Dr. Rosenfeld and her staff are great! We have been coming here for almost 11 years when it used to be under the direction of Dr. Monohan. All 3 boys' needs/medical attention always come first, and Dr. Rosenfeld has always provided them with the best care, as well as provided me with much information regarding their medical/nursing care. It helps that she is a mom of all boys, too! read more

My boys are patients of Dr. Kimberly Sprague at Childrens Medical Group. She is an awesome pediatrician and has a passion for working with children. This is evident in how she communicates directly with my boys instead of only with me (Mom). She has a great energy about her that put my boys at ease and made a potentially stressful situation (flu shots!) not so bad! Additionally, I feel that she is very competent and up to date on the latest information regarding pediatric care. I've been to enough different pediatricians throughout the 10 years I've been a Mom and can vouch that Dr. Sprague is one of the very best! Our family will be following her wherever she finds herself in the future... read more

I am really happy with CMG and Dr. Sprague. After trying out a "highly rated" pediatrician at a hospital and dealing with horrible customer service, we tried this local doctor's office. Always parking, clean facilities and easy to work with front desk. Dr. Sprague is very nice and attentive. I have called on numerous occasions, both during and after work hours, regarding typical "first parent worries," questions on high fevers, questions on random bumps, etc, and she is always so patient and provides calm instructions. I have no complaints, and trust my daughter's care to CMG. read more

This office is a joke! I called to make an appointment when my daughter was sick and we were leaving town and they couldn't get us in. They couldn't get a 2 month old baby in for an emergency sick appointment?!? What?!? Ok I get you're busy let's try again. This time I make the appointment a month out for her 4 month check up. I called Monday to see if there was anyway we can be seen sooner because we are going out of town and wanted her to be ok for traveling, they couldn't so we kept her original appointment. I called the day of to find out the exact time because I never got a confirmation call and was told they cancelled my appointment because the number they had on file was incorrect!!!! Are you kidding me?! We have been waiting all day for her 3 pm appointment before we have to drive up to Santa Barbara for the weekend and they cancelled my appointment because they wrote down the wrong number?!? This is seriously ridiculous! I'll be waiting for my $25 cancellation check in the mail...that is what you would be charging me if canceled without notice right??? read more

Dr. Socha is great, but the 1 star is for the horrible office staff. The receptionists are inattentive and incompetent. When I told them I had new insurance and asked if they accepted it, they said yes and made a copy of my card while continuing to talk to each other. I asked them again to confirm they accept it and they waved me off. Then, I got stuck with an $800 bill because they actually didnt take it (even though it was an anthem ppo). During the same visit, my infant son got vaccinations. After they were administered, I asked if it was okay to nurse him in the room. They said yes and then barged into the room two minutes later and kicked me out. I had to leave the room nursing my child. Stay away! read more

Love this pediatric clinic!! Great doctors & staff!! Good size waiting room. Always able to get appointments. Take care of patients quickly. Clean with lots of parking. I am so grateful this clinic is right in my in own backyard!! 5 stars for sure, 6 if I could!! The Hickory St location has closed as of 10/1/18, but are still in San Marcos with the same Drs. read more

My son has been a patient at this office since 2008. We absolutely love this place! We had Dr. Rosenfeld for the first 6 years, whom is very professional, caring, and non-judgemental. We have recently switched doctors due to Rosenfeld no longer seeing patients in the Esco office, she is more present in the San Marcos office. We now with Dr. Socha (So-Ha) (we have also seen since 2008 when Rosenfeld wasn't available), whom has also been hilariously a joy to have a visit with. Dr. Socha and the M.A. named Linda at the front desk are so family oriented that I call on them for anything and everything about my child and I update them frequently! The best Pediatrics Office in Escondido read more

We saw Dr. Kimberly Sprague and she was awesome. She really connected well with my 5 year old, who had pneumonia. My daughter, despite feeling not so great, was all smiles and laughs with "Dr. Kimberly". She was also empathetic and quick (without being "too quick"). read more

My 4 year old sees Dr. Sprague. She's extremely nice and very kid friendly always makes sure to be silly and make my son feel comfortable and takes his nervousness away. read more

This yelp is for Linda. All of the staff are helpful and nice at the Escondido location,but She is the reason I go to Children's medical group. She works at the front desk and is extremely helpful and sweet. Whenever I need help with anything for the children she is willing and eager to help. Thank you Linda!! read more

If I could give Dr. Traci Socha a negative star rating I would. This was by far the worst doctors visit I have ever taken my child to. I had already heard bad reviews from friends who had gone to her but figured it was worth a shot since the location of the office was convenient for me. After waiting an hour, Dr. Socha walked in to the room (not apologizing for the wait) says to my 7 year old " who are you?!". Then after my daughter answered the doctor said, "alright, what's wrong with you?!". My daughter was clearly suffering from allergies and I had to practically force the doctor to give me a referral for allergy testing. Her argument was "what are you going to do with the results?! Tear down your house?!". The visit continued with exchanges that were equally offensive and unnecessary. Needless to say, this doctor has no business being in a profession where she is required to interact with people, let alone children. Steer clear of Dr. Socha!!! read more

This was by far the worst doctor visit I have ever experienced! My baby had a very high fever for a few days, so we rushed her into the office. Jackie, the RN, was one of the rudest I've ever experienced. From the moment she walked in, she wasnt compassionate & super forceful with my baby. My baby didn't want to sit on the scale to get weighed, so after several attempts, she promptly said "come here" as we walked to the scale to weigh myself with & without the baby. My baby didn't want to lay down to be measured, and instead of her marking her head & then when her foot straightened, marking her foot, she just kept fighting her on the bed & pretended she couldn't even get a measurement while she was huffing & puffing. After seeing the doctor, he requested a urine sample to rule out a UTI, so the RN got the baby all set up. Of course either weren't happy with that. My baby ended up falling asleep on me after crying so hard & the RN would come in every 5 minutes to check for urine - (even though right before she started, my baby just peed, so it'll take more than 5 minutes to pee again!) she talked super loud to try to wake her & would say insensitive comments like "Can you just stick her hand in water to water to wake her up" & "Just put her down and make her walk around". I wanted to flip my lid, but I kept my cool the entire time & was polite. What's shocking was each time she closed the door, as she walked away, she said "Ohhh my gosh!!!" And grunted!! I don't think she realized I could hear her! Also, the office manager came in to check on paperwork. She asked us to complete the form to transfer medical records over, but my husband politely let her know we're not certain we will be switching doctors to this office. She repeated super offended "You're not sure?!!!!" and rolled her eyes and walked out. Dr. Rua was professional, but couldn't diagnose my baby. He was nice, but not worth dealing with all those unhappy employees to see him. Lastly, my husband went to get some water & overheard the nurses talking pretty loud & laughing about a child in the office. By their description, he knew exactly who they were talking about. Not professional & where's the confidentiality? read more

I called to make an 18 month appt for my kid, but mentioned a diaper rash problem. When it came time to go to the appt, it was not an 18 month appt. The appt was strictly for the diaper rash, not what I asked for. I named off things that I thought it might be. I said I recently switched baby wipe brands and that seemed to help. I then had to change his poopy diaper infront of Dr. Sprague. I even said that I was using the old wipes. Once I finished and she saw the diaper rash, she said "I think it's strep" and sent off a prescription. Since "I think" is not an actual diagnosis, I didn't give him the medicine. We went back and I asked for a test to confirm. Dr. Sprague tried to make me feel stupid for asking for the test but she gave in and did the test. After calling and asking for results, they called back saying he didn't have strep. So it truly was just a bad reaction to the wipes. I instantly switched doctors after that. I then was forced to pay $150 for both appointments. I should have just paid the $20-30 for the canceled appointment. read more

Dr. Socha, Sprague, and Rosenfeld are all fantastic. We have been coming to their offices for 10 years.

All the doctors at Children's Medical Group are caring and professional. I have been taking my children there since they were born (they are now tweens). I would recommend them to anybody. read more

This was my first visit to the office. I was told the Doctor that I waited 3 weeks to see, would not see my son ( for a regular physical) due to the fact we do not vaccinate. I was never informed that the office has this "rule" & have never had any problems elsewhere. The receptionist never asked to bring in vaccination records at the time I made the appointment. They also have no postings in their office or online stating their rule, which is discrimination! read more
