Dr. Colette will be out of the country from June 10–30 and will not be available for video consults or home visits during that time. She’ll still be checking messages (email, text, and contact form), but replies may be delayed. First available appointments will begin the first week of July.
While she's away, you can find support here:

Thank you for your understanding!

Edna Prieto, MD, IBCLC
Albany, CA- Available for tele-health visits
"As a board-certified family medicine physician, I have dedicated the past decade to helping empower patients to thrive. As a mother of two, my journey has led me to finding my passion in breastfeeding and lactation medicine.
I am excited to help support you and your family during this time of transition into parenthood and the fourth trimester. I hope to inspire confidence and nurture your transformation on this wild and beautiful adventure."

"I am a full-spectrum, family physician with advanced qualifications in caring for birthing persons and their infants throughout their reproductive years. My philosophy in lactation care: All birthing families deserve access to high quality, evidence-based and family-centered lactation support regardless of their socioeconomic status. It is a privilege to support two generations of a family unit simultaneously (a mother and their baby) in addressing their concerns and help them attain their breastfeeding goals. As a physician mom of color myself, I hope to improve the birth inequities by meeting clients where they desire their care, offering both home visitations and virtual consultations to all families in need."

"I’m Dr. Kristina Lehman and I am an Internist (primary care specialist for adults) AND a Pediatrician (primary care specialist for kids). I have additional interest and expertise in Breastfeeding Medicine and Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. I’m really excited to improve the care of my patients by providing more direct access to me for both appointments and advice in between visits. Having more time and more autonomy will really help me nurture you and your family better!"
