Apr 3, 2018Pediatricians in Sutter East Bay network?
–Jul 24, 2017(5 replies)Hi, we are due with our first child in the next two months, so are the hunt for a pediatrician. We currently use Sutter East Bay Medical Foundation for our OBGYN, so figured maybe it is best to stay within the network. Thus, I would love any recommendations. Also, it looks like there are some threads about Berkeley Pediatrics, so curious if there is much of a difference between the two practices.
Thanks for the help,
Andrea

–Mar 7, 2017(12 replies)Hi,
My family is moving to Berkeley (Elmwood) next week and would love recommendations for pediatricians. We're currently at UCSF in SF. They're affiliated with Berkeley Pediatrics, so if you have anything good or bad to say about them, please let me know.We have twin 1yo's and a 4 yo. We're a 2-mom family, so LGBTQ family-friendly is essential.
Thanks!

We ended up going with Genevieve Palmer in Walnut Creek even though we live in Berkeley. She was a personal recommendation from our ob/gyn at UCSF. She was very open to alternative therapies and a modified vaccine schedule.
We were unimpressed with East Bay Pediatrics. They might have the best docs in the world, but we’ll never know because we never got to interview them. The staff didn’t bother to return our six (!!) messages and we got conflicting info from two receptionists when we called.
We have really liked everyone we’ve seen at Bayside Pediatrics. Whenever I’ve brought up alternative treatments, they’ve been very open.
