Pediatric Primary Care Clinic

At UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, we're experts in taking care of the health needs of children from birth through adolescence. We firmly believe that the best way to help a child stay healthy is through regular checkups, preventive medicine and early intervention. That's what we do at our Pediatric Primary Care Clinic.

Our doctors and nurses provide routine preventive care – including checkups, vaccinations, vision and hearing screenings – and diagnose and treat the many minor illnesses and injuries kids experience. They'll work with you to help manage chronic conditions and provide referrals to a pediatric specialist when needed. They take the time to get to know your child and your family and to answer all of your questions about your child's health.
