She made time to see us, quickly assessed and resolved the issue, and handled everything with a high level of professionalism and expertise. What stood out most was her genuine kindness and ability to connect with our kids. She created a calm, reassuring environment that made them feel comfortable and at ease throughout the visit. At the same time, she was thoughtful and attentive to us as parents, ensuring we felt informed and supported every step of the way. Dr. Ashley clearly has her patients' best interests at heart. Her combination of clinical skill, responsiveness, and compassionate care makes her an outstanding pediatrician. We feel very fortunate to have her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to other families.

He was there at the hospital each morning after my son was born and has been so helpful through our first month of appointments.

I am genuinely skeptical of the motivation behind some of the bad reviews- although it can be difficult to get an appointment on short notice. I recommend taking those with a grain of salt. I have suggested Dr. Rush to friends with babies and would trust him unconditionally with my child!

Two key issues here: 1) we have never in 5 years of being…read morepatients here gotten a same day sick visit. Doesn't matter how early you call. They simply don't offer enough spaces when kids are sick like the winter. There clearly seems to be a way around the system to get booked in advance but that hasn't been offered to us. 2) our son had a severe reaction to a bee sting and their response was to schedule an appointment with an allergist for 3 months in advance. When we asked about how do we keep him safe in the meantime we were told to wait until the allergist appointment in 3 months. We asked a friend who is a pediatrician and they wrote us a prescription for an EpiPen on the spot. Why didn't Bayside? If you don't know how to advocate for yourself in the US healthcare system then don't come here. Your kid will get lost in the shuffle and they couldn't care less. I picked this place based on proximity and some decent reviews but I will not be doing that any longer.

Increasingly out of touch, too focused on social life and Warriors and training of new medical…read moreassistants. Delays and office wait are true from other reviews. It's a degrading situation. This is not the interpretation of a weary parent, this is also the assessment of a teen patient who was too respectful, polite and hopeful to call out the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the care offered when the patient knew something fresh was needed. Referral of services for other care was extremely ineffective and unhelpful, waste of time and our adult (parent) family primary care physician even told us the doctors, locations and services that were suggested by this office were the scariest and not good places or doctors. We learned the hard way that the referrals were stale, We spent a lot of time trusting the referrals and trying to find our solution. This was precious time lost while being bullied at school that the child could have used to make progress rather than struggle. Current era bullying is a topic not well understood by this office and this office is not equipped with finding the right fit for care. The Rx were only a benefit to Pharma and have scary side effects that were counseled to the parent as 'most kids' are on these meds these days, that's not a good basis to counsel a parent. You'd think a professional with decades of experience would have a better assessment of efficacy. An office like this with the cost of visits, which were also a billing focus and priority for the office, should have an excellent top tier network and fresh ideas, with cutting edge care referrals. At the prices charged (especially for a HDHP deductible situation), there's a lot more out there in the services field; a simple good therapist approach is best. My kid also did not have confidence and trust in the doctor or staff. Experienced professionals should recognize this and immediately tell parents and help them find another primary care provider where the kid is comfortable; instead of shielding their findings from the parent, regardless of patient age and confidentiality. We got a simple "I'd like to see the patient again in 2-4 weeks, can't quite figure out what the problem is ..". Chaching$$$$$ more visits. Suggest: Prioritize care and reduce poor referrals. Prioritize care over billing codes. For bullying that causes anxiety, develop better resources, help parents expose the problem, not hide it in confidentiality presumptions. Stop dragging out the recovery and stop the prescription of depression drugs that don't work, and only benefit big Pharma and are impacting a teen brain that is still developing way into an individual's early 20's. Also the documentation in the medical records was inconsistent and troubling enough that it was a last straw. Under the guise of confidentiality, things were blocked so only the office could see notes and appointments and the documentation and records were inconsistent. We were told patient and parents could not see the visit notes, appointment times, etc under the guise of confidentiality. This is not correct, we are allowed have access, at a minimum the teen should have access. We now know this because our visits with other providers in the last 8 months have the same legal standards and in the same network of children's Benioff/ Alta Bates/ and John Muir networks these recent office visits and documentation share much more than this office did, and we were told by this office that neither the kid nor parents could view it based on the software and rules of confidentiality. Obviously, by equal comparison with other providers, this issue is mismanaged by this office and their statements are not accurate Our expectations for our kid as the patient and as parents for records review were VALIDATED by these newer providers as reasonable and normal, legal. It makes me think this office didn't know how to use the online system or they were over-interpreting and over-applying some rule they misunderstood. The patient has a right to see the entire file and notes and it is important for their health record. Their peer providers prove this office's record management and teen confidentiality protocols as flawed. Professionals are supposed to lead, not create more problems. Regarding time, network resources, cost and ability to problem solve, and ensure better outcomes....... There's a lot of other options out there, God bless and good luck.

(Rooms and hallways were confusing but nurses walked us to right door.). 2) Each doctor and nurse took time to explain procedure and answer all our questions - from intake nurse, to anesthesiologist, to surgeon, to discharge nurse, 3) Got to be in operating room and hold my son's hand as they put in IV and prep him for surgery and they explained everything they did as they did it. 4) I left as he went under. 5) Nurse offered snack to parent in different waiting room, donated by another non-profit. 6) Surgeon sat down with me to explain results in detail (with color coded pics) and next steps. 7) At recovery room they were so patient and caring. He even got to keep a pillow, made by yet another non-profit. After discharge nurse called to follow up next day. I ONLY wish they had overnight capacity. I think they would get lot more patients if they were hospital with overnight care in case something did go wrong. For all low risk procedures I Highly recommend this facility.
