Pediatric primary care services
At UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals, we partner with you to support your child's health at every age. We offer comprehensive primary care for infants, children and young adults at locations across the Bay Area. Our compassionate team includes pediatricians, adolescent medicine doctors and family medicine providers.
As part of the UCSF care network, we can easily refer your child to pediatric specialists if they need advanced care for an injury, illness or chronic condition.
Sometimes, children need after-hours care. UCSF's Bay Area urgent care clinics provide nonemergency care on weekday evenings, weekends and holidays.
Preventive and sick care for kids
The best way to help your child stay healthy is through regular checkups, preventive medicine and early intervention when they are ill or injured.
At the appointment, we take time to get to know your child and family and answer questions you or your child may have.

Well-child visits
Vaccinations
Vision and hearing screenings
Diagnosing and treating minor illnesses and injuries
Chronic condition management
Specialist referrals
