He is absolutely the worst doctor that has ever seen my children. Any concern I had was completely disregarded. He seems to be obsessed with weight. My child is 6 years old and far from obese...he is stocky, built like a football player, but not obese. But that is what he called him, obese...right in front of my already over sensitive child. He even took it one step further to say that I should only feed him 200-300 calories a day. A DAY. And then vome bavk for a weight check. That is abuse considering the average caloric intake for a child his age should be 1400. When it came to my very petite, eat-like-a-bird daughter, I expressed concerns with her size and appetite. He told me that her size is fine since she has grown and that we wouldn't want her to end up obese like her brother. The doctors at East Bay Pediatrics are all well aware that we choose not to vaccinate, and although they disapprove, that is our choice. I am fine that Dr. Ferretti did his duty in asking me if I wanted to vaccinate this time around and to offer me information and statistics. But when he took it so far as to say that my decision could result in death, in front of both of my children, well that is just something you don't do! I wish it stopped there, but there is more. Upon ending the visit he went on to say "I know I'm going to be politically incorrect here" and brought up my past due balance (that ocurred due to a lapse in insurance at the time of a previous appointment, that I was unaware of at that time) and felt the need to offer a ridiculous analogy as if I were a child and didn't understand how a business works (this is after I had just paid over $200 at check in). And yes, this was all done with a smile and in a passive aggressive way. He spent more time belittling and barating me than he did on my childrens' actual physicals! Stay far away!

They are always careful and meticulous. Very nice and reassuring to my son. Professional in all aspects. I would recommend Dr Ferretti and the rest of the practice very highly.

The office was very easy to locate. I didn't have any trouble finding it at all. Whenever I asked them for more information about anything, they were happy to take the time to give me as much information as I wanted. We never feel rushed, they made me feel like every question I had was important. I will absolutely return. All the doctors in the practice are patient, curtious and very through. I felt as though I was talking to a good friend, not a doctor when I visit with my children.
