Seeking Pediatrician in Folsom Area

I want to recommend Dr. Hepworth (River Rock Pediatrics) too, because I hate to see anything negative written about him. The office has been great in my experience and both doctors are very laid back, down to earth-and helpful. Good luck!

I use a wonderful pediatrician off of Prarie City Road, his name is Dr. Leon Cheng. My son was born at 33 weeks and Dr. Cheng has been wonderful at putting my worries at ease and asnwering any questions. His office staff and medical assistant is also wonderful. He is very open minded (I am looking into spacing out Nathan's 1 year vaccines). I am also a RN and I work with him, so you can kind of say that I hand picked him out of all the other pediatricians that I know. If you are looking for a female, Dr. Mimi Sato-Re who is in the same office with him is also wonderful I just went with a male since I was having a son. You should be able to find him number under Mercy Medical Group. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any other information since I do work at Folsom hospital.

do you have Kaiser Permanente?

After losing our Kaiser insurance, I reluctantly searched for a new pediatrician for my baby. Upon many recommendations, I went to River Rock Pediatrics http://www.riverrockpediatrics.com/ and was very pleased. Dr. Hepworth doesn't ignore my mother's intuition about my son. When he isn't 100% sure about a diagnosis, he keeps looking for clues/answers or refers to a specialist. He doesn't talk down to me and will take the time to fully explain things and answer questions. The office staff is pleasant. The office is very kid friendly. Good luck!

Hi C.! CONGRATULATIONS!! I interviewed Dr. Kevin Grant before my daughter was born based on numerous recommendations that I had received, and he has been our Pediatrician from day one. I was a scared new mom, and literally paged him at midnight (for something silly...)about 2 days after we brought her home. He called right back, and his whole staff has been wonderful! They always squeeze us in if she gets sick, and are very accomodating and caring. I can't say enough nice things about them! ###-###-####.

I am looking for one too. Just to letyou know that don't go for River Rock Pediatric. I have a very bad experiene with them and I don't recommend them for any mom. The staff is unfriendly and the Doctors seem doesn't care much... I don't want to remind the old sad story about my son but Dr. Hepworth misdiagnosis my son when he was 2 months old and he had to take so many antibiotics and go through so many procedures...
Good luck

We use Dr. Leon Cheng at the Mercy clinic off of Prairie City Road. He is wonderful as well as his nurse Nicole. Just an fyi, you have the right to go interview pediatrician...it is free. The office is also brand new and Dr. Cheng see adults as well. He is qualified in both areas.

Hi C.. We go to River Rock Pediatric and have for 8 years. Dr. Hepworth and Dr. Marcus are both incredible doctors. Their number is ###-###-####.

Ditto on Dr. Kevin Grant with Folsom Lake Pediatrics, I come from Roseville to see him, the staff is like a family and he's just so down to earth. I've called and Dr. Grant has actually scheduled an appt. for me.
