Meet the Pro's!

Saad Al Alou, M.D., completed his studies in pediatrics and adolescent medicine at St. Joseph Children's Hospital, Paterson, NJ, which is an affiliate of Mount Sinai School of Medicine of New York.   He enjoys being a pediatrician and has dedicated his career to care for all children. He is fluent in Spanish, Romanian, and Arabic.

Meltem Karatepe, M.D., board-eligible pediatrician, started seeing patients in November. She received her medical degree from the University of Istanbul, Turkey, and completed her residency at the Metropolitan Hospital, New York. Her training included pediatric and neonatal intensive care, pulmonology, endocrinology, infectious diseases, cardiology, dermatology, radiology, nephrology, hematology-oncology, genetics and adolescent medicine.

Robert D. Sewell, M.D. loves children - working with them, treating them, seeing them grow and develop into successful young adults. He sees himself as a resource or support person for parents, families and fellow professionals to help them deal with common and uncommon childhood problems. Practicing in Mason County offers the chance to build and develop closer relationships with the families that come to Oakland Bay Pediatrics -something often lost in the larger communities. In his spare time he loves music, reading, traveling, sports and spending time with his family.

 

 
 

 

Where caring counts.
Feel the difference.

We specialize in the healthcare of infants, children and adolescents. Our goal is to provide our patients and parents with the best possible medical care and preventive guidance as we follow your child from birth to adulthood.

Pediatricians Saad Al Alou, M.D., Meltem Karatepe, M.D., and Robert D. Sewell, M.D., offer quality healthcare to kids from birth through eighteen.

Heart, Love

Oakland Bay Pediatrics is a place where the staff works together to meet the needs of their young patients. Whether they are conducting a well-child exam, stitching up a playtime injury, or caring for an ill baby, they are pleased to answer questions, offer encouragement or dry young tears. 

The clinic is part of the Public Hospital District No.1 of Mason County which also includes the adjacent Mason General Hospital and the North Mason Medical Clinic, Belfair.

 These combined, have given the theme, "Quality Care... in our own hometown,"
added reach.




Round the Clock Care...

When things get busy, OBP teams up to make sure all kids needing same-day care are seen. The staff is also available on call nights and weekends, so that they can help parents determine whether their child needs to be seen immediately at the hospital, the next day at the office or can be treated at home.

Come see us for:

  • Comprehensive healthcare from birth to young adult
  • Newborn care
  • Well-child checks and immunizations
  • Physicals (school and sports, annual)
