My kids are teenagers now, but have had Dr. Greg Cohen
for the past 11 years or more. He is Med Clinic on
coyle ave, in front of Mercy San Juan hospital. His phone
# is ###-###-####. We think he is a great doctor, and he is
very personable with the parents as well. Good Luck, and
happy babying!!!

Hi,
If you are in the north part of town, Sean Nealon just moved up to Natomas and he is awesome. In the south, Emily Scott is great too. They are great doctors that show concern.

I L. my pediatrician! His name is Greg Cohen and he's by Mercy San Juan. Another highly recommended one is Matthew Cohan. Both were recommended to me by my husband's uncle who happens to head the trauma center at Mercy San Juan. He's a terrific doctor and has been in the medical field here in Sacramento a long time.
Good luck and congrats!

Dr. Richard Gould or really any of the Pediatricians at the Pediactric Medical Associates (PMA). He came highly recommended to me by my OB. The office is a very busy one, but I've never had any complaints. They get you in quickly, have waiting areas for sick and well children to keep them seperate, have an advice nurse, and make every accomodation for same day appts when you need it. From the assistants to the nurse practioners and drs there I was very happy to find him. Theyre located on University Ave. They also have a location in Folsom. Good Luck And Congratulations!

Not sure where you are located but I go to Dr. Saied and Dr. Pullen in Elk Grove. They are fabulous. I went to Dr. Saied when I was a kid and now my little one goes to him...I interviewed Dr. Pullen as I knew how Dr. Saied was, but wanted to know her. I LOVE her, she answered all my questions without me even having to ask. I am with Sutter Medical Group and they take Sutter Independent Physicians...Interviewing with Sutter is $35 per Dr...But to interview with Dr. Saied and Dr. Pullen, it is free.

I love our pediatrician Dr. Hyman with Sutter pediatrics Sacramento. She always takes a lot of time with my children. Especially with the newborns. They always get us in if my kids are sick the same day for appointments and the nurses and staff are always so nice. I am a nurse so I am pretty hard to please as far as finding good doctors

Hi,

My name is K. and I am a mother of a 6 year old boy and an 18 month old boy. Their pediatrician is Dr. Laura Emge at the downtown Mercy/MedClinic on Folsom Blvd. She ROCKS!
Not does she do the requisite "doctor" functions, she takes the time to discuss issues and concerns, provides her own advice (as she is the mother of 2 herself) and stays apprised of current advances in pediatric medicine (including natural alternatives). She is the best doctor we have ever had.
Good luck!

I have had Dr Leanne Wong as pediatritian for my kids since 1999. We love her. She has such a gental manner & that really helps if your kids are fearful of shots & such. She is at Sutter Pediatrics on Douglas Blvd in Roseville.
Good luck & congrats!

Hi -- I love my daughter's pediatrician -- Dr Emily Scott. She is with the Mercy Medical Group in Elk Grove (Laguna Blvd). She has three young kids of her own (I think all under 5) so she can relate to new Mommies and our concerns. She is also a great listener. Good luck!

If you are with Kaiser, Dr. Jordan is awesome! He is at Kaiser South. I have several friends who use him as well and everyone loves him. He never seems to be in a hurry and takes his time to really listen and find out not only how your child is, but how the whole family is.

I'm not sure where you live, but Pediatric Medical Associates is wonderful! They have two locations - one at 425 University Ave. in Sacramento, and the other on Creekside in Folsom. I love Dr. Lloren, but he is not to everyone's taste. My son had RSV as a baby, so I have seen pretty much everyone in the practice and there is not a doctor there that I would not recommend. Dr. Gould is a good choice for the Sacramento office.
