Dr. Robert is always kind, gentle, and patient. Highly recommend. my baby feels so comfortable and happy during every visit.

They burnt my newborn with a PKU test by heating a wet diaper in the microwave. They were overwhelming unresponsive about it. Then wanted me to sign off on some bullsgit legal paper. read more

Dr Bob is a special one, who must be protected at all cost! We have had a wonderful experience here and he's a wealth of information; tune into his podcast, newsletter and read the books! read more

This review is for their appointment policy. I was sent an appointment reminder on a Saturday for a Monday appointment that I didn't have in my calendar (my part in this). I emailed and left a message within their 24 hour time frame, hoping I was okay to avoid their $100 cancellation fee. Well they called me today and said that because I contacted them on a weekend, I was still going to be charged $100. WHY SEND AN APPOINTMENT REMINDER ON A WEEKEND?! We are in the process of moving this week and to say I have been stressed financially, mentally and physically is an understatement. This just broke me today. Please update your system to give parents reminders during office hours. All your families are cash paying while also paying for insane insurance rates, just so they can give their children a safe place to be seen. While I have appreciated that - please consider that many of us don't have an endless supply of funds with the exorbitant cost of living in Orange County. read more

Front desk staff were friendly and efficient! They got us in a room right away. We didn't wait long once in a room. Nurse took all the vitals and information. Doctor saw us shortly after and was very thorough in his exam of our 2 month old baby boy. Answered all our questions and made us feel welcomed to his practice. Doesn't take insurance but was worth it for the peace of mind and non judgmental environment. Dr. Bob Sears is very knowledgeable and has written books on vaccines and everything you need to know to make an informed decision. Our current medical group, Hoag, told us they wouldn't see our son if he didn't plan to get shots even though it's not stated in their new patient packet. Dr. Sears accepts patients that choose to do what they think is best for their child. read more

Trustworthy, authentic, and very knowledgeable. Listens to parents. We need more MDs like him in California.

We had been looking for someone we trust 100% and we found it in Dr.Bob. He takes time with you and is interested in answering any questions you have. We drove over 2 hrs and it was well worth it! We are so grateful to have found this office. read more

Great doctor and family run office! Easy to get in with same day sick appointments. Very efficient staff. We have never had to wait long to see the doctor. Very knowledgeable. We so grateful to have found him! read more

We had an incredible experience. It's what bringing your child to the doctor should feel like.

The best! He listens and has a wealth of knowledge, highly recommended. We have been going to him for years and he always has been there for questions, answers and solutions. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Sears as your pediatrician. He listens and provides optimal baby health care unlike most other doctors. The office visit is always quick in and out! read more

We have been taking our sons to Dr. Bob Sears & Sears Pediatrics for over 16 years & wouldn't go anywhere else. Every single time that we've had an appointment or consultation with Dr. Bob Sears, he has paid full attention to our concerns, has taken the time to explain things in a way that we could understand & he has given us the best advice. It is obvious that Bob Sears genuinely cares for the well being of all of his patients. He doesn't just go through the motions or rush you out, like some other doctors do. We will always be thankful for all of the advice he has given us over the years. He is the best! read more

I've had my share with poorly trained doctors and also had gone through a handful of pediatricians when I had my children 8 years ago. Through trial and error we found dr. Sears. Dr. Bob Sears is a godsend. We drive 80 miles to take my kids to see him. He is thorough with the well visits and undeniably knowledgeable with everything pediatric related. He will point you in the right direction if your child needs a specialist. He is patient, calmly spoken, and will suggest what's right in his professional opinion for your child. I'm fortunate My children are generally very healthy, but even the slightest symptoms he does not take lightly. When my son was an infant, he would have itchy little bumps on his calf, comes and goes, sometimes ok sometimes not so good. My son would scratch it occasionally. Over the counter Creams doesn't really help it completely go away, it was there for 4-5 months. when dr. Sears saw my son's calf, he immediately suggest We avoid dairy. My son would drink goats milk and cow milk at the time. And when we tried it, My son's calf was clear in 1 week!! Another time, My son had a funny nail growth, that was persistent and sometimes is red and itchy. It bothered him. When we saw Dr. Sears, he suggest we get it tested for fungus with a specialist (highly recommended dermatologist in irvine). We followed his recommendation; saw the specialist, it was not Mold, but instead she said it was eczema, prescribed perfect cream and again, gone In 1 week. We trust Him and feel that he'll always be there for our family with our children's health as his best interest. Thank you Dr. Bob! read more

If I could leave 10 stars I would. I could cry writing this review just based on the fact that I am so deeply grateful to live in a world where the Sears family of pediatrics existed. Everything I've come to know about the Sears family in medicine has been parent first to support them to do what is best for their child and their family. I appreciate our check ups because all my questions are answered with care and concern. I never feel like my questions are dumb or annoying and my child is thriving due to their guidance during many communicable illnesses my son has had in his early life from Influenza, colds + flus, stomach flu's, rsv, covid and more. If you are looking for a doctor to treat you and your children like you are people and not numbers - this is the place. I will forever be eternally grateful to Dr Sears for everything he stands for and his calm approach to educating parents on the day to day of raising a human being read more

Amazing doctor. We are so blessed to have him as our pediatrician. He spent a lot of time evaluating our toddler and giving sound advice.

Great doctor that can be trusted. Kind office staff. It's an Easy location and parking is simple.

My review is a few months over due.. here is why... my 4 year old has dealt with severe eczema since she was 1. I have seen every doctor and every specialist possible to try get the help we need. Our family sacrificed a-lot for this appointment and we had really high hopes that maybe we would get some answers from such a well known doctor. Since she had used every steroid available I really wanted to go it as natural as possible and hopefully get to the root cause. We walked in to Dr Sears office, no wait which was great. The office ladies were incredibly kind, another reason I gave 2 stars. However, we were in his office for maybe 5 minutes, possibly less, and he took a look at her skin and really had no answer for me. Simple a piece of paper with a bunch of other doctors I could try and take her to. That wouldn't bother me, I get it, you can't help everyone - except for the fact I was charged $220 for this appointment. I honestly couldn't even believe I was being charged for the shortest most uninformed appointment I have ever been to. Thankfully I found another doctor that actually took care of her, took time with her and was able to find the root cause and heal her skin in 6 months!!! Unfortunately it wasn't Dr Bob Sears. The reason I wanted to wait to write this review was to not just write an emotional review but actually check and see if she was able to find healing or if it was just something she would live with. read more

For some reason my review from years ago was removed was removed so odd. Here is an updated review. My family has gone to see this clinic many times over the years. The First time with DR Vivi and then Dr Jim. We wanted to get DR Bob but apparently he is quite polular. Eventually we saw DR Bob. All of the doctors and staff there are really great and always is good experience for the kids. Our medical coverage doesn't cover this so we had to pay cash. Even paying cash for their service is fine as it is affordable. read more

I just had to give a huge shout out to the entire office of Dr. Bob Sears. In any communication or visit they are just so kind, caring, and compassionate. I'm very grateful for each and everyone of you. My girls feel welcomed and comfortable with each visit and it's warms my heart. read more

Our kid grew up as Dr. Bob's patient - (as a baby was with Dr. Bill - also great). I have been incredibly lucky to have this doctor who has helped figure out a couple of issues of great concern to us. He has a way with cutting through the emotional concerns and figuring out how answers to health issues that are accurate and healing. He has prescribed the meds we've needed along with suggesting health-building diet and practices. His scientific methods and holistic leanings are such a fresh approach to modern health practices. It's worth the drive for us. I also really like the office's emailing system - great for getting back and forth discussion about a health issue before and after an appointment. read more

Dr. Bob Sears....thank you so much for being so friendly and caring to our precious children. You've seen all 3 of our boys and I'm always appreciative of how invested you are in their health, especially when there are scary moments and they need more oversight and expertise. I've found you to be thorough, contemplative, and efficient with our appointment slots. I'm sure you're a doctor in high demand and yet, I've never waited more than 10-15 mins to be seen. Most doctors have a wait time of 30 mins minimum it seems these days with no acknowledgment of time waiting. So thank you for your time management and for respecting our time as well. Last and certainly not least, I adore Cheryl, your wife and nurse who has been the nurturing, empowering voice that I've needed to hear in moments of pure worry and discouragement as a mama in distress during critical times of need for my children. Thank you both for making yourselves available to me and for taking such great care of my sons. I've found your advice to be solid and I'm grateful that you take the time to answer all my questions big and small as a mama. To those of you wondering what might be find different about Dr. Bob, he is a gem in pediatric care. One might never even know how well-known he is in the field with the way he is in person and how is office is. It's a down-to-earth office setting with the focus being kept on the care of the children. Here are a few pics from my son's 6 month check up. My boys love Dr. Bob and Cheryl! read more

See all

He is a very good doctor. Thorough and thoughtful. We brought our daughter to him after Kaiser told us there's nothing wrong with her. Hev diagnosed her with developmental delays and we started getting services to help her. He's the doctor to go to. read more

We have been going to Dr. Sears since my daughter was born. She is 7 now and we have visited Dr. Sears and his staff for every single visit. He takes time to answer all of your questions and never rushes you. He is patient with your child and caring. We were so lucky to have found him. I wish all doctors had his bedside manner. read more

I am re-submitting my review from a few years ago of Dr. Bob Sears, as I just got notified that a moderator has removed it. My son is now almost 8 years old and Dr. Sears has done all his wellness check-ups and sick visits. Here is the original review: My midwife recommended us to Dr.Bob Sears. He is the first and only pediatrician my son has ever seen since he was born. We have always been so pleased with his calm, kind demeanor. He is super knowledgeable and we have learned a ton from him. I think we have become more relaxed parents as a result of working with him. With your first child it's easy to get worried about colds and vaccines etc...he always guides and supports us in our decisions. His office staff and medical assistants are awesome, I can call anytime and they are there for us. When we ask my son if he loves Dr. Bob, he says "I do!" and so do his parents. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Dr. Sears and his office have been so helpful on every phone call, portal message, in person appointments, sick visits. I cannot tell you how happy and relieved we are that we found him and his office after our horrible horrible experience with our sons previous pediatrician. We switched from an office just a couple miles from our house, to driving to Dana Point all the way from Huntington Beach, and we will do it every time for our kids. Dr Sears and his staff are patient, kind, and are eager to give my husband and I the tools so that we can be self sufficient for our children's health, but also they are there as experts to guide us when things become more serious. We are even able to do phone sick visits for our kids when we are out of town, and they send over the prescription out of state. This office is truly an answer to our prayers and, especially in this day of age, exactly what is needed more of. read more

Dr. Sears is the only doctor I have ever and will ever trust with my sons health. He is by far the most educated, brilliant, and compassionate doctor I have ever encountered. Physicians should take a note from Dr. Sears and emulate his passion for patients (something lost in modern sick-care). We love you, Dr. Sears. read more

Dr Sears is the best pediatrician I found, I am a pediatric Nurse practitioner and I can tell that he really performs an assessment of his patients with detail. I also like that he listens carefully to all my questions and answers. He does not rush and takes his time to go over all my concerns. I am fully satisfied with his pediatric medical care for my daughter. Highly recommend him. read more

Dr Sears is an amazing pediatrician. He is patient and so good with the little ones. He truly has a passion for what he does and has a big heart. Cash only but rates are reasonable. read more

Dr Sears has good tech to communicate about everyday concerns. On the larger matters we can get a rush appointment and on low priority concerns we schedule the appointments out. read more

Came to him once my son turned 5 months and we love him so much. Changed our life forever! I drove 2 hours to see him and would do it again in a heartbeat! read more

I e never met such caring and understanding doctor like Dr Bob Sears. He is how other MDs should be , thoroughly observing their patients, and truly caring for them. I am so far from him but I'll make that drive just to see him. Best medical professional. read more

When you call you don't get to speak to anyone, you just have to leave a message once you get through their unnecessarily long phone directory system. Anywho, called 3 different times, left 3 different messages to book an appointment for my kid, no call back. I guess they don't need the business, but I figured at least a call back would be common courtesy. Not a lot a professionalism over here apparently. If that is any indication of how they run their office I don't think I want my kid to be a patient of theirs. read more

Hands down the best pediatrician you will find. Dr Bob and Cheryl give you and your family a personalized experience and go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of and all of your questions are answered. So grateful for them! read more

Great doctor. Helped lead us on the right path when my son was first diagnosed with ASD.

We are a fairly new patient to Dr Bob, but we are so glad that we are his patient!! He takes the time for you to ask questions during your visit. I never feel rushed. The office staff is so warm and helpful. I can't recommend Dr Bob enough!! read more

My children have been seeing him for almost 15 years. Absolutely the best Doctor. He genuinely listens. For those who think he is Anti Vaccine it isn't true! He is for informed consent. One of my kids has received vaccines and one has not after having a reaction. I had a baby in the ER twice while the previous pediatrician tried to tell me it was a fluke "twice" when it happened immediately after Hep B. Even the ER Doctor knew it wasn't. read more

Amazing experience with my child I will drive there again and again.My child was scared but he was very professional.We appreciate his study and going above for a pediatrician. read more

We love Dr Sears and will drive the distance to see him for appointments. We take both our boys to Dr Sears and really appreciate how he takes the time to answer all of our questions. He doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions and he does not pressure you into doing anything you are not comfortable with. We love that he truly cares about his patients and takes as much time as needed to explain vaccines, growth and development, nutrition, milestones etc!! read more

Best pediatrician one could ever ask for. I drive over an hour to bring my children to see him bc he's truly the best doctor you could ever imagine. He listens to all my crazy concerns and even checks them out to make sure it's just me being paranoid! Ha ha plus he's super open and totally listening to hear you out rather than "talk at you" and rush you. I truly feel sooo grateful to have him as our pediatrician. read more

A very intelligent, caring, kind and compassionate physician. He was great with my grandchildren. More physicians should practice as he does in a more holistic way. Being a good physician isn't all about knowing the latest trends in medications, it's about offering advice on healthy living and avoiding illness. Dr. Sears remembers what good practice is about. read more
