I am wondering if anybody had experience with Dr. Acevedo or any other doctor from Bancroft Pediatrics in San Leandro . Thanks! Natalia

My son has been to the hospital, had surgeries, and innumerable other medical experiences, from shots to physicals. He likes going to the doctor, and has never developed the fear that seems common among his peers. I attribute this, in large part, to the kind and caring doctors of Bancroft Pediatric. Also, several nurses are often brusque, but the advice nurse, Lourdes, is worth far more than her weight in gold.

Re: Pediatrician in San Leandro/CV
We use Bancroft Pediatrics in San Leandro, near Bancroft and Estudillo Aves. We have had nothing but good experiences with them. There are seveeral doctors in the practice, so it is never a problem getting an appointment, and usually we are able to see the dr. of our choice. They have seperate waiting rooms for well and sick children, but we have never had to wait more than 5 minutes. The staff are all wonderful and willing to work with any special requests. They support breastfeeding, but are also supportive if you choose not to. They also supported my decision to delay immunizations for a while and to do single shots instead of combined shots when I was ready. The practice has Saturday and Monday morning drop in hours for children who get sick on the weekend. They take a variety of insurances and even worked with us when my son was born under my coverage (which they didn't accept) and was transfered at one month to my husband's insurance, which they did accept. They were able to bill retroactively and everything was covered. Although we have never been in for an illness, I can't reccomend them enough based on their preventative practices. rego
