Amy – Practice Manager

I’ve been with North Bay Pediatrics since 1984. I love what I do and have enjoyed watching our patients grow and now bring their children to our practice! I’ve seen many changes in the past 38 years and our practice continues to meet our patients needs by having live staff answering phones, providing excellent pediatric medicine, and always offering same day appointments. Many of our staff have been here over 20 years and several over 30 years! Personally, I have three incredible children and 7 adorable grandchildren. My husband and I enjoy hiking, biking and travel.

Ann

I have been bringing my two adult children to North Bay Pediatrics since they were newborns. I have also had the pleasure of working in the NBP Business Office since 1999. My job is to help families with their insurance issues and referrals to specialists for their children. I enjoy reading, knitting,  gardening and having fun with my grandkids, family and friends.

Jody

I have been happily working at North Bay Pediatrics since 2003. I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and moved to Benicia when I was 10 years old, attending Robert Semple, Benicia Junior High and Benicia High School. I am the mom of two grown sons and two grandsons. In my spare time I love to walk, do home project, solve mysteries and bake cookies.

Lisa

I have worked here at North Bay Pediatrics since 2000! I love working here and getting to know all the little ones and their families.

My husband and I raised one daughter here in the Bay Area, and she spent her first 18 years as a patient at NBP, seeing both Dr. Sher and Dr. Tanaka.

I enjoy spending time with all my co-workers at the practice, with friends and family, weekend trips and gardening.

Lori

I have been working for NBP for over 30 years now. Have had the pleasure of seeing children grow up and come back to us with their children (my daughters included). I appreciate and enjoy the atmosphere the doctors here have encouraged over the years to include us to all be involved whether it is personally answering phones or just helping pick out stickers! Love spending time with friends and family and having fun with my 4 wonderful grandkids!

Sharon

I have been happily working at North Bay Pediatrics since 1987. I began my career with NBP shortly after my youngest son was born. As a Benicia Mom, I always knew that North Bay Pediatrics was the place to bring your child for excellent loving care, where you and your child were made to feel as part of a family. In my spare time I love to hike, jog, swim, ski, kayak, read and explore new places around the world. It has been with much joy to watch our North Bay Pediatrics babies grown up to amazing young adolescents.

Therese

Hello! I have had the pleasure of working with North Bay Pediatrics since 2019. I have always known since I was a little girl that I wanted to work in healthcare. It’s a beautiful thing when a career and passion come together. Although I have spent most of my career working in Geriatrics, I am proud to say that working with Pediatrics is definitely a rewarding change. It has been joyous to work with doctors, staff, and patients with whom make you feel like family. I love spending time with my husband and 3 busy kiddos on weekend travels and sporting events!.
