UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals are consistently ranked among the nation's best children's hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. We have two main campuses serving children and their families – one in Oakland and one in San Francisco – as well as clinics throughout Northern California. Whether we're treating a rare condition or providing a routine checkup, our love of helping kids shines through. With hundreds of doctors from more than 50 medical specialties, we provide care for virtually all pediatric conditions, including orthopedic issues, cancer, heart defects, neurological disorders and traumatic injuries. We are especially proud to be one of the few hospitals in the nation equipped to treat rare and serious illnesses in children.
