Susan Adham, M.D.

Believe the hype!
Pediatricians, or should I say, good pediatricians are slim pickin’s in this neck of the woods. Well, Dr. Adham is the greatest! You can tell she genuinely LOVES her work and loves babies.
Let me start by saying that I am a worry wart when it comes to certain things and my baby is one of them. I am constantly worrying about whether everything is normal and on track with my little one. Dr. Adham is VERY personable, thorough, and engaging. She does not rush you out of the exam room and gives you as much time as needed. She is also patient in answering all my new mommy questions.
My only gripe is with the appointment call center and front office staff. I wish there was better organization. For example, I called to make an appointment about 3 weeks in advance. The day before the appointment I called to confirm my appointment and was told I was all confirmed and ready. Later that afternoon I received a call from the front desk staff needing to switch her appointment to 1 hour later. Although this is not a big deal … this seems to be a common problem within this office and therefore should be improved.
I’m looking forward to a long lasting relationship with Dr. Adham for all my baby health needs … she is the best!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Adham. She is absolutely amazing. Last year when my Daughter was really sick Dr. Adham called on the weekend to check up on her, which to me is unheard of. She loves my girls and all kids and it really shows.

Dr. Adham is a great doctor. She is extremely knowledgable and (while I have a trust issue with people) I trust her completely. My two year old son has been seen by her since he was a week old and I couldn’t be happier about her.

We love Dr Adham. she is a perfect fit for all 3 of my children. She is attentive to what my children tell her and addresses issues and concerns. She has a wonderful bedside manner as well. She is always cheerful and pleasant. The kids enjoy seeing her and her staff. Cyndie G.

I was excited to schedule an appointment for a meet and greet with Dr Adham after receiving a recommendation from my OB/​GYN and reading the positive reviews here. My husband rescheduled all of the appointments he had on his schedule to accompany me to meet with Dr Adham.
Here it is now, two days before the meet and greet, and I received a voicemail asking to call back regarding the appointment. Confused by the extremely vague message, I called the office. I explained to the call center operator that I received a cryptic message and needed to speak with someone actually in the office. After answering a series of questions I didn’t know the answers to due to the lack of detail in the message and being put on a lengthy hold, I was finally connected to someone in the office only to learn that they had no record of the appointment I had made. Speaking with someone evidently not directly connected to the doctor, the only option I was given was to schedule an appointment two days before my due date. Frustrated and now anxious, I explained that was cutting it a bit too close, and was told I would hear back from the doctor’s actual assistant. I missed her call by two minutes and called back the office immediately only to hear the call center operator claim that she had left some twenty minutes prior. When I explained that she had literally two minutes ago left a voicemail and to please actually check the office, I was put on hold and told that yes, she had in fact left twenty minutes ago and was given a nasty attitude on top of it all.
Perhaps not an indication of the doctor herself but of the lack of competence of the call center you have to go through to schedule appointments for or to speak with anyone in the doctor’s office. However, still appropriate for this review, as dealing with the Sutter East Bay call center is an unfortunate necessary evil for patients of this doctor.
I’m truly saddened and disappointed and wish that I’d had a better experience.

My job just recently switched insurance carriers so I was having a hard time picking a Pediatrician for my 2 children. Through my insurance provider’s website I came across names of pediatricians. A friend of mine told me to research the doctors through Unilocal.I Unilocaled Dr. Adham’s name and her reviews were amazing so I decided to give her a try. I have to say that I was very impressed with her and her office staff. Dr. Adham is a wonderful person and made us feel at home. She asked my kids questions to get to know them and even shared some of her own experiences with us. I am looking forward to her caring for my children and am sure they are in good hands with her. Keep up the great work Dr. Adham, we need more doctors like you.

Dr Adham is by far the best pediatric doctor one can hope to find. She is kind and always willing to answer questions. She also cares enough for my children’s well being to call and check up on them after the visit. She also takes calls to answer questions rather than the usual «we can leave the dr a message or just bring your kid in» line. She is the BEST! She also perks my sick boy up with little gifts. He always leaves smiling and has even told me how much he likes her. The only downside is that she doesn’t see adults because I wish she was my personal DR ;)

Dr. Adham is the best!!! We have been with her for about 3 years. She is amazing with all three of my children, (ages 5 yrs, 3 yrs, and 7 months). She takes her time, listens, and is very personable, warm and down to earth. You never have to wait long when seeing her and she always returns phone calls. She is by far, the best pediatrician in the area. Her staff is also wonderful. Her medical assistants are very friendly and knowledgable too. Wish I could give her more than 5 stars!!! She truly is the best.

We are recently new to Dr. Adham. I have nothing but positive things to say about her. Firstly she asks the child/​patient what is wrong with them, and then asks the parent when she is done. My son LOVED that. Secondly she is QUICK. We come from Dr. Mahdavi where the wait time before you even get seen can be close to an hour and half to two hours. She is on time. Thirdly she is VERY thourough. She knows you are the parent and you know your child and she respects that. She is very on top of her emails should you need to email her. I only wish she could be MY primary care doctor. I have nothing negative to say. Not one thing. If I could give her a gold star, I would make it glitter because she IS the best. I wish we would have switched sooner. I had a guilt/​loyalty to Dr. Mahdavi. But this BlueRock location is much more convenient for us. Dr. Adham ROCKS! I HIGHLY recommend you switch if you can… :)

I love this woman! After switching medical coverage, I had to find a new pediatrician for my daughter, and the first time I met Dr. Adham was for my baby’s one-​year checkup. She is so attentive and thorough and I felt like she really took her time with us; I never felted rushed. She has a laid-​back demeanor and she was so affectionate with my baby. I am so happy to have found a great new pediatrician on the first try!

All four of my daughters love Dr. Adham! She’s an awesome pediatrician!

Love, Love, Love Dr Adham. She even holds my daughter on her lap during visits. The office is decorated in such a child friendly way and the staff is wonderful. What I love about her is if she’s not sure about a diagnosis or treatment she will research it. No ego, she just wants the right answer.

Hello, Dr. Adham !!!
Not sure if you still remember us. Our daughter Jena Sam was your patient in November 2010.
We now live in SoCal but always remember how wonderful our experience with you have been. To this day, we still wish that you are her pediatrician :-)
Sami is turning one in 5 weeks and I’m going to send you a picture of her at the address above, or if you have an email address, I can email them to you. She has gotten so big, has 8 teeth at 40 weeks, stands with no support and walks around with her walker. She is a chatterbox and is non-​stop from the time she wakes up till she goes to bed.
We hope you are doing well… Hi to your wonderful staff…
