We are deeply committed to optimizing the health and well-being of our pediatric members and families. Since 1994, we are proud to put children first.

In 1994, Children First Medical Group, Inc. (CFMG) was formed as a California professional corporation functioning as an Independent Physician Association (IPA). An IPA is a legal entity governed and operated by the pediatricians and pediatric specialists invested in our community and our community's health care delivery system.  

CFMG has grown to become a comprehensive pediatric network offering primary care and pediatric specialty care. The pediatric specialist physician members of CFMG are community and hospital-based at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Mission Bay, and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford in Palo Alto, as well as outlying clinics in Emeryville and Walnut Creek. Our community-based primary care pediatricians are located throughout Alameda County and Contra Costa County (commercial contracts only).

​

You can see that the CFMG pediatric physician network is an excellent choice for your child’s well care and specialty care services, conveniently located right here in our local community. In addition to our core mission to serve families of all backgrounds in our communities, CFMG pediatric specialists also serve as the preferred pediatric referral networks for many other medical groups and regional IPAs. Please consult your HMO or PPO Provider Directory to find and request one of our primary care pediatricians or specialists.

As the premier physician-led pediatric primary care and pediatric specialists provider network in Northern California, we will deliver community-focused, inclusive and culturally respectful, family-centered, compassionate and comprehensive whole child care for our children and their families. By doing so, we strive to protect our children and to preserve their futures and ours.
