Pediatrics at Parnassus

General pediatric care at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital includes routine health examinations, treatment for acutely ill children and consultations for difficult to diagnose problems. Our services include immunizations, vision and hearing screenings, health education and counseling for teens and families affected by violence. Our general pediatric clinics are located at our Parnassus and Mount Zion locations.

Your child will be seen by an "attending" doctor, who supervises care, and a "resident" doctor, who is completing training in pediatrics.
