As first-time parents to a now 9-month old, my husband and I knew we'd have lots of questions and…read moreanxiety about our little one's development and health once he arrived. While pregnant, we'd had a few introductory conversations with the different pediatricians we'd been considering for our son. Though all seemed good, we just got a special feeling about Dr. Rosenberg. We are so thankful to have found her! Dr. Rosenberg has that special blend of clinical approach and great bedside manner that I find to be more and more rare these days. She always makes us feel at ease despite her busy schedule, and gives us straighforward and clear answers. She often talks to us about recent medical findings and other developments when we ask about something, and we've never been disappointed or frustrated after asking a question. She seems as concerned with our son's development as she is with his health, so we get a broad picture of his wellness each time we see her. Also, each of the specialists we've seen to-date have been very impressed at the just-right timing of her intervention to escalate our issues appropriately. They always seem to know her name and comment on how good of a doctor they think she is. For me, that kind of reputation speaks volumes. As new parents, those first few days/weeks were nerve-racking! We had to call the after-hours clinic a **couple** of times (okay, lots), and each time, we'd get a call the next day from Dr. Rosenberg to check on us. She's even called more than once in a day if she missed us. Even calls to the nurse advice line got us follow-ups from Dr. Rosenberg herself. I was so impressed, not to mention relieved to feel that we had someone looking out for us...doing this with us. It made such a big difference to our confidence and stress levels just when we needed it. Dr. Rosenberg really gets patient care, and that really shines through. We have a tremendous amount of confidence in her medical knowledge, and our check-ins are always a worthwhile experience. I will say that more recently, I believe she's had to take on a bit more of a load due to some (temporary??) shifts in doctor staffing at her practice. This has resulted in a bit less availability at the Marin office (which is where we mainly see her), and also a little bit of a drop-off in her ability to give us those much-loved follow-up calls. However, she's told us to let her know our feedback, because her aim is to know how her patients are dealing with these changes, and improve wherever possible. I really appreciate that! Feedback: Bring Dr. Rosenberg back to Marin on Fridays!!! I hesitate to attract more patients to her (we'd love her to ourselves!), but I have to say that any new (or not new) parent to a precious child would be lucky to have her in their corner.

I find her depth of knowledge incredible and she has always followed up with us and genuinely cares for my boys. The only reason this is 4 stars and not 5 is because she is now only in the Mill Valley office one Friday per month. This is making it very difficult for me to get an appointment but the truth is I will make it work in order to see her.

The level of care that they provide is next level. You can tell that everyone at their office truly cares about the health and well-being of your children above anything else. When our kids are sick over the weekend or after hours, they always have someone on call to guide us on what to do.

The worst pediatric office that ever was…read more Sadly, we were transferred to this office when my children's pediatrician had to retire early for health reasons. I wish i had jumped ship from the get go, but I was lazy and kept going back for years of punishment. Staff is rude and incompetent. They treat parents like the enemy. They also charge extra for everything - flu shot visits, camp forms, immunization records, you name it. And they are not nice at all. I'm very confused why they would choose to work in a pediatrician's office when they don't like people. There is one nice nurse, but that's it. Dr. Ornstein is a horrible pediatrician and an arrogant know it all. Because she is a doctor and a mom herself, she will tell you she knows more than you. She told me on more than one occasion how good of a doctor she is - who does that? She is not a good listener and she is driven by her own personal agenda rather than the child's needs. Every time I went into that office, she overtly checked me out up and down multiple times. This is probably why she isn't listening - she is too distracted by her own insecurities. The amount of confrontational interactions I had with her over the years are too many to count! She refused to give my child a COVID test back when over the counter tests were not yet available. Anytime I made an appointment (other than a well visit), she acted defensive from the get go. She also reneged on taking over a medication prescription from another MD because she "didn't like the way I demanded an appointment with her." Literally, her words. This is because I called on a Monday and politely asked if we could do the appointment after school hours (because I have a high schooler who should not miss school and was already having struggles about going to school) so they gave me an appointment on that Thursday afternoon that I ended up having to pull my child out of school for = compromise? Again, they treat parents like the enemy. Even my children dislike her! Don't take your kids here. Listen to these horrible reviews. They are all true. It's hard enough being a parent and you don't need a bunch of a-holes in your children's doctor's office to make your life harder. We have seen other lovely doctors since leaving this miserable practice and my children can't believe the stark contrast in care!

I requested release of medical records from 6 different doctors for myself and my son. MPA were the only ones who charged for the release of records ($35). Not only that, after they billed my card, they called and left a message asking me to pick up the records since they claimed the records tend to get lost at Kaiser. I went to pick up the records and was handed 12 sheets! I paid almost $3 to MPA for their bad photocopying services. Maybe their docs are good - I don't know. However the front-office is scum, and is only interested in making a quick buck at the expense of children and their medical records. They should be ashamed of themselves.

She exudes a wonderful calming effect on even the most hypochondriac / overly anxious / severely sleep-deprived new parents (read: me). She is always very gentle (even her voice is soothing) and I appreciate how quickly she follows up on my many emails and phone calls. We had a very rough delivery and first couple days in the hospital and I appreciated how she visited multiple times and then called to check up on my physical and emotional state after I got home. Dr Sanda came highly recommended by my (also much loved) OB-GYN Dr LaFollette. My OB actually gave me 3 referrals for Marin local pediatricians (all small practices run primarily by women doctors) but she correctly guessed I would really like Magnolia Pediatrics. I did informational phone interviews with all 3 offices and narrowed it down to 2 offices to scheduled in-person meetings. Dr Sanda was the first doctor my husband and I met in person and we didn't need to look any further. She was very thorough in answering all our questions about their evidence-based holistic medical approach, vaccines, development, sleep, circumcision, diet etc If you prefer small, intimate practices focused on evidence-based medicine like myself-- Magnolia Pediatrics is definitely the place for you. It is run by 3 women doctors and while I have not met the other two Dr Christie and Dr Kerl, I have heard nothing but great things about them from my doctors, Yelp and close friends who followed Dr Kerl from Prima Medical. Due to that, I feel comfortable seeing any of the other partners if for some reason Dr Sanda is not available. The reception and nursing staff are also all sweet, lovely and efficient -- especially when it comes to giving shots to our crying baby. The office has two separate waiting rooms for healthy and sick patients which is much appreciated, as well as a very comfortable nursing room. Parking is easy and location off the 101 is super convenient! They also have embraced patient tech like myChart so you can message your doctor, pay bills online, check health info and lab results and manage appointments. Lastly, unlike many other medical offices I have dealt with, I have not had any billing fiascos -- it's all been very smooth so far thankfully!!

(daugher was born in January 2005) She is not only an expert pediatrician and extremely knowledgeable, she also has a warm and gentle way about her that quickly comforts frightened little ones. Basically, she's everything you'd want in a doctor for your children. Both my kids *freak out* in doctor's/dentist's offices, but Dr. Goldstein is a pro at "reading" children and knowing just how to put them at ease....and that puts me at ease too! Also, she's wonderful with first-time parents. When we had our first baby, we were clueless and extreeeeemely nervous about every little grunt, burp, and squeal. She was wonderful at assuaging all our fears and educating us on our baby's healthcare. She NEVER rushes you out the door and always has time to answer all our questions patiently and thoroughly. When my kids are sick and we need an immediate appointment, we always ask for Dr. Goldstein, but my understanding is she's currently on a reduced schedule. So note that it might be hard to get an appointment with her on short notice. But all the other doctors in her practice are excellent too, particularly Drs. Gin, Johnson, and Pepitone. All are very kind and knowledgeable people!
