Pediatricians with Weekend Hours
Feb 2007
Hi,
My babies (one is 2 years old, another is 4 month) on some mysterious reason almost always get
sick on weekends. Going to ER is not very pleasant and pricy. Can anybody recommend good
pediatrician with weekend hours? I know, it's too much to ask, but if the doctor also is
flexible about vaccinations, that will be just great. We leave at Emeryville, so nearby cities
(Oakland, Berkeley) will be best.
Thanks!

Bayside Medical
in Oakland has Saturday ''sick child'' hours, both by appt. and
drop-in. We have always been able to bring our baby/toddler there when we needed it.
We see Dr. Janet Perlman, who is very flexible about vaccinations, and has worked
with us to space them out. Also, their office uses all mercury-free vaccines. We
have seen all the doctors in their practice, and they are all good. Ellen
East Bay pediatrics
has sick baby office hours on Saturday. Patients are seen on a
drop in basis, first come first served and
visits are billed as sick baby office visits. The practice is
large and their phone system is very aggravating to navigate, but
I have been very happy with the care all 4 of my children have
received in the office, and their primary doctors have always
been prompt in calling me back once I have navigated that phone
system to reach their individual voice mail boxes. They have
offices in Berkeley and Orinda, but their main phone goes to
Orinda, so do not be confused by the 925 area code. (925) 438-1100 Elizabeth Lee,

Can anyone recommend a pediatrician or Family Practitioner in Berkeley or
Oakland that has Saturday hours? We have a pediatrician we have been using
for several years, but are very unhappy with the emergency/urgent care response
on the weekend.

We take our 18 month old son to Dr. Peter Candell at Alameda Family
Physicians.
I don't know if it's made it to the web site yet, but much has been written
about Dr. Jeff Gill in Moraga, an easy trip through the tunnel and well worth
it. He has Saturday hours.
