We've been with Dr. Maria for nine years and have three kiddos under her care. Every experience we've had with her has been supportive and thoughtful. Dr. Maria is unlike any other pediatrician. She gives out her personal phone number, and you can contact her at any time. This is especially important when you have a baby you're worried about in the middle of the night. Her availability has saved us from unnecessary ER visits many times! She also makes house calls for the first few newborn visits, which is such a gift in those early months of parenthood. She's exactly the person you want in your corner as a new mom. Her office is welcoming, kid-focused, and warm. A special touch we love is her well-trained dog who joins visits--this has made vaccines so much easier for our kids! I cannot recommend Dr. Maria enough. I refer her to all my friends and will continue to do so. You will not be disappointed with the care you receive at her office!

Dr. Ashley is very friendly and she took her time with the markings and made sure everyone was satisfied with it. The actual piercing itself was so quick and she got the position exactly as marked!

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.

I'm surprised by reviews on how unresponsive they are. The front desk has always been extremely…read moreresponsive in my experience. But also - the most important thing is the doctor. Dr. Maria Steelman is not only extremely knowledgeable, but she does home visits for the first 2 months of the newborn's life! That's insane! She also is super easy to reach by text. You can basically text her at any hour of the day (even in the middle of the night which is important for mothers) and get a response (!). She says she sleeps with the phone next to her head so she can respond. She really cares and it shows. I have never been so satisfied with the selection of a doctor before. I used to be a former patient and now it's great having her be the pediatrician to my son.

We had to switch to Kaiser for a brief period and I couldn't get back to Dr. Benway fast enough. Being a first time mom, I have a lot of questions and Dr. Benway makes herself available. She always returns phone calls and never makes me feel silly for asking. The staff of young ladies really know their stuff and they make vaccination appointments bearable. They are so fast that by the time my daughter realizes she has had one poke, they are already done with all 4. I would recommend Dr. Benway to anyone who is looking for a great pediatrician.

When our daughter, Ari Marie, was born a bit premature, we needed immediate medical care for our daughter and immediate medical guidance for us. Dr. Hoang and Dr. Nam provided both. They examined Ari, answered all of our questions, and showed the medical knowledge and sincere care that you'd hope for from a doctor. If you're in the Bay Area and your child needs medical care, I would definitely turn to Walnut Creek Pediatrics. My wife and I are glad we did.

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.

My mom brought my son for an appointment that they had rescheduled and they treated her like she was less than human, all three front office staff. The call I received was disturbing, "We have a woman here with a child who claims he has an appointment..." The medical staff are nice, but to get to them you have to go through this front office staff. No thanks. Just why? It's so much easier to be kind.

Wait time for a new patient 2 months (ridiculous) but I waited patiently. All to have a phone call 1 hour before my appt refusing to be seen because my medical records have not arrived yet from my previous doctor. I don't work in the medical industry. If I've asked multiple times I'd think the office would try a little harder to accommodate their patients and request them theirselves (which they would not do) so here I am 8 months pregnant in a new area with no doctor after waiting 2 months to be seen, having to completely start over. What a waste of time.
