It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation from Pediatric Wellness Group. I feel so privileged to have been able to be a part of the wonderful team here at PWG. I am confident that they will continue to care for my patients with the same level of care and service that I have provided over the past four years.

I want to thank my amazing families for trusting in me with the care of your most precious ones. I am truly humbled by the confidence you have instilled in me.  It has been an honor to be a part of your lives and I have sincerely enjoyed watching your little ones develop, learn, and grow.  Thank you for helping me to also grow, both as a physician and a mama, as we navigated this path together. I will miss all the encouraging smiles, hugs, and high fives and I will take those with me as I transition to my next role.

My family and I will be relocating to Santa Rosa, CA where I will practice at Sutter Medical Group of the Redwoods.  It is a bittersweet move but one that is best for our family at this time.  My last day in the office at PWG with be August 19^th, 2022. The front desk staff is available to accommodate all families with scheduling needs over the coming weeks.

All the best,

Dr. Megan

We are using an appointment-based system in order to safely deliver flu vaccines to our patients. If you have signed up for MyChart access with UCSF that will be the easiest way to get an appointment…if you don’t have MyChart access just go to www.ucsfhealth.org/mychart for instructions on how to sign up. Here are some important details regarding our flu shot clinics:

• Flu vaccine clinic will be held in a green tent in our parking lot, look for the signs
• Everyone over the age of 2 years will need to wear a mask
• We cannot accommodate walk-ins at this time
• You can make an appointment for a flu vaccine by
  • calling the office, please be patient as there may be delays due to high call volumes
  • sending in an appointment request using UCSF’s MyChart patient portal
  • use the self-schedule feature on UCSF’s MyChart to set up a flu vaccine appointment online
• This flu vaccine clinic is ONLY for the flu vaccine and ONLY for established PWG patients

Thank you for keeping your child, family, and community safe this flu season!

We are actively preparing to give COVID vaccines to our young patients between 6 months – 4 years and 364 days of age as soon as it receives full approval from all regulatory agencies. We anticipate a high volume of calls and messages and ask you to be patient with us while we work hard to take care of everyone’s request for an appointment.   Here are some key takeaways for you to know:

• We will have enough vaccine for everyone who wants their child vaccinated. We are only offering Pfizer vaccines at this time.

• COVID vaccine will be given by appointment only, we CANNOT accommodate walk ins at this time.

• You cannot schedule a COVID vaccine through the MyChart app at this time, you CAN send a message to your child’s pediatrician through the MyChart app requesting an appointment or call the office directly.

• PLEASE NOTE that your appointment may need to be rescheduled if it occurs prior to full vaccine approval

• If your child has an upcoming appointment, we CAN administer the COVID vaccine at that appointment, feel free to discuss this with your child’s doctor. 

• If you have any questions about the MyChart app please call MyChart Customer Service at (415) 514-6000. They’re available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Many of you know that residential households in the U.S. can order one set of four at-home tests for free from USPS.com. Here’s the link for more information about placing an order: https://special.usps.com/testkits 

Yesterday the FDA authorized booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for 12- to 15-year-olds. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is scheduled to meet on Wednesday regarding the authorization. Based on previous experience we anticipate they will also approve administration of booster doses of Pfizer’s vaccine for 12 to 15 year old adolescents.

We are prepared to follow this recommendation, we have plenty of vaccine and appointments available. Please send us a MyChart message or call the office at 650.216.7794 to set up an appointment. Note: we anticipate a very high call volume so sending a MyChart message may be more efficient. We’ll keep you updated as this story develops.
