NorthBay ABC Prenatal Program

I love this clinic. I was a patient here with my first daughter and now again with my second. The staff has been super nice and helpful. Naomi is super sweet. Dr. Judy is awesome as well. She has been super patient with me. Even though this is my second child I always seem to have a ton of questions and she is happy to help. Miranda has been super helpful also. Keeping me on track with my diet and keeping me motivated. Not to mention she is a great listener. I know it’s probably not part of her job but she listens when I talk about the challenges I face not only with my diet but with my pregnancy and daily life in general. Everyone j have met has been great. They have made my pregnancies easier and helped with my «mommy-​to-​be anxiety». I would recommend this clinic to anyone but especially first time moms. They have classes you can take and everyone is very helpful if you have questions or concerns.

The front desk ladies are not the friendliest (esp. the older one at the first window). Dr. Lin is one of those doctors that rushes you through the appointment in record time. Don’t ask him to refill a prescription because he wont. He was so rude the first time and then after that he tried to be friendlier but still just wants to get patients in and out as quickly as possible. My apt with him I see him maybe 1 – 2 minutes TOPS. Judy is very kind too but kind of rushes you through the appointments too. Maybe bc most of mine are in the afternoon? I don’t know, just hate feeling rushed through. I understand this is a clinic that most on Medi-​cal have to come to but don’t be rude. The nurse staff is okay. One was very rude my first interaction with her but has been pleasant ever since.
I did want to say Lisa and Heidi have been amazing the entire process. I probably would have switched doctors if it hadn’t been for them. Heidi is very easy to talk to and has helped a lot. Lisa is very personable and friendly, she never has made me feel second best or rushed. The dietician is very sweet too.
