Anne B Parker, MD

We recently moved to the Bay Area from Missouri. One of my most dreaded things was finding a new pediatrician for my 8 month old son. We first saw Dr. Parker at his 6 month visit and she was fantastic! She spent a lot of time with us asking questions and answering all of ours and reviewing his history. She was wonderful with him, talking to him and smiling a lot. She was very thorough and informative. I’ve since had to see her a few more times due to my son getting sick, and she’s been like that for every visit. I would certainly recommend her to anyone who asked!

Very, very pleased with Dr. Parker! My wife and I are parents of premature twins. Our children were 15 weeks premature and spent over 4 months in the NICU before coming home. They faced heart surgery, BPD, the standard developmental delays that all 25 weekers face, and a variety of other medical challenges. For the first year of their lives, our kids continued with monthly visits with several specialists — four at one point. So naturally, it was very important for us to find the right doctor.
We live in Alameda, and Dr. Parker came recommended to us. She is probably among the best qualified pediatricians in Alameda to care for preemies, given that she herself is a mom of preemie triplets. Needless to say, she has an intuitive understanding of our children’s needs, and she — of course — has clear insight into the stresses of parenting preemies. She has never hesitated to provide a referral, and she has assisted us whenever our insurance company has tried to send us to a less desirable practitioner. (I’m in the military, and occasionally Tricare tries to send our kids to Travis AFB for treatment.)
Her office has been willing to see us on short notice many, many times — I can usually get an appointment the same morning. Likewise, every time we’ve called after hours, a doctor within the practice has gotten back to us within minutes and VERY patiently assisted us with all our questions. (Our twins are our first children, so we tended to call an awful lot in the first year — probably once every couple weeks…)
Very important for us, Dr. Parker has a great bedside manner for kids and parents alike. She has great a way of putting us at ease. It would have been much tougher to get through the difficult medical ordeal we’ve faced over the last couple years without her. If you are a parent of multiples or a preemie, look no further!

Dr. Parker is, as the other reviewers say, fantastic and incredible. She is absolutely supportive, easy to communicate with and patient with any questions (and in fact encourages them!).
I have yet to meet anyone who has gone to Dr. Parker who has not raved about her. She is practical, empathetic and very knowledgeable. I can’t imagine our babies seeing any other doctor.
Also, all of the other Pediatricians in her practice are superb.

Anne Parker is incredible! As first time parents we knew NOTHING and she wasn’t ever condescending– only warm, supportive, nurturing. We have the greatest story that we tell our daughter. There were some complications when she was born and she was really underweight. So on the first visit to Dr Parker I asked if she was going to be OK. Anne took a look into my daughter’s face, then looked directly into my eyes and confidently said, ‘She’s perfect.” My daughter loves this story! And I still remember the sense of relief on hearing thos words.
Anne is not a reactionary. She is reasonable. She disclosed that she has triplets and a single child, and so her advice wasn’t just textbook, but real-​time, how to survive crazy times, honest and always worked!
We were referred to her through a family friend (thank you!!) and I always recommend her to anyone in Alameda. I’ve talked to other moms whose pediatricians are so ridiculously conservative and lawsuit-​paranoid, that nothing they say is feasible. I so appreciate Anne!

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Parker. She is fantastic. We are moving and need to switch pediatricians and I am really dreading it. She’s been extremely responsive, patient, thorough, and supportive. Her bed-​side manner is wonderful for kids (especially my wussy girl). If anyone is in Alameda or near-​by and looking for a pediatrician definitely look into her!
