Castro Valley Pediatrics has many wonderful peds in their group. I have an awesome Gyno if you need one. Dr. McGlynn in S.L.
Jane Y. replied:
we use Kaiser in Oakland -- our pediatrician, Dr. Susan Goddard, is AWESOME! and my Gyno at Kaiser (Dr. Lisa Sherman) is awesome, too! Keith really likes his PCP at Kaiser -- I'll ask him for her name and get back to you.
Allison F. replied:
Primary Pediatric they have an office by Summit in Oakland, one in Alameda and one in Castro Valley. Love Dr. Ballistrari! Just ask Ricky and he'll tell you all about her:) Elizabeth Scheluning is my OBGYN she's great, going to drive all the way from Pleasanton to Alta Bates in Berkeley just to deliver because of her! Pray there is no traffic.
Steve C. replied:
We also use Primary Pediatrics (Alameda) and have loved our experience. On the PCP side, we have terrible luck and are looking for a new doctor as well (although Sharon has a great gyno).

Any Kaiser pediatrician recommendations in Oakland?
Rosa M. replied:
Our whole family sees Dr. Lederman in the family medicine clinic on Howe St. We love her!
Melissa D. replied:
Dr. Goddard is great - Stephen and Jenna use her too (they recommended her to us). Not always great on time and schedule, but is bc she spends time with kids. Couldn't recommend her more.
Jenna S. replied:
I second Melissa Barnes Dholakia - Dr. Goddard is high quality. She's a great generalist which I love. She listens intently to my concerns.
Melissa D. replied:
Also, Dr. Goddard is VERY about having kids understand what she is doing. It's like a pre-med class with every visit. And, she is very attuned with pre-teens.
Evan B. replied:
Dr. Spiller is who we use. She's relatively young. Is a very. Nice person. Doesn't seem rushed. Hilary is a huge fan.
Kate B. replied:
We've really liked Dr. Tenney. She is always very present when she is with you and has a soothing demeanor. Lots of experience and 4 kids of her own.
