I took my son to see Dr. Monfared because he was sick. After examining him, she recommended a strep test, and my husband and I agreed. She later returned and told us that my son tested positive for strep. I then asked if my husband and I could also be tested, and she later told us that all three of us tested positive. However, we were not shown the test results. She prescribed antibiotics for my son. I asked if she could also prescribe antibiotics for my husband and me, but she said she could not, which I understood. After leaving, I decided to seek a second opinion the same day. Another doctor tested all three of us for strep, and all of the results came back negative. That doctor also showed us the actual test results. To be thorough, we also went to Hoag Urgent Care later that same day for another test, and those results also came back negative for strep. Both places told us that what my son has is most likely viral and does not require antibiotics. I want to give Dr. Monfared the benefit of the doubt, but this experience was very concerning. I'm not sure if there was an issue with the testing process, the test kit, or some other explanation. It was frightening because I was very close to giving my baby--who is under 18 months old--antibiotics that may not have been necessary. This situation was especially disappointing because I had hoped she could become my son's pediatrician. It is very easy to make appointments, often even on the same day, the office is close to us, and she appears to be easy to talk to. read more

Dr. Alex is always so sweet and patient with my little one. We always leave our visit with a smile and complete understanding of any of our concerns. Staff is sweet and welcoming always offering stickers and lollipops after visit. read more

I'm 30 minutes away from this office but it's worth the drive. Doctors and staff are so caring , friendly and knowledgeable.

I have called more than 10 times and nobody has ever answered. My friend has also emailed many times and no response. Extremely unprofessional wouldn't recommend!! read more

Always puts my needs first, "Made me feel comfortable and informed, "Excellent bedside manner, "Promptly addressed my concerns, and "Highly skilled and knowledgeable. Thank you dr Marjan you are an exceptional physician who consistently provides outstanding care. They took the time to truly listen to my concerns, explained my diagnosis clearly, and developed a treatment plan that worked perfectly for me.

Kids are very happy this office! They are very wonderful and very patient with kids. Doctors and nurses are very friendly and show so much caring. They always have time for kids when I make an appt last min. You all are the best!!! read more

Dr. Monafred is very professional. We are thankful for the follow ups and care we receive.

Our Family has been patients of Dr. Lin & Dr. Young (retired) for 5 or 6 years. They recently moved to this practice in Foothill from RSM. I highly recommend this children's practice. The office is beautiful, the staff is pleasant, and most importantly the patients are not rushed through their appointments. Dr. Lin is very thorough and honest! Thank you for taking such great care of our kids! read more

ABC Children's Clinic - Pediatricians Near Me - Foothill Ranch, California

I am so thankful for the referral to this practice from our local neighborhood Facebook group. I scheduled my daughter for her annual check-up and vaccines last month with Dr. Monfared, and am so happy that I did. I had such an easy time making the appointment, her staff was so welcoming and personable both online and in person. I also liked that the Dr. took her time with us explaining everything and she actually seemed very down to earth, comforting and realistic with child raising, unlike the previous pediatrician we went to that came across strong and would be lecturing us left and right. My daughter left feeling very happy that she loves her new Dr. (She wasn't sure what to expect.) It makes it so much easier as she gets older, that she's comfortable with Dr. Monfared. I think she felt very intimidated of her last Dr. and her strong comments. read more

We have been going to dr Monfared for 6 years now ! She's the absolute best pediatrician in town ! Both my boys love seeing her. She made herself so accessible to answering her phone after hours. Always accommodates if my boys need to be seeing on the same day . read more

We love Dr. Monfared, we have been coming to this clinic for a few years. Dr. Monfared is so kind and caring, my girls love her. The staff is also great, everyone is very warm. They are also really good at getting us in quickly in emergency situations. read more

Wow hands-down amazing experience! Dr. Monfared is so kind and caring! I'm a new mom I just had my baby 7 weeks ago and we came in for a check up and she took amazing care of my son. I had such a great experience with her she has great energy and so helpful. Gave me great advice and showed so much care for my son. The staff is really kind as well! Highly recommend! Thanks Dr. Monfared! read more

Dr. Lin is very professional and good with kids. He took his time to explain things and we feel he treats young patients like his own kids.

We switched to Dr. Monfared this year (during Covid). I'm very pleased with her and her staff for their great care of my son during his past 2 visits! Dr. Monfared is so patient, caring, and conscientious during my son's visits. Her sweet bedside manner puts him at ease which I appreciate (such a positive experience compared to his previous pediatrician) so everything is a smooth process when she checks him out! Her staff are friendly and attentive when you check-in. They also accommodated a same day appointment which was very helpful! I highly recommend Dr. Monfared and her staff here at ABC Children's Clinic! read more

Dr. Monfared is an amazing doctor! We are always seen on time and she thoroughly listens to and tries to resolve any issues or concerns immediately. She gives her cell and promptly responds. She's also proven herself to be trustworthy and has the best intention for your child's health. She's a gem in this current healthcare system. You can rest assured that she'll be honest with you about the pros and cons of any treatment plans and will ensure your decision is well informed. In our experience she won't recommend any medicine or treatment for your child that truly isn't needed as she really cares about your child's well-beings read more

I really enjoyed ABC Children's Clinic. We have since moved away, but this was a really good place to bring my daughter. She was under a year when we first visited and 2 when we moved. We most often saw Dr. Alex whom was a wonderful doctor, very caring and good with kids. We saw Dr. Monfared a few times as well whom was also pleasant. read more

I love Dr. Monfared! She is my daughter's doctor for 8 years. She is a very good pediatrician and very friendly.

Love this pediatrician. I've been taking my son here since he was a baby, he's 6 now. Highly recommend for thorough checking for our kids.

I loved the staff, very kind. However, the doctor complained that my daughter cried through the appointment, she was irritated and kept telling me what did I do to make her this way. Not all kids like going to the doctor, I'm not sure why this is such a shock. Also, the doctor does not like to be called on her after hours call even if you are a concerned parent who thinks it is urgent. The doctor made it apparent that the after hour phone call bothered her. Love the look of the office, location. It was not a good match for us. I would write more but I prefer to not get too personal. read more

They have the nicest front office. They have expanded beyond Dr Marjan. Her NP Alex is amazing. He spent 50 minutes with my 2 yr old. They care like it is their own child. I would recommend them to anyone. My friend recommended them and I am not disappointed. Dr Marjan was there 4 hours after I gave birth to check on my daughter and for 2 almost 3 years I have never been disappointed. read more

How can I ever find a sixth star? Dr. Monfared, Lien and Yamileen have been just one FANTASTIC team. My sister found Dr. Monfared when her son was only a few months old, then along came my niece and Dr. Monfared continued to take care of them in such caring way for 6 years. She is the best Pediatrician my daughter could ever have, she came highly recommended when I adopted 2 years ago and we have been with her until last month, that we had to move out of state. We really didn't realize how lucky we were to have her and her team. We miss them very much and we wish them nothing but the best! read more

I have been taking my son to ABC Children's Clinic since he was born, and I have never once had any complaints about the care he has been provided! The doctor and staff are wonderful and very caring! Being mother's themselves, they put forth the best care towards my son. I am now expecting a second little boy, and he too will be taken to ABC Children's Clinic for his checkups! read more

This doctor and her staff are the best! I am NOT talking about baby/toddler care, but about my 12 year olds care. Everyone is welcoming and they were able to get past my daughters fear of doctors. This started a long time ago with a Kaiser doctor and over the years it had become almost impossible to get her to seek help. The doctor made my daughter feel at ease, frequently using her name, talking to her about the things she likes and dislikes. She spent time talking about the difficult path ahead with hormones, boys, the change of school. My daughter never talks about anything personal concerning her body or body image. By the end of the visit, I learned about how bad the pressure is to be "standard" even at the sixth grade level. The receptionist/medical assistant always is friendly, outgoing and kind. We have never had to wait more than 10 minutes. The doctor even told my daughter to call her if she had any questions about her body or her feeling. (Unheard of in this day and age). Fantastic practice read more

I took my daughter to Dr. Monfared this afternoon because she has been sick for 3 weeks. Dr. Monfared was courteous, respectful and most importantly listened to my concerns. I forgot what it was like to visit a regular doctors office after having 2 years of Kaiser. I'm so glad we ditched kaiser and came to ABC children's clinic. I highly recommend Dr. Monfared to anyone that is looking for a pediatric doctor! read more

We have been visiting ABC Children's Clinic since my daughter was three days old. The office is absolutely fantastic and we couldn't be more pleased! The front office is truly amazing. Whenever we have needed assistance with the insurance company, physician questions or general inquiries they are quick to respond and so friendly. Dr. Monfared is amazing. She is very patient, professional, knowledgeable, and gives us plenty of time to ask questions. Nothing but wonderful things to express about the practice! We trust Dr. Monfared completely with our daughter health and would never think of going anywhere else! read more

Great doctor. Intuitive and easy to talk to. She really cares about the kids. Staff is great !! Good location. Happy here.

Dr. Monafred and her assistant, Lien, are a throwback to the way a pediatrician (and staff) should care for their patients. They are extremely caring, attentive, and focused on the quality of patient care. Lien (Dr. Monafred's right hand) is excellent. There are very few who are as accomodating, friendly and sincere as she is; and she is gifted at making the vaccination process as smooth as she possibly can. As a matter of fact, there was a time that we were in the office so often that we just started to call her Auntie Lien. Dr. Monafred has gone above and beyond the call of duty every single time we have an encounter. She has come into the office early for us, offered to see us on the weekends, called to follow-up on our child's condition after hours, and does so with a smile. Not to mention, her diagnosis, prognosis and treatment have been spot-on every time. This is a doctor who truly loves what she does and her consistent dedication proves it. I feel so grateful that I have found such caring people to look after our son. If you are looking for a pediatrician in this community, do not pass up this one-of-a-kind class act. read more

My previous doctor's office was awful. Doctor's visits would take so long even with an appointment. Without an appointment, you are a criminal. So I searched and found ABC Children's Clinic. I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! My girls, 7 and 5, were super nervous about going to the doctor's office. They wanted to get the visit done and over with. Our appt was not until later afternoon. I call the office to see if we could get an earlier spot and they accommodated us. What? I am not used to having a doctor's office 'accomododate' us. We go in and I was filling out paperwork. Nurse, Lynn, came and introduces herself to my girls. That was so nice. She asked me if she can start with the girls and she did her magic to make my girls relax. She is awesome. Doctor comes in with such beautiful smile and I bet my kids were so relieved. She was very thorough with both kids and made my kids laugh throughout the appointment. I am so happy to have found an awesome pediatric office! read more

Dr Monfared and Lien are the most amazing duo ever! They are always there whenever the kids need anything. She is the best pediatrician my kids could ever have! I would recommend her to anyone!!! read more

Absolutely amazing! I have been to a few other Pediatricians, but no one has cared for my daughter the way ABC Clinic has. They really take the time to make children feel at ease when coming to the doctor and give great customer service. You can tell that they really care about their patients here. I am so glad that I found this place. read more

Dr. Monfared was actually the only doctor in our neighbor who would accept a new patient with the insurance I had for my children after we moved, so I didn't have high expectation. This makes us feel even luckier to have such a great doctor. I'm pretty sure that we would never find a doctor who has such a personal attachment to his/her patients. We would appreciate if the doctor can see our children until they stop seeing pediatricians. read more

Wonderful pediatrician. Her and her staff has been more then accommodating, friendly and caring.The receptionist got our daughter in quickly when she was sick. Also the pediatrician gives you her cell phone for after hours. We ended up calling her regarding a rash our daughter was having. She responded promptly and was able diagnose her as just having heat rash without us bringing her in(and saving us from worrying the whole weekend). Another thing I would like to note is they are very understanding as far as payments go and allow you to pay in installments and as you can. read more

The doctor and her staff are wonderful. I worked at a pediatric office before and have hired quite a few employees so I know how difficult it can be to find good employees but the staff at Dr. Monfared's office is truly amazing. I have a 9 year old daughter and my son is 13 so I wasn't sure if he would feel comfortable seeing a female pediatrician at this age but let me tell you, she made him feel very comfortable and my daughter loves her too. Dr. Monfared takes her time to answer any questions and concerns and I didn't feel like she rushed through the visit at all. She truly cares about her patients and I feel very lucky to have found her. read more

Excellent Pediatricians!!! She truly cares about her patients. My kids love her, they are teenagers now and they have been her patients since they were toddler. read more

I'm personally not understanding all these positive reviews. I just received a 3rd bill in the last 6 months for a well child check up. These are supposed to be free! Every time I call their office I am told it will be handled, but then I get another bill. I'm not sure if they are miscoding or if it's just their billing company but it's starting to get old. Am I the only one this is happening to? read more

We have been so blessed to have such amazing staff helping with the milestones of our two boys. We have been with this office staff prior to it becoming ABC Children's. Lien is the most amazing angel. I can call anytime and get my concerns answered. When my oldest had seizures, she was caring, fast responsive and amazing at following up. Dr. Monfared is the most wonderful doctor ever. She listens to you and wants to come up with a solution as well as keeps you informed on what to expect. I love that she isn't quick to prescribe meds. She was so patient when I needed a speech and occupational therapist and when I called her in tears over the referral my insurance gave, she acted fast went above and beyond and found me Beach Kids therapy. She even wrote a letter to have my insurance accept them. If you are looking for a doctor and staff that treats you like family please look no further. We have been with them for ten years in July. read more

I have been taking my twins to ABC Children's Clinic since they were born in August 2014, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the doctor and staff. They are highly competent, approachable, and kind. They treat their patients like family! read more

I have visited Dr. Monfared several times for both of my sons, during last two years. She is such a nice, kind and knowledgeable doctor. Sometimes I just call to consult with her about my kids over the phone, and she generously answers all my questions. I have seen that she even cures some patient for no money and spends the same time as the time she spends for me. My kids love her and we really respect her. read more

We were in town for vacation when our 3 year old daughter got sick. I googled nearby pediatricians in our insurance network and Dr. Monfared came up. When I called, the receptionist said that they were closing but would stay open if we could hurry in. We did and were so glad that Dr. Monfared was able to see us. She was great with our daughter and spent enough time with her to get an accurate diagnosis. This was obviously her first time with her but it felt like she'd been our regular pediatrician. Her nurse was great too. The doctor gave us her cell phone number and urged us to call if we had any other concerns before we returned home. I hope that our daughter won't get sick on vacation again but if she does, this is where we will go! read more
