Dr. Joanne Hartley Allport, MD

Except for the fact that she's in demand so it's difficult to get an appointment with her, everything else is a FOUR cuz she clearly knows how to take excellent care of kids and teens and she even sees patients up to age 25, so I'm able to take my 2 kids to her and go to her myself, which I love! She's come to know all of us and is very supportive and caring about my entire family's healthcare and emotional needs.

I always recommend her to all of my friends. She's got an amazing ability to make me, the "Mom", feel totally included and listened to. At the same time, both of my kids, one a teen, love her b/c she's fun and explains everything she's doing to them. I'm hoping that seeing her will influence them to want to become doctors b/c she clearly loves being one. She's only able to see patients one day a week b/c she is a professor at the medical school in Vallejo. Book well in advance and be persistent, she's worth the effort.

She's a Professor at Touro Medical School, so she is always very current in her medical knowledge. She combines this with a wonderful bedside manner. She really understands and communicates exceptionally well with all ages and amazingly, with adolescents, which is her sub-specialty. I highly recommend taking your children/tweens/teens to her b/c she is well trained and very competent in her care for infants up to 25 yo.
