 Recognized for by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top children's hospitals in the nation with specialist-expertise covering virtually all pediatric conditions, including cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, orthopedics as well as the care of critically ill newborns. Children's Hospital Oakland is an ACS verified Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center (one of only five in California) and is one of the few dedicated exclusively to caring for children. When possible, a dedicated children's hospital is always a better choice for your child than the closest community hospital because the staff there may not have the training, experience, and equipment they need to provide the best in class care for your child. Research shows more experience means quality care and better outcomes. Treatment at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland is provided by a team of sub-specialty, fellowship-trained physicians who care for tens of thousands of children across 30+ specialties. Accurate diagnoses for any condition depend on the level of expertise of pathologists and radiologists. Our's are specially trained to interpret the results of tests and make an appropriate diagnosis. Children need expert pediatric anesthesiologists. All our equipment is kid-sized and we know the protocols that work best for children. At Children's you get benefit of our deep experience caring for infants and children. Departments and Clinics: Emergency & Urgent Care, Cancer, Heart Center, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Neonatology, Surgery, Gastroenterology, Urology, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Diabetes, Asthma, Rehabilitation, and over 180 specialties. 60+ regional clinics including Walnut Creek, San Ramon, Brentwood, Pleasanton, and Larkspur.
