I love Dr. Main AND Dr. Katz.
Dr. Katz is cheifly responsible for my second child being born near full term instead of 12 weeks early like her brother. Dr. Katz wrote the book (literally) on the subject of saving your pregnancy, and I think his advice and care were superlative and wonderful.
Dr. Katz is in charge, but he knows what he's doing and truly cares about you and your baby. On the way to and from my appointments I was under strict orders to be lying down in the car, and when I would arrive at his office, his staff were under orders to make me comfortable and have seating arranged so I could lie down to wait. (I was on bedrest).
Truly we are thankful for all of Dr. Katz' help, and if we decide to have another baby, he'll be the first person we call.

My preemie was taken care of at CPMC, and I have to say he got excellent care from the Physicians, Residents, Interns, and all the NICU staff! (only be careful of late night substitute nurses, insist that they call you in to the hospital if a substitute nurse is called in to take the place of your regular nurse! The only problems we had were from nurses called in who don't normally work there! Even with that, the nursing staff was willing to work with us and make things right.)
One HUGE bonus of CPMC is it's world class neonatologists!
Also, the clinic for high risk pregnancies is far and away the best! (those are the perinatologists!)
The food at CPMC has its ups and downs, but overall is pretty decent! Proximity to good restaurants is somewhat limited near the california campus.
The good news is that smoking isn't allowed on campus anywhere. The bad news is that sometimes smokers will come in right after a smoke, and that can irritate a preemies lungs. If you suspect your nurse or Respiratory Therapist or other health care provider has just come in from a smoke, complain! (you can tell by the smell! If it registers with your nose, you better believe it can bother a sick baby.)

The Door is an area favorite for religious gifts, cards, books, Bibles, 1st Communion gifts, childrens' items, Christian Education resources, ministerial supplies, and the latest and greatest in Christian Music.
Very helpful staff, willing to order anything they don't have (usually with a quick turn around time), able to make informed recommendations whether you're looking for some light reading, serious worship music, or just the perfect gift. Nice selection of journals, both with and without scripture on the pages. Also carries a line of Christian T-shirts. Nice gifts section, everything from coffee mugs and magnets to beautiful stained glass, pottery, and artwork. Carries Thomas Kinkaide items.
Has a Spanish section, and carries many dvd/videos. If you have children with you, they'll pop in a video to entertain the little guys while you shop!
Good resource for Sunday school teachers, everything from stickers to planning books and reproducible curriculum books. Large selection of gift and study Bibles, also Bible software.
It's hard to leave without an armful of merchandise! I enjoy shopping there, especially for the holidays, birthdays, and just to surprise friends and family with unique items.

Every new parent is faced with making a important choice. Who will be my baby's doctor?
The entire group of pediatricians at ABC Pediatrics in San Mateo are very caring, experienced, talented and take the time to listen. I have one "regular child" who has been well looked after for ear infections, immunizations and physicals, and her review is that she loves all the doctors at ABC, (and Dr. Jeanne the mostest). I have another child who was born prematurely and has needed a lot of care. With mutiple medical conditions and health issues, he's labeled an "interesting case" by the specialists. But the pediatricians at ABC not only stay on top of his case, they take the time to completely master the latest information on every available treatment for him. Even more importantly, they listen to the parents, and work with them as a team, really going to bat for the children in their care. My child has continued to receive nothing but the best quality care and made incredible strides toward health and wholeness because of the remarkable physicians of ABC. I've recommended ABC to other new mothers, and they're all as thrilled as I am!
