South East Bay Pediatrics continues to accept new patients

Our goal is to provide you with the best medical care for your infant, child, or teenager on an ongoing basis, whether it be for routine, ill, or emergent care. We provide care for all children from newborns through teens to age 21. New patients are always welcome!

New to our practice? If you would like to get to know our practice and our physicians, feel free to contact us by email with any questions you may have. Additional information and forms for new patients.

To our patients and their families:

We appreciate your confidence in our practice; we respect your time and value you as our patients.  We would like to apologize for the recent increase in phone and office wait times that many of you may have experienced.  Over the past three months we have seen our patient enrollment increase dramatically because of changes in Pediatrician availability in the community.  At the same time, a worse than usual flu season increased the demand for our services.

We are currently expanding and updating our phone lines, upgrading our computer systems, and recruiting and hiring more staff and physicians.  We continue to be completely committed to delivering the best medical care available and giving each child the time he or she needs.  Physicians and staff have been offering extended hours to ensure that we maximize your access to our care.

We appreciate your patience as we navigate through this period of transition.  We would like to extend a warm welcome to our many new families and are grateful to our existing families for their loyalty and support.  We remain dedicated to all of you. 

Sincerely,

The Physicians and Staff at SOUTH EAST BAY PEDIATRIC MEDICAL GROUP

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR PATIENTS REGARDING A RECENT RECALL REPORT

Hib (Haemophilus influenza type B) and Comvax (Hib + Hepatitis B combined) vaccines: The manufacturer of these vaccines has announced a voluntary recall of specific lots due to potential sterility issues with the manufacturing process.  At South East Bay Pediatrics, the recall involves Comvax and Hib vaccines given after September 24, 2007 to December 12, 2007.  To date, none of the questionable lots have been found to be contaminated during testing, and no adverse reactions have been reported.  The efficacy of the vaccine is unchanged, so revaccination is not necessary.  Information about the recall and how it affects patients can be obtained from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
