I have three kids and so a good, trusted pediatrician is very important to have. Dr. B is, by far, the most personal, attentive, and devoted pediatrician our family has ever had. He operates a private practice (which makes a BIG difference) in a new building just at the end of Mira Mesa Blvd. The location is minutes from our house and there is always somewhere to park, albeit parking is meant for people who drive small cars and not minivans.
We're always able to get in to appointments, the staff is amazing- and they even have made follow-up calls asking how my kids were after an injury!
Wait time is usually pretty decent- though I can always call and find out how the schedule is looking that day to find out if they are running late to save myself the wait.
Dr. B is always interested in answering questions, always interested in hearing my observations, and has never contradicted my philosophy of minimal medical intervention. It seems like it's so hard to find a doctor in California who doesn't give a hard time about home birthing, individualized shot plans, and homeopathic remedies. He has been the one doctor who doesn't immediately whip out the prescription pad when I say my kid has been sneezing or drooling snot for a week. What a relief to finally meet a doctor who is concerned that parents go through all the homeopathic options first before writing up a presciption for antibiotics.
He is great with the kids and my little ones never are scared of him or of going. This is saying a lot, since doctors' offices are the ones who give shots almost every visit for the first two years of their life!
The only trouble we've ever had with their office was the one day Dr B. was out and a sub doctor was in. I don't even remember her name, but she wasted my time by making me wait an hour and a half before seeing her, and then wasted it completely by not listening and not helping at all; she was also pretty rude. Needless to say, I will NOT go to a sub doctor next time.
Anyway- Dr. B. is amazing and the best pediatrician we could recommend to anyone who has children. read more
