kind, informative, and helpful. Kaiser doctors are very proactive about referring to specialists, and will usually make the appointment for you while you're sitting in the office. Also I have also found them to be proactive about peer consulting with other pediatricians if they come across an issue they haven't themselves seen. That's the great thing about Kaiser - there is a big pool of expertise on site that each doctor can draw on. So, don't worry about finding a pediatrician who has experience with a very specific medical issue. You will be in good hands.
I just wanted to echo the comment about the quality of pediatricians at Kaiser Oakland. We've interacted with a few at this point, and they've all been excellent. Not only that, but every other parent I've talked to who also go to Kaiser have said the same thing.
