UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland
747 52nd Street, Oakland, CA 94609
This page brings together federal quality data for this hospital: its CMS star rating, patient survey results, emergency department times, and death, complication, infection and readmission rates, each compared with the national rate. Everything here comes from CMS and NPPES, the federal sources themselves - not from us.
What patients said
Answers from patients who stayed here, collected by CMS in the national HCAHPS survey: Oct 2024 – Sep 2025.
Not reported for this hospital
CMS had too few cases here to publish results for deaths, complications, infections caught in the hospital, readmissions and return visits. That is common at small, rural and specialty hospitals, and says nothing either way about quality.

568 clinicians give this hospital's street address as their practice location in NPPES, the federal provider registry, plus 203 residents and trainees. The same address can take in offices and clinics in the building, and a listing does not prove admitting privileges or current employment.

How to read this page
- Everything here is published by CMS on Care Compare. We arrange it and explain it; the star ratings and the better / worse verdicts are CMS's, not ours.
- “No different” is the most common result on most measures at most hospitals. CMS only calls a result better or worse when the difference from the national rate is statistically clear.
- Death, complication and readmission rates are adjusted by CMS for how sick patients were, so hospitals that treat sicker patients can be compared fairly.
- Infection results are ratios: 1.0 means as many infections as CMS predicted for a hospital like this one, below 1.0 is fewer.
- These are hospital-wide results. They do not rate an individual doctor, nurse or department, and they are not medical advice.
