He gets sick kids in the very same day you call if you need it and when you leave a message for him he calls back the same day and even offered for me to call his cell phone over the weekend if my daughter was still sick rather than going into an urgent care. He deeply and truly cares for his patients. Having the peace of mind to know I can take my 2 little ones in the very same day I reach out is extraordinary because they get sick a lot and sometimes very sick very quickly. He knows his stuff and we will be his patients for many years to come.

Our family has been with Dr. Lowen for the past eight years, and I can't imagine a more thoughtful,…read morecompassionate, and thorough pediatrician. She has cared for our kids through every season of childhood, and every single visit feels personal and unrushed. She listens deeply, asks the right questions, and truly sees our kids. We always leave feeling understood, supported, and cared for. As parents, we feel incredibly fortunate to have her guiding their care. She balances medical expertise with warmth in a way that is rare and so appreciated. The only sad part is knowing that once they reach adulthood, they will have to move on to an adult practice. If we could keep her forever, we would! I recommend Dr. Lowen and Coastal Kids wholeheartedly to any family. She is, without exaggeration, the world's best pediatrician, and we're endlessly grateful for the impact she's had on our children's lives. The office staff is also top-notch! Everyone there is extremely friendly and exceptional at their jobs.

I had daily panic attacks and (unbeknownst to me) raging OCD. Dr. White ignored my concerns and medication questions. Instead, he told me to "just take a shot or two of vodka when you feel that way." Well, I was 20 and had enough sanity to know that was crazier than the panic attacks. Luckily, I aged out of his care soon after. It's been a few years and while it makes me laugh to think how absurd and unhealthy that recommendation was, I think it's important for other people to know who's hands their putting their kids in. Do not recommend.

Let me tell you Dr Nichols is the best pediatrician out there. My son had a medical emergency last year where we called for an appointment while at the hospital. It was late and she took it upon her to see us. The entire office was already closed. She treated his symptoms and I couldn't be more thankful. She communicates with us and follow up with emails. Whenever we are there to see her she is never rushed And always tries to pinpoint and think of all possible causes. Her kindness and dedication to her patients is truly appreciated. He is now 17 and I actually fear of finding another doctor. I hope coastal pediatric will continue seeing him as long as they can after turning 18.

It was frightening to feel my body slipping in ways no one could fix, especially throughout my 40s and 50s. Eventually, I knew I needed someone who would truly listen, so I searched for a new primary physician. That's when I found Dr. Swami. He changed my life. He didn't rush through appointments or give me the same generic answers I'd heard before. He took the time to figure out what my body actually needed. It wasn't easy--we went through several medications --but he never gave up on me. And slowly, the right combination worked. That kind of dedication is rare. A doctor who genuinely cares, who fights for your health the way you wish every doctor would. Sadly, they're not easy to find--but I'm grateful every day that I found one. I highly recommend Dr Swami.

Staff didn't want me to lose any visit time so they let me fill out the new patient forms after I met with her...

Ashley the NP came up with a treatment protocol that none of the ER drs had even suggested.

They got him in to see Dr. Melman the same day. Dr. Melman was very thorough and was concerned for a more serious injury. He sent us to the ER to get a CT scan. The ER doctor was brisk and dismissive and refused to do the scan. So we went home. The next day Dr. Melman called me directly and was not happy that the CT scan had not been done. He directed us to a pediatric ophthalmologist. Long story short, my son had an orbital fracture with muscle entrapment that required eye surgery at UCLA. It needed to be done in a timely manner to prevent permanent damage. Dr. Melman continued personally following up with us through the whole process of hospitalization, surgery, and afterwards. We will be forever grateful that he recognized the clinical signs, took it seriously, and followed up. If not for him, our son may have had permanent eye damage. I can't thank him enough!!
