About Linda M Sakimura, MD

Welcome to Pediatric Associates of Stockton. We are proud to say that we have been doing business in Stockton since 1949. The practice was started by Dr. Frank Ruhstaller in a small office down on Harding Way. The practice grew and grew over time as the people of Stockton learned of his medical expertise. Because of this growth, he added partners who are still with the practice to this day.
