Health

Finding doctors and other health professionals is an extremely important task. We've had some great experiences with the people and institutions listed below.

Hospitals and Doctor's Offices

UCSF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL - This is where we had our baby, and there couldn't have been a better place for us to go. Great ICN and labor/delivery area (the birthing rooms have great views of the city) and really good clinic and specialists across the street for checkups and ongoing medcal treatment.

CALIFORNIA PACIFIC MEDICAL CENTER - Another excellent hospital, many of our friends have given birth there and still go for pediatric medical care.

STANFORD CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL - Another great hospital in the area, excellent staff and specialists.

ABC PEDIATRICS - This is where we take our son for check ups. Located in downtown San Mateo, the doctors there are knowledgable, kind and helpful. We've used Drs. Chapman, Soong and Chow and all of them are excellent.

AFTER HOURS PEDIATRICS - This office is in downtown San Mateo and handles medical issues until 10:00 pm.

PALO ALTO MEDICAL FOUNDATION - We've only heard good things about this ugent care office in Palo Alto.
