“Dr Alcala is amazing. She's caring and great with out son. She always takes the time to answer questions and is extremely knowledgeable. They are also very responsive when you message via their app.“

“Dr. Ariel has magic in her hands! I started seeing Dr. Ariel in 2020 in the height of the pandemic while pregnant with our first ivf miracle baby. She took care of me throughout pregnancy, during which I’d walk into her office with all kinds of pain from my growing belly and my significant scoliosis and walk out literally free of pain with so much more mobility. I’ve gone to many other chiropractors over the years and there is NO ONE else like Dr. Ariel. She helped me prepare for birth and get baby in the optimal position. Most recently I’ve been seeing her after a late pregnancy loss and her work has been so healing physically but also emotionally. A few weeks ago my son woke up with raging ear pain and was screaming from pain all day until we walked into Dr. Ariel’s office. I left with a happy child free of ear pain and we even avoided antibiotics directly because of Dr. Ariel’s adjustments. She can really do it all. What a gift to be cared for and supported by her!!!“

“Traci is an incredible fertility acupuncturist - HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I started seeing Traci before an egg harvest cycle. She's now seen me through more than a year of care - with successful harvest, a healthy pregnancy, delivery and post-partum for our second child. Having worked with several fertility acupuncturists, Traci is truly in a league of her own.Competence. Traci has an expansive "toolkit" to address any issue or stage one might be in. As a former doula and midwife, she deeply understands the journey of pregnancy. She is also a mom, and can relate directly to experiences. Initially she worked with me to improve egg quality and quantity. She's helped improve my general health, and then a series of pregnancy complications. Most impressive has been her ability to keep my blood pressure low - to the astonishment of my doctors, and provide treatment around a breech baby (she's quite experienced in moxibustion). She's also helped me work through past medical trauma and create space to be an even better mom. She shares freely what she is doing and why, and compared to my past acupuncturists has a deeper knowledge and skill in delivering care. I was so grateful that she helped me go into labor naturally and avoid an induction. The results have been noticeable not only to me, but my husband and doctors. We need more Tracis in the world!Empathy and support. I joke that Traci is more than an acupuncturist - she's part therapist and part coach. She has a very gentle manner, and deeply listens and watches in each treatment and across treatments. She's provided so much insight and wisdom into the journey of being a working mom, and helped me find a higher sense of self through our work. In addition, she's in a practice of midwives and female physical therapists, so can make thoughtful recommendations on additional care.Relaxation. The office is an airy paradise...with light colored walls, welcoming receptionists, heated treatment tables, clean plants, and thoughtful music. It feels safe and relaxing, and parking is fairly easy on a nearby side street ($2 per hour).Ease. She has an easy online booking system, and I can usually get an appointment with 1-2 weeks advance notice. Traci has also squeezed me in countless times for an extra treatment - she always prioritizes taking care of her patients, even if it means taking extra time to let someone nap longer - or providing an extra treatment on the week of labor to help prepare. It's been seamless at every turn, and easy to communicate.She's been such a critical part of expanding our family, and bringing greater health, purpose, presence and well-being. I wish that every mom could experience the support and impact Traci offers - it's truly special.“

“Dr Neishi is a man of few words but he was professional ,Polite and straight forward. The staff was warm and friendly. I would recommend this doctor if you need a eye exam glasses.“

“Cute open space! Superb friendly staff and they give you water and cute masks ? for covid! Efficient and wonderful. The waiting area even has kids movie to keep you entertained“

“She is the best I ever had/seen she takes her time with her people she the best at what she does and she cares about you“

“I honestly cannot understand the bad reviews of this office. We are first time parents and both the office staff and the doctors have been incredible. Dr. Gerwein is our son's primary but we were also seen by Dr. Brinkley when she was rounding at the hospital. Both doctors are incredibly knowledgeable and responsive to even the slightest concern. We have never had any trouble getting an appt., even a couple last minute ones, and, to top it all off, their office has an INCREDIBLE lactation consultant, Amrit Khalsa (48 years of experience, including as a midwife) and they moved heaven and earth to make sure we were seen by her when we were struggling with breastfeeding. And she is covered by our insurance with only a $37 copay! Kudos to this practice for providing access to 360 degree, holistic care (they are only 1 of 3 practices in all of the East Bay that employ a lactation consultant). We feel so lucky we found this team!“

“We've been at EBP since we moved to the east bay from the city 13 years ago and have had a great experience there. Started with Dr. Charles-Mo and loved her. Since she retired, we've been with Dr. Handelsman, who has been awesome. All the doctors we've seen have been nice, attentive, and responsive to medical needs, even to more urgent ones.“

“We love this practice and Dr. Farlow! Dr. Farlow goes above and beyond to help us navigate being new parents. She helps us understand our options, benefits and any risks, and her recommendations. We like that she integrates well studied, new research findings into her advice. The support staff is kind, excellent and efficient. Highly recommend this practice and while we haven't seen another doctor yet, we've heard of many others that are happy with every doctor in the practice.“

“DR. CELESTE ALLEN is God's Angel! Truly & honestly. My kids have been seeing Dr. Allen for over 10+ years. She is attentive, caring, and truly an amazing person. They started seeing Dr. Allen when we lived in Oakland. We moved to Hercules & then Pittsburg and I still drive 30-45 minutes so they can see her. She is that good. My oldest daughter is now 23 and still sees Dr. Allen. She dreads turning 25 because she will not be able to continue as her patient. I have been holding off on writing this review because I really didn't want to share Dr. Allen but I'm realizing that others need her as well. DR. CELESTE ALLEN IS THE BEST!“

“My kids have been with Kiwi almost their entire lives and they both love it. The entire team is amazing and always puts my children, as well as myself, at ease when they aren't feeling well and need a checkup. The doctors are consistently attentive and helpful. Our family is grateful for the outstanding care provided. I would recommend their practice to anyone.“

“I am afraid of doctors, so finding a pediatrician for my kids (elementary-school age and newborn) was an exceptionally daunting task. I could not be happier with the care they receive from Berkeley Pediatrics. Every staff member is an extremely competent, huge hearted person that goes above and beyond for their patients. Special shoutout to Dr. AnneMarie Franks, whose gentle humor and wealth of knowledge make her nothing short of a hero in my eyes. Every time one of my kids are sick, they are seen right away and shown a ton of compassion. I'm sure I come off as cold or rude at times due to my fears, and my family still receives nothing but respect and empathy in return. I am extremely grateful to have found them. Berkeley Pediatrics is top-notch!“

“I’ve been taking my kids to Dr. Franks for the past 9 years since the birth of my first child. She is very thorough, friendly and experienced. Not only she cares about my kids but also care about the whole family well being. My kids love her so much.“

“I have had horrible experiences with multiple doctors in multiple cities since being a mother. We have been coming here for two years and everyone is always AMAZING. it's no words to express how grateful I am to this hospital but I will try to. :) I really appreciate that everyone in this hospital treats you like they actually love their job. No one is in a rush and everyone listens to whatever you have to say. They treat you like you matter and child does. They never treat me less than or as if I don't know what I'm talking about like a lot of doctors do. I've experienced multiple doctors from here and everyone is fantastic. Dr Chesser has always been very helpful and I'm beyond thankful to her. I've had multiple experiences with Nurse Kristen and she has went above and beyond. She always makes us feel comfortable and less stressed in the hospital. They awful excellent care and you can trust that your child will always get the best care. Thank you to the whole endocrinology department and the whole hospital.“

“I want to say thank you sooooo much to Julio!!!!! He was the best.He made my time there on the 3rd floor in urgent care so present. He even helped me down to the lab.Had to write this review i haven't even left the building yet.“

“I've been here twice now, and I'm overall quite impressed with the service. Let's be clear: ERs are generally a terrible place to be, but I feel like the staff cares and they operate with a lot of calm and professionalism.My only critique: I wish the waiting room had more protections against germ swapping. I don't know what that would be.The staff person who's dedicated to making your child a little more comfortable: That's actually a great service! Thank you team.“
