Parents, please Sign in to post a review on this page.I highly recommend one medical on university. I am a one medical member for many years and they’re my primary doctors. They’re also a peds office, so they see family members of all ages and your kids can feel grown and in control of their own health this way.
I’ve been using One Medical for many years, and now my baby and 5YO use them as well. While the service isn’t as amazing as it was pre-pandemic, I can still do video visits anytime with about a 15 minute wait and can always get same day appointments. I’ve been with the same doctor for years. It really gives me peace of mind, especially with young children. They do not have specialists though, just primary care.
You should try One Medical. I don't put too much stock into reviews. They have family practice offices (for adults and kids) as well as general women's health (not OB though specifically). There is also 24/7 access to on-call providers via video and phone. Their access isn't as great as it used to be but you can often get an appointment within a day or two.
I love my PCP and I think she is as you describe. I am also 50 and have a few minor medical issues. I don't know if she's in the UC Care network, nor do I know if she is accepting new patients. Dr. Emily Caro-Bruce at One Medical in Berkeley. https://www.onemedical.com/providers/emily-caro-bruce/
Our whole family has used One Medical for years, and my three-year-old has had pediatricians there his whole life. They do a great job with virtual care and I’ve been really happy with the pediatricians as well.
I've been really happy with One Medical. I've seen various doctors there. It's really efficiently run and they take their time with each patient. They have offices in Berkeley and Oakland - you can pick a primary care doc at the most convenient one and then if needed make appointments elsewhere too like if you need same day. They're very responsive by phone and email too. Good luck!
One Medical has a family practice office in Oakland. Meets your criteria!
This is why we like being a part of One Medical. My husband works in SF, I work in Marin, and we live in the East Bay. My primary doctor is in Marin by my office but if I'm sick at home and need to see someone, I can go to their Berkeley or Oakland location. My husband can do the same. It's really great!
+1 for the Oakland One Medical office! We've seen Emily Caro-Bruce, Sarit Silver, and Kate Murray at that location, and all have been sweet and knowledgable. Very reassuring for us as first-time parents!
+1 for Emily Caro-Bruce at One Medical in Oakland. She is amazing with my one year old and so responsive to email/texts. We feel so fortunate to have her as my son's doctor.
Hi there! We LOVE Emily Caro-Bruce, MD at One Medical on Grand Ave. The scheduling is SUPER easy, every appointment is on time and the lab work is always a breeze.
Best of luck!!
I couldn’t recommend One medical enough. They have been my general practicioner, prenatal care, and now pediatrician. AMAZING! Offices in Oakland and Berkeley.
You should look into One Medical Group. They have a primary care office in Berkeley and family practice in Oakland. Easy access, and providers are all very personable and kind.
Yes, we have seen Dr. Peter a number of times and have regularly done the urgent video call appointments- they pick up within like 5-10minutes of pressing that option! It has been a great option for us to have with all the illnesses kids get. They are so much easier to get an appointment with last minute than our Pediatrician at Sutter Health. Even before the Berkeley Office took kids I could always get a next day appointment when my kiddo is sick if I drove to San Ramon, Marin, etc. We don't use One Medical, however, for our ongoing wellness checks or for appointments for known ongoing issues that we can schedule far in advance. We have stuck with Sutter Health for those kinds of appointments since we can schedule them super far in advance and because we like our Pediatrician there, we just can't ever get in to see her. It's nice having both, though One Medical does always remind us "they are not an urgent care" and would prefer us to have them as their main Pediatrician so all records can be housed there, but this works for us.
We've taken both our kids to One Medical since they were born (6y and 2y) and have always been happy. There is, what I consider, a pretty high turnover rate. We're on our 4th PCP for my 6yo since he was born. I've never felt rushed or brushed off, it is easy enough to get appointments, and the app is easy to use. I would probably switch if I wasn't so lazy (finding another PCP, transferring records, etc) mostly be the fees for two kids each year is a little outrageous. (Wish they had family plans...) Also, if you are a member you can manage your kids account from your log in, but if you aren't you'll have a log in for each kid (if you have more than 1) and you'll have to log in and out of the app to access each account.
