Clean office. Semi friendly staff Wait time is horrible. It was a slow day(me and another patient in the waiting room). And waited over 45 mins to even be called back. Got here 5 mins early for Childs appt and still waited. Why would you schedule patients for certain times and not honor or respect patients time? I have other kids and the lack of respect this office has is a disappointment. On top of that the Dr is horrible!!!! She didn't even say goodbye at the end of the appt she ran out the room and left us wondering if the appt was over. She was so unprofessional. I truly felt like another number, someone's insurance she can bill. Not anymore! On to the next Dr. read more

I came here last Wednesday with my daughter to get her ears pierced. She is 2 1/2 so I knew she was going to cry but I thought she was going to be more excited. First I paid $120 which is a little steep but I knew my daughter was going to be in great hands. My daughter and I were placed in a room and one of the nurse gave me a placard of all of the earrings that I could pick for my daughter. I picked the smaller gold earring for April's birthstone. The doctor came in and explained everything to me. She gave me an ear cleaning solution to use on my daughter at home and she showed me the earrings and then I realized they were too small. I asked the doctor if I could get the bigger size and she got them. I really appreciate that. The doctor cleaned my daughter's ears 3 times on each side and used a marker to mark where the earrings would go. I was happy with the placement and the doctor even asked if I was comfortable holding my daughter and I was. The doctor pierced the 1 ear and my daughter started crying and then switched to the other side and pierced the other side. My daughter was crying for quite some time and she was very angry at me on the ride home. Almost a week later her ears and piercing looks great. I am thankful for the staff here for doing such a great job on my daughter's ears. I would definitely come here again for my future daughter's ears. Thank you Dr. Liu and staff. read more

Annette Liu, MD - One side of my daughter's ear pierced with jewelry - Pediatricians Near Me - Carson, California

An update if you need to get one ear re-pierced: one of the earrings fell off my baby's ears and I called to see about getting the one ear pierced. Lady on the phone explained I would still need to pay full price as all items have to be opened and on top of that, their price went up to $165 this year. I previously paid $135 & later $150 for both my daughters two separate years. It's unfortunate because things like this happen often I'm sure and the fact that I have to pay full price for one ear sucks. Will be searching for another place that can help me with my baby's ear. This in no way changes my opinion about the great service I received both times with my girls and the friendly and courteous service I received from the doctor and nurse. I also do understand that they have these "sets" they use that have to be opened and they believe that is why charging full price is reasonable and fair. I just wasn't expecting to not only pay full price but now $15 extra as their prices increased yet again. I can't justify spending that much for one ear. read more

See all

My husband and I came here to get my daughters ears pierced. They had a nice selection of earrings and the process was quick and seamless. Dr Liu was very kind and gentle with cleaning her ears and making the mark for the pierce hole. We left with cleaning solution as well. The nurse held our daughter so we were able to let the process happen without worrying about holding her still. It's really hard these days to find a doctor that does ear piercing so I am so glad we found Dr Liu read more

I made an appointment to have my daughter's ears pierced for the first time. The process was easy. The front and back office made me feel comfortable, which put me at ease and my anxiety decreased. One of the nurses held my child while I attempted to distract her. This was an epic fail on my part. The Dr. was quick & in control. She's a PRO-fessional and I appreciate it. Thank you for a great experience staff. read more

Friendly staff. Doctor was amazing. Appt did not feel rushed, which for me is important. After care instructions were clear. read more

Dr Liu is very gentle sweet and listens to what the parents are asking. She is a good listener. Highly recommend!

My daughter just got her ears pierced here today and it was a good experience the MD is very knowledgeable, she is very nice and experience. I love my daughter so I would never take her to Claire's, so I took her to the very best thank you so much doctor! read more

My 6 month baby girl got her ears pierced & let me point out the ladies were very nice and professional ! I loved how clean this place was, the dr was very polite and explanatory on the procedures, overall the experience was great. Thanks Dr read more

This pediatrician was recommended to me by my OBGyn, since I was pregnant with my first kid and was looking for one. I am so glad I went with them. They are so kind, patient and make sure you leave that office with no questions or concerns. Being a first time mom, Doctors Liu and Lee really made me feel at ease. I have recommended this doctor's office to everyone and they agree, these 2 are the best pediatricians in the area. The nurses are also so polite and welcoming. Also, I have never had to wait more than about 10 min. And I have been coming here for 3 years now. I had recently lost my medical plan that allowed me to come here, and I ended up looking for a new job that provided HMO so I can come back ... That's how good they are!! Almost forgot to mention, I also got my daughter's ears pierced here. Everything was in a new package, so I felt good about everything being clean and sanitized. read more

I was looking to get my two month old daughter's ear pierced and found Dr. Liu. I was able to make a same day appointment which was nice. I was told they do ear piercings on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Over the phone they told me the price for the piercing, which also included the earrings, so I was well aware beforehand. Dr Liu was very kind and professional. She answered any questions we had and let us make sure we liked the placement marks she had made on my daughter's ears before she pierced them. The nurse held my daughter for the piercing and both her and Dr. Liu made it as positive of an experience as they could (needless to say I don't think any baby likes the piercing process). When we were leaving the nurse came back to check up on us and the baby which was very sweet. I have very pleased with my experience and would totally recommend! read more

Went to her for when my daughter wanted to get her ears pierced and she did a great job. My daughter's ears are sensitive so we got great tips on cleaning and proper care. There was some slight puffing and continuous sporadic bleeding for close to a year but with the proper care it never got infected. read more

Dr Lui is the sweetest doctor ever. I was looking to get my 3 month old daughters ears pierced and I didn't want to just go anywhere or with anyone. I knew I wanted a pediatrician to do it. I used yelp and found Dr. Liu from the moment you walk in her office the staff are sweet and professional. When we met with Dr. Liu she explained everything and even explained the after care. It made me feel even better. She did an amazing job. It was a little pricey compared to other places, but I rather pay more to know it's done safely and correctly. read more

After a number of research, I decided to pierce my child's ears with Dr. Liu Annette. I was very excited when I arrived to the clinic because it was very clean & easy to check in (appointment is required). A nurse kindly showed us to our room (Privacy, YES!) and showed us our options for earrings, which was very limited(only bummer). Within minutes, Dr. Liu Annette arrived and was very friendly. She explained the process and also home care cleaning process and made sure that I was confident with all the information. She was very patient with my child (2 months, with vaccinations) and also confirmed with me if the placement of piercing was okay prior to the actual piercing. The whole process was fast and smooth. Due to the reviews, I chose this place rather than the stores at your local shopping center that offer piercings. I trusted the Doctors experience and the sanitation of the facility. Now going on to 2 months with the piercing and they are healing great. $105 - Piercing, earrings, & cleaning solution read more

Excellent Pediatric ear piercing services, which Dr. Liu performs herself! I live in Orange County, and decided I was not going to risk having a mall employee at Claire's do something this important. I also did not like the reviews I saw regarding tattoo parlors that perform kids' ear piercing, and the small handful of Pediatricians in OC that perform this service require you to be their patient first. Dr. Liu does not require this, and performs ear piercing for non-patients too. Dr. Liu was great with my daughter and eased her fears. She includes beautiful stud earrings which are gold plated to avoid skin reactions. My daughter enjoyed picking from the big variety offered to her. Dr. Liu drew dots on both ears and made sure we were both okay with the location before she performed the piercing. She also provided antibacterial gel and clear after care instructions. Well worth the $120 and drive to Carson! read more

My daughter recently had her ears pierced by Dr Liu. She's 16 months old and probably too old to get them done lol. Because she was very suspicious about the whole ordeal. The process was easy, pick the earrings, doc marks ear and asks what you think...I asked her to change location. Then the drama started...the poor nurse holding my big girl...and my poor baby was crying. Well maybe screaming...the nurse and doc were patient. Earrings look great and not at all red or irritated. Using the cleaner 2x/day. Just unclear about training stud, but I'll ask in questions for answer. $105 for earrings, piercing and cleaning solution. $95 for patients. Btw, she was totally fine after and as soon as we got out of the office, she was totally back to normal! read more

Amazing staff and doctor I also love a clean office. I'm soo happy I found her, I was on a hunt looking for the right doctor who shows she cares and also very detailed with everything . ( highly recommended ) read more

Amazing doctor!! She always takes her time to explain and answer any questions. The staff and the nurses in the office are equally great. They always treat my daughter great and every visits we had has been a great pleasure. We are very happy we found Dr Lui. read more

I took my 11 month old to get her ears pierced. The staff was so nice and the facility was very clean. Dr Liu was very gentle with my baby and explained the process thoroughly. The process was so quick! They only let one parent in for the process due to covid, but the doctor allowed my husband to switch for the procedure. It was pricey, but I didn't mind due to the decreased risk of infection and cleanliness. I would highly recommend again. read more

Dr. Liu did an amazing job with my daughter's ear piercing. My mom and I drove 2 hours to get to her with traffic. It was totally worth the drive! Her staff was very nice and I felt safe with all of the precautions they took. My baby did cry, but it was to be expected. I would highly recommend her. read more

My daughter has been with Dr. Lu for 7 years. Very friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. These seven years had been nothing but positive comments for her and her staffs. Most importantly, my daughter loves Dr. Lu as well. read more

I took my daughter for ear piercing and Dr. Liu is so thorough. You'll start with choosing the earrings and then she'll go over with after care instructions and makes sure you do not have other questions before proceeding. You can hold your baby or have a nurse hold the baby for you ( there's a proper way of holding). It's true that she does it one ear at a time but she does it perfectly. Also, you can nurse after since they take you to a room which you can't find it somewhere else. read more

She's been my son pediatrician since birth! He's a teenager now lol, her office is always clean, has tons of parking and the receptionists are always on it, getting us in if need be! She's attentive and great bedside manner! Just everything I could ask for in a pediatric doctor ‍ her office is like family to us! read more

I don't know how to begin Dr.lee is absolutely amazing she's so gentle and kind my son has been going to dr.lee since he was born , my son is almost 2 now, and Dr.lu once saw my son because Dr.lee was booked and she was just as wonderful I'm so happy with both pediatrician's they deserve 20 stars read more

Dr. Liu was very professional and explained care piercing procedure to us. She provided the earrings and cleaning solution for my 3 month old baby for the price of $95. I was able to nurse my baby afterward in a clean and safe environment before leaving the office. Thank you Dr Liu. read more

Annette Liu, MD - Pediatricians Near Me - Carson, California

My first impression with dr. Liu was beyond my expectation. I'm kinda skeptical in the beginning because the staff doesn't invest time to acknowledge my little ones. They're not bad at all but I expect more like children friendly environment. None of them acknowledged my little one or at least offer here some stickers or anything. if they don't have stuff to give a way (no problem) but acknowledge THE PATIENT. I worked in a pediatric setting too so I expect more on this type of office. Dr. Liu has a very good demeanor when talking to my children, very thorough on her exam and She takes her time explaining as if we were the only ones there. Very knowledgeable and not pushy for her opinion. My daughter felt comfortable with her right away. I was nervous because my daughter was so used to her pediatrician since she was baby but Dr. Liu manage to win her heart. I would recommend dr. Liu who needs a pediatrian. read more

I decided to finally get my 6 month old's ears pierced. I was surprised to call on Tuesday (day after Christmas) and manage to get a same day appointment. The location is easy to find, right off the 405 in front of the civic center, and there's free parking. The waiting area is clean, open and has a little area for the kids to play. I paid the $85 and waited for Dr. Liu. I first chose the earrings, which are either gold or surgical stainless steel. There are many different colors a couple different styles. You also have to sign a waiver. The Dr. finally came in and she was delightful. She explained the process, how to care for the ears (fee includes healing solution), and the fact that she has done hundreds of piercings. She thoroughly cleaned my daughter's ears with alcohol and marked them, taking her time. As expected, my daughter screamed bloody murder both times. I'm very happy with having gone with Dr. Liu. Sure it might cost a little more but you have piece of mind since it is a kind and knowledgable doctor piercing your precious baby's ears. Skip the mall and check her out. read more

Dr. Liu is always so patient and kind. Being a new mommy. I have a lot of questions. And she's always willing to answer all of them. I really appreciate her expertise and professionalism. The staff is amazing and kind. The facility is clean and organized. read more

I brought my daughter here for ear piercing, because I didn't want to take her to a random place in the mall. Dr. Liu explained everything very thoroughly and was absolutely lovely. The staff was very kind as well. Completely worth the $85! Thank You! read more

Due to covid there is no where to get babies ears pierced but luckily I found Dr Annette. Worth the price, I felt better going to a medical professional rather than a place in the middle of the mall. I had no idea pediatricians pierce ears. read more

Doctor Liu is the best. We started seeing Doctor Liu about a year ago and could not be happier. She is very caring and compassionate. She takes her time with each patient and is sure to answer all of our questions. We are first time parents and wanted to be involved in the health care decision for our child. She allows me to ask questions and discuss pros and cons to the decision we make. We never feel pressured or rushed. I truly feel like Doctor Liu cares about her patients and there well being. I would and have recommended several friends and family. If you are on the fence with your current pediatrician, visit Doctor Liu and see for yourself. Let me close by saying, I am a tough sale when it comes to doctors. I am tired of the "rotating door" doctors who only care about seeing as many patients in a day as possible. This is not the case with Doctor Liu, she is great! read more

When looking to get my daughters ears pierced I obviously wanted to go to the best. What better place to go than an actual pediatrician? When I found Dr. Liu on here I was pleasantly surprised because she was my pediatrician when I was little. Naturally I was all for it- I was able to call and make an appointment same day which was great! The nurse that gave me the options of earrings to choose from was so sweet. The process was quick and we were given a cleaning solution afterwards with care instructions. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because I was told the price was $85 over the phone and it ended up being $95 when I got there- other than that everything was great! read more

Highly recommended for ear piercings!!! I did have to wait awhile to be seen. I'm not sure if it was because she had a lot of patients, but it was worth the wait. She's a pediatrician, so I felt at ease with her piercing my daughters ears. read more

Dr. Liu has been seeing our son since he was only a few weeks old. We moved to the South Bay soon after he was born and we are so thankful to have met her! We were so nervous about switching pediatricians but now that we are six months in, we can confidently say that Dr. Liu is so much better than his previous doctor. She is caring, thorough, and always able to answer any questions. Dr. Liu is also extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to breastfeeding. As a first time mom, I was so appreciative of this. Her staff is also very helpful and great at scheduling appointments or leaving messages for the doctor. We have had no problems making last minute appointments when something comes up. Her office is always kept clean and the wait time is never too long. Thank you Dr. Liu! read more

Clean & professional. Had my daughter's ears pierced here, and everything went great.

I took my baby to Dr. Liu to get her ears pierced. She was gentle, efficient and the price was reasonable. We were charged a price that included the cost of the piercing, earrings and cleaning solution. It was definitely a better alternative than going to Claire's and letting some high school girl pierce my baby's ears. read more

Frustrating experience here. This office disappointed my daughter and she left in tears. I made an ear piercing appointment for my daughter and she was really looking forward to it. It took 50 minutes in traffic (not to mention the price of gas) to get to the office. We waited for 15 min in the waiting room as the front desk staff tried to unsuccessfully charge my credit card and then my debit card due to their machine being offline (apparently they had a power outage earlier). They asked if I can reschedule for the end of the week, which is a huge inconvenience for me to rearrange my schedule and drive out there again. Or I can drive to the 7-11 and get cash from the ATM machine there (I wasn't carrying $150 cash for the ear piercing). This did not work for me as I would've been charged an ATM fee and then another fee from my bank for using a non-bank ATM. I understand that they had no control over the power outage but I can think of other options, rather than SHIFT THE BURDEN TO THEIR CUSTOMER! They could have made a simple quick phone call prior to my appointment time to let me know that it's cash only and I would've factored that into my schedule and stop at an ATM/bank. They could've made a phone call to their payment processor and process the transaction over the phone with my credit card info. They could have written down my credit card info and input it later when their machine is back online. Instead, they made it obvious that my time was not valuable so we left with no ears pierced. read more

my son and I love Dr. Liu.. She takes the time to listen to me and understands my son's issues... It feels like she actually cares about her patients. The office is great and the girls in the front are wonderful! read more

Dr Liu is wonderful. I felt like she really cares about my children and can relate since she has young one(s) too. And unlike some pediatricians she was pro-breastfeeding and I had no problem asking questions about it and sharing stories. The office is huge with plenty of waiting areas and never a long wait even if you come as a walk-in. The staff is very patient and enjoyable. And if Dr Liu isn't available there is another doctor or two that can be seen. read more

She's very friendly and helpful. I really liked how she spoke to my son about his health and it wasn't just about us but we all had to work together. read more
