This review is for Doctor Steven Abelowitz and the fabulous ocean pediatrics team…read more Yesterday, My daughter and I came in for a sick visit. She has asthma: started coughing non stop, dry heaving (severe enough to induce vomiting), and felt completely miserable. I called doctor abelowitz as symptoms worsened. We live closer to the Newport location, but I only trust Steve. He informed me that he was going to be in ladera, and I was happy to schlep out there as my daughter deserves the BEST care- Steve. He figured out the root of the problem, got his staff on top of dealing with the ins., so my daughter can get the proper medicine she NEEDS (ins. Denied coverage for the right med, and his wonderful team has been on top of getting it for approved for us.) THANK YOU to Stephanie (office manager at Newport), Michelle (Steve's medical assistant), Steve, and others for pushing her med through as medically necessary/emergency. I really appreciate the effort from all parties involved throughout this arduous process. That said, Steve truly cares about his patients. My daughter has had life threatening emergencies, and he has come to the rescue and saved my daughter's life on MULTIPLE occasions. No exaggerations here- i would swear on it- bible or Torah. In addition to that, He is warm, kind, and very knowledgeable. I always feel listened to, he always has great recommendations, and I feel as though he walks the perfect line between vigilant medical precautions and care with the realities of day to day parenting. Plus, he SO good with my little girl. I will never, ever see another pediatrician. You can tell he is passionate and loves what he does as he goes above and beyond for his patients and their parents. I am a big worrier when my kiddo is feeling under the weather. As a matter of fact, my go to Jewish mom yoga pose is 'worrier one' & doctor abelowitz has not only taken care of my precious daughter, but he has helped calm MY nerves whenever medical emergencies happen unexpectedly. I also find the practice incredibly well run and easy to deal with - the front desk staff is pleasant, the nurses are great, and I have never, ever had an issue with them not calling back. & They always call back same day. I KNOW my daughter is in good hands at ocean pediatrics and would recommend this practice to anyone.

If I had the ability to rate this business with zero stars I would. I chose this group to be my…read moreChild's pediatrician, specifically Dr. Reda, because majority of my friends recommended him/them. I'm sad to say that I no longer trust this group with my child's care after discovering the abundance of unnecessary vaccines that were given which were not required in order to attend California public schools. Instead of vaccinating my child with vaccines that were mandated by the California public school system first, the physicians decided to prioritize other vaccines that were not mandated. Unfortunately, now I'm going to have to rush getting my child vaccinated with the required vaccines because the office does not know California Public school policies. Despite me verifying verbally at every visit that this was required for school, I was still misled. Moving forward I will not trust any office to tell me which vaccines are required for California public schools, I will research this myself. Tough lesson that I had to learn. In addition, all of our appointments with Dr. Reda felt very rushed. Any questions that I tried to ask he answered with one word versus having a more thorough explanation for a first time mom. I should have switched earlier, but stuck with him because no one else seemed to have a problem. Once I started asking around, I discovered that all of my friends that had referred me to the practice had left for the very same reasons. Wish this was something that I would've talked about sooner. I'm writing this in hopes that the office improves their vaccination schedules and communication. It would've helped to have a plan out the gates for my child's vaccination schedule versus a fly by the seat of your pants and see what happens. In other words, a "don't ask questions" approach. It would also be nice to feel like you weren't being rushed in and out of the office.

All of the staff exude confidence in every type of interaction, even when Covid was an unexpected curveball. As a first-time mom, I interviewed several pediatricians in the area. I can only imagine how pediatricians get tired of being "interviewed" by nervous parents, but Dr. McNulty was very reassuring, even with my 'stupid' questions. She personally came to the hospital on a Sunday morning 12 hours after our daughter was born just to check on both of us. I am especially grateful for their attention to my postpartum. They are the only pediatrician's office I found in the area who has their doctors rotate being 'on-call' instead of sending after-hours calls to a service. I love how I get a call back from a Mia Bella doctor when I have urgent questions. It's so reassuring. We've been a patient for over five years, and we have always received outstanding care!

We recently had a disappointing experience with Mia Bella's pediatrician's office regarding billing…read morepractices. After a very brief appointment -- approximately five minutes -- during which Compound W was applied to treat a wart, our insurance was billed and paid the adjusted charges. We were then charged additional out-of-pocket fees on top of that. At the office's direction, we contacted their billing department to dispute the remaining balance due to the minimal nature of the treatment provided. Unfortunately, the charges were not adjusted. We understand healthcare has costs, and we respect medical professionals' time and expertise. However, we believe billing should be reasonable and proportionate to the services rendered. Because of this experience, we've decided to seek care elsewhere. We're sharing this so other families can be informed and ask detailed questions about treatment and billing upfront.

This review is long overdue, but I can't say enough about how much we love this practice!…read more​Dr. Mike, Dr. Bayless, and Ashley are truly top-notch providers and even better individuals. As a team, they have been an incredible support system for my children. They are a vital part of my "village," helping me make informed decisions about my kids' well-being without ever making me feel judged or unheard. ​Because they are parents themselves, they truly understand the anxiety that comes when a child is ill. Being a small practice, they are incredibly approachable; you never feel like just a number, but rather like family. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of the most precious little humans in my life!

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to Dr. Mike. He literally game my wife and I our 6 year…read moreold daughter back. Since my daughter was a toddler, she was always a strong, independent, and decisive little girl that always new exactly what she wanted and told you what was on her mind, but was also the sweetest and loving little girl who would shower us with love and constantly tell us how much she loved us. About a year and a half ago, my daughter had a Radical and Immediate shift in her personality (over night). All of a sudden, she couldnt make any decisions (couldn't express what she wanted to eat, what she wanted to play, etc...). She would literally be frozen when trying to make a decision. It was so bad, that for 1 1/2 yrs, she couldnt even tell us that she loved us, because she couldnt make a decision as to what "love" meant, and if she was feeling it. Our original Pediatrician first told us it was just a "phase", which I disagreed, but decided to trust the Dr's opinion over my gut. They didnt run any test, just told us she'll get over it. After 9 months, we brought her back, and again, and he then told us that he thinks it could be PANDA'S (a autoimmune neurological disorder), which absolutely terrified my wife and I. Mind you, he didnt run any test. Instead, he just wanted to prescribe our 6 yr old SSRI's. I honestly couldnt believe that his professional opinion was to give my freaking 6 year old SSRI's!!!. I event told him, this sounds like you are just wanting to treat the symptom's, as oppose to treating the underlining problem. Needless to say, that was the last time we went to that Dr. After seeing multiple Doctor's, Psychiatrist, and Therapist, they ALL wanted to give my daughter SSRI's. THAAANK GOD we finally found Dr. Mike. When we first saw him, he genuinely cared for our daughter. Before even considering prescribing our daughter any medication, he decided to do his due diligence, and ran Blood Test, Parasyte Test, and Heavy Metals Test. It turned out, that our poor little girl had Mold Exposure, Heavy Metal Exposure, and a Parasyte infection scaled on a 9 out of 10 of severity. Her immune system and gut biome was 'redlined" and overwhelmed. He immediately provided a prescription for the Parasyte, and gave us a bunch of vitamin supplements, and put us on a restrictive diet to get her healthy again. NO JOKE, within a couple of months, she had an immediate shift back to her original, loving, decisive self. Not to mention, it brought tears to my eyes hearing my daughter tell me she "loves me" again. As a parent, its your responsibility to protect your children. That includes protecting them from other people's negligence. If it wasn't for Dr. Mike, my daughter would still be going through a nightmare, and I cant begin to imagine how much worse it could have gotten. Our only regret, is that we didn't find Dr. Mike sooner, and save our daughter from a year and half of H*ll. Dr. Mike mentioned that he would be seeing adults soon. As soon as he does, I'm going to make him my primary. I am forever in his debt. I just hope he knows how grateful I am to him.

We don't normally see Dr. Courtney Jones, but we scheduled a newborn appointment with her because…read moreour regular pediatrician was out of town and we needed someone to evaluate a possible heart arrhythmia our midwife detected in our son. Dr. Jones personally said she could squeeze us in the next day specifically due to the concern -- but when we arrived, she dismissed the issue almost immediately. Despite our midwife and even we as parents being able to clearly hear the irregularity through a stethoscope and see it on a pulse ox screen, Dr. Jones insisted that no one could hear (not diagnose but HEAR) an arrhythmia without an EKG. She barely listened for a few seconds and said she couldn't hear anything. Dr. Jones refused to take our concern seriously and ultimately was really rude and arrogant in how she talked to us even though we were understandably concerned and emotional about the situation with our newborn. This was incredibly upsetting, as it was the entire reason for our visit and the only reason we scheduled with her in the first place. Unfortunately, the rest of the visit was equally disappointing. No one greeted us when we arrived, even though Dr. Jones and the receptionist were both sitting at the front desk and appeared unoccupied. We were then kept waiting for 30 minutes past our appointment time. When she finally saw us, she didn't introduce herself, made dismissive and rude remarks about our choices for basic medical decisions, and generally lacked warmth or professionalism. Their billing system is another major issue as other reviewers have emphasized -- they didn't take our copay at the time of the visit, and we still haven't received a bill weeks later. They also communicate using a Gmail address, which is not HIPAA-compliant, and fail to practice informed consent in any meaningful way. For comparison, our usual pediatrician and their team are incredibly warm, respectful, and professional. They greet us every time, take our concerns seriously, and offer comfortable seating (something that sounds small but really matters when you've just given birth!) and nursing accommodations. The experience with Dr. Jones and this office could not have been more different. We won't be returning.

This is the worst pediatricians office I have honestly ever experienced. We were originally seeing…read morea different Pediatrician at this office who was amazing and very thorough and unfortunately he moved and Dr Jones took over. She is not empathetic towards her patients at all. I have needed to come in for several reason for two of my children. She did not help either one of them and she also repeatedly missed that my son had problems with his vision. I would highly recommend seeing a pediatrician who cares more deeply about their patients and their needs. She seems like a very check the box person who is unable to emotionally connect with her patients and their family's.

I just wanted to take a moment to talk about Dr. Fahim. Honestly, he's not just a doctor; he's…read moretruly exceptional. He brings such a warm, personal touch to healthcare that you don't always find these days. From the moment you meet him, you can tell he's incredibly sharp and pays close attention to every little detail, but it's his genuine care for each child that really stands out. He treats every single one of his young patients with the kind of love and dedication you'd typically reserve for your own family, and it's truly reassuring. What I find amazing is how proactive he is. He's usually one step ahead, often anticipating any concerns or questions parents might have even before they're fully voiced. He has a wonderful way of putting your mind at ease, which, as a parent, is absolutely priceless. He's also incredibly committed to ensuring kids get the best possible health outcomes. If there's ever a need for another specialist or a second opinion, he's on it immediately, making sure every possible avenue for top-tier care is explored. He really goes above and beyond to make sure children are healthy and thriving. In a world where healthcare can sometimes feel a bit impersonal, Dr. Fahim is a shining example of what truly patient-centered care looks like. He combines brilliant medical knowledge with such genuine empathy and a fierce dedication to each child's well-being. We're incredibly lucky to have someone like him looking after our little ones! my daughters have been in his care for years now & during difficult times he was here for my family. He personally calls when labs come in & does follow ups even after my kids finish their medicine! He does urgent referrals when needed! I can't even put into words how grateful I am to have him as my daughter's pediatrician! I can't thank him enough
