Pediatric Associates of Stockton

"Been years since our kids went here. But parents should be warned. This office is run by a mean girls clique. If they like you they'll likely treat you well and you'll be happy with them. If they don't like you, they will treat you badly. Just find another practice ASAP in that case. They aren't going to change. The specialist this practice had sent us to under the HMO sent back a request to this practice to provide an injection he knew they had and he considered medically necessary. This practice suddenly declared our son wasn't even a patient there. Even though they were listed as the PCP and had sent him to the specialist under the HMO. Basically we couldn't even go to the specialist without their permission. We had to get the HMO insurance to switch practices for us mid month. About that time the doctor had finally responded to our multiple requests to talk to him about this. But it was too late. We lost all trust in this office. They put keeping the office clique happy above patient needs. The one useful thing this practice taught us was to only use PPO insurance in the future. Never get locked into just one practice."

"I have been going here since my first son was born back in 2019. I don’t have the best insurance and they still treat myself and my boys just as important. The facility is clean and adorable. And I can’t say enough about all the staff and especially the physicians. Dr. B and Dr. S have gone above and beyond for my boys! I can’t thank them enough!"

"I love Dr. Waters! She is thorough and knowledgeable and listens! The staff are all helpful and kind as well. It’s hard to find a trustworthy Dr who really listens and takes your concerns seriously. I used to be a stay at home mom so I was always the one who took my kids to their appointments. Now it is my husband who is doing it because I am working full time. He feels a little out of place in this new role and so do I! He didn’t really know what to ask or make note of at the kid’s appointment. But he was relieved after getting there because he said everyone was so nice and the kids (who really don’t like going to the dr!) felt comfortable. We recently moved to Lodi so we were thinking about finding a Pediatrician closer to home but decided it’s definitely worth the extra drive to keep them under her care."

"Dr. Sakimura is awesome!! My son was born at 27wks and spent over 2 months in the NICU. She welcomed us and has been so through/loving with him! As for the office they are very detailed, accommodating, and fast! As a first time mom having him seen with her has been a godsend. Also they have always accommodated same day appointments for him which is a huge plus!"

"Today was the LAST time I come here! First time I waiting over an hour just so my daughter can get a simple shot. Today AGAIN! I came in early for my son's appointment waited and waited and I can only see people after me get called in for their appointments. Mind you I didn't say anything for a while. After seeing that I was the only one waiting I asked the lady at the front desk how come my son haven't been called since we got here early and I've been waiting for a while now. She came back and said they are short staffed!!!which is BULL!! TWO other patients came in after I asked and they BOTH we're called in. F this place!!! Going somewhere else!!! Then they give you an attitude when you ask them questions. My bad for interrupting your personal conversations!!!"
