Where we are Located
MDAC is located at San Francisco General Hospital Building 5 (main grey hospital building) on the 6th floor, Ward 6B.
The parking at SFGH can be challenging. There is limited 1- and 2-hour street parking on surrounding streets. Additionally, there are two paid parking areas—a small lot adjacent to the hospital (entrance at 23rd Street) and a parking garage (entrance at 24th Street).
First5 and MDAC Commitment to the Community
In accordance with the mission of First5 San Francisco, MDAC conducts developmental assessment for any child under age 6 years who is a resident of San Francisco, regardless of insurance status.
Children over age 6 may be seen at MDAC if they are insured by Medi-Cal and are seen for primary care at:
- Department of Public Health clinics such as 6M Pediatric Clinic, Family Health Center, Silver Avenue, Southeast, etc.
- Northeast Medical Services
- Mission Neighborhood Health Center
Interpreting Services
Language should not be a barrier for patients and their families seeking evaluation. San Francisco General Hospital provides interpreters in person and via phone for medical visits free of charge. In addition, nearly all MDAC clinical team members are fluent in Spanish, and one team member is fluent in Cantonese.
