Evans James MD

The best pediatrician. Dr. Evans is always right on with his diagnoses, uses sound judgment, and listens to his patients. As a mom of soon to be three, I can’t think of anyone I would trust more with my children. Also always offers to go above and beyond saving us trips to ER on weekends and holidays. Plus, my kids love him. I think his practical experience as a father also adds to his practice. I really cannot say enough good things — and reviews in the local moms groups agree.

We’ve been seeing Dr. Evans for about 2 years when after a few appts my 10 year old daughter said he made her uncomfortable. She now only sees female doctors and won’t tell us why. On top of that she had a serious lung infection and he told her it was just allergies. We won’t be going back!
Many of our friends had a similar experience and have decided to go with other doctors in the office– it’s a great office just avoid him.

I’m not exactly sure why there aren’t dozens of reviews written for Dr. Evans. He is amazing! I originally wanted a female pediatrician for my daughter so she could relate/​understand what I was going through and anything that my come up with my daughter too. As it turns out, Dr. Evans is exactly what we needed. His bedside manner is incredibly sincere, compassionate, and understanding. He’s a younger doctor which turns out to be a wonderful bonus because he knows the most current information regarding health and safety stats and research done around various topics that have come up in our visits. One of the things I love most is that he is very inquisitive and really dives in and takes his time to make sure he hears me out and has asked all questions that could exhaust all of the possibilities with any illness we’ve presented him with. He is so thorough and reassuring too. He spent more than 2 hours with us and then let me stay in the room to nurse for over an hour as well (on several occasions!). The staff is wonderfully warm and helpful. They get the door for me, help me carry my bag/​car seat, guide me through paperwork with patience and kindness. I just love this office! PLUS, The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy is just down a block and they do medicine in liquid suspension form for babies so that’s SUPER convenient.
I love this office and Dr. Evans is our hero. He figured out my daughter’s silent reflux be being persistent and digging to find answers even when her symptoms were not typical. He went the extra mile to be sure and sent her to a specialist so she didn’t have to continue to suffer. We left Walnut Creek Pediatrics to come see Dr. Evans on a friend’s recommendation. I’m so glad we did. Summit Pediatrics is far and away better than Walnut Creek Pediatrics based on how they’re run and how easy it is to get a hold of someone, get calls back, and be seen immediately. Plus, they treat you with gentle, knowing compassion at Summit Pediatrics — unlike Walnut Creek Pediatrics.
I just can’t say enough great things about thus wonderful doctor and practice. We are forever in their debt for their wonderful service to our family.

Excellent Pediatrician, highly recommend. See review for Summit pediatrics, but all the doctors are great.
