Myles B. Abbott, MD, FAAP
Rick Oken and I were both Chief Residents at San Francisco General Hospital, part of the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, where we trained under the mentorship of Dr. Moses Grossman. Rick had joined East Bay Pediatrics (then known as Rhea, Lewis and Oken) when he finished his training and when I finished my training two years later he invited me to join the practice. The practice had a superb reputation and shared my commitment to comprehensive care for children from birth to young adulthood, so I gladly accepted. After practicing here for over 35 years, I am pleased that our commitment to excellence continues with our outstanding multicultural team of pediatric providers and staff.
I received my medical degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine and did my pediatric residency at UCSF. I have served in many leadership roles including 6 years on the Board of Directors of both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Board of Pediatrics.
My wife, Ida, and I are high school sweethearts and have two grown children, Jordan and David.
