Dr. Sangeeta Patel at Docs for Kids has been our family pediatrician for over 16 yrs. She is the jewel of Orange County! Our family drives from Corona just for her wonderful care. Her office is always welcoming, clean, and running on time. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. We always receive a follow up phone call after "sick visits". Her entire office staff is amazing! My daughter (pictured below with tears) is terrified of shots...she is always treated with gentle patience. All of my children trust & love Dr Patel (and her office) -- and I do too!

Dr. Patel is a awesome pediatrician ! I have been going to her since my first child 6 years ago . She has taken great care of all my 3 babies . Even days later when my kids got medicine , they follow up and call to make sure there ok . She has even called me herself when any of my babies were extremely sick . I also love the girls upfront ! There so nice and friendly ! I always recommend Dr. Patel and her office to any of my friends that are new mommies looking for a great Pediatrician ! Dr. Patel is a sweet and loving doctor , even when one of my pregnancies I lost the baby at 6 months . She took the time to talk with me and gave me a hug and showed me she cared . That meant a lot ! My kids love her too ! I adore her and wouldn't trade her for anything

Abby loves Dr. Patel!

I really like that they will almost always be able to fit me into the schedule at my soonest availability. If someone is not available to answer the phone right away, I will get a call back from an advice nurse. That is a fantastic help to me. We have seen almost all the Pediatricians who practice at this office. I find that they generally are great about spending time with the patient and answering all my parent questions. I never feel pressured by the doctors about our medical decisions.

It was tough going from the only doctors they had ever known to a bran new facility, but we did what we had to do. Getting an appointment was easy, the receptionists aren't overly warm, but I didn't have any rude behaviors or mask drama like many people have reported. They do still require all patients to wear masks, and when we forget them they quietly hand us all a mask and we go in. The office is older but clean and well maintained. The bathrooms are clean and always stocked which is nice. They don't have books or toys which isn't an issue for me, but for parents looking for distractions you might want to pack a few. There is a fun fish tank in each office to keep little eyes entertained while you sign in or fill out paperwork. Our kids have seen Dr Turner who I was pleasantly surprised with. She was calm and had a very welcoming demeanor which made it easier for my kids to warm up to. She took her time listening to them and addressing the concerns they had. We never felt rushed or unheard in her presence. On one occasion my son thought it would be funny to put a piece of fake dog poop on the chair as a prank. When she walked in she totally rolled with it and was so silly with him. She scored extra points for that!! She places orders quickly and is easy to contact which is also really nice. All of the nurses/LVNs have been amazing. They take their time and really practice patient centered care. One nurse even did breathing exercises with my daughter when she was panicked. It was beautiful to see and warmed my momma heart. One issue I did have, which is why I removed a star, is there don't seem to be any systems in place for victims of abuse. This is very concerning especially when children might be accompanied by an abuser and they are unable to advocate for themselves with the person in the room. Other than that I recommend this place.

We got a phone call from the front desk confirming the nature of the appointment, but when we showed up they said we needed to wait another week to give her the second dose. What was the point of the phone call to confirm the appointment if she wasnt going to be able to receive the medication? Then they billed me for the appointment! I took my daughter back the following week and they had us waiting for 40 minutes past our appointment time. My daughter was 8 months at the time. They had multiple patients be seen before my daughter that checked in after us. I had to ask to be seen for them to take my daughter back for her shot. Fast forward to her 1 yr check up we arrived 2 mins past the 15 minute grace period and the office admin turned us away. I explained to her that one of their elevators was broken so we waited for the next available one, but she was so rude and told us that she just couldn't fit us in anymore. She seemed to enjoy turning us away and didn't have any warmth.

I'm very sad that I can only give it five stars here at most, because I think Dr.Lee deserves a…read moreten-star rating. Even more and perfect. Let me just say this firstly: I guarantee with my own integrity that you will not find a better doctor in this area! Without comparison to other doctors, you might never know how good he is. My daughter has been seeing a Chinese-speaking doctor because of my mother's language barrier, but my son has been seeing Dr. Lee all the time! I'd always had a very good impression of him with my son because he always came to see us very quickly whenever I went to his clinic. First, the waiting time was very short, and second, he was incredibly patient. He answered all my questions very seriously and wasn't in a hurry to leave. I often asked really silly questions, but he always answered them patiently! Believe me, if it were any other doctor, they would have left long ago! Everyone's time is precious. If you can find a doctor like Dr. Lee who is willing to explain any details to you, you must cherish that. His professionalism and knowledge are beyond question. He always manages to pinpoint the problem accurately. Just a very simple example: When my son had a stomachache, I took him to other doctors, and they recommended an X-ray. But Dr. Lee told me that many children have stomach aches due to constipation. I later discovered that every time he complained of stomach pain, he would ask to go to the toilet. Of course, there are many other examples like Dr. Lee,who is exceptionally gentle and attentive when administering vaccines. Compared to other doctors who can even apply bandages crookedly. He never over-treats, and he never creates anxiety for you. No other doctor can compare to him in this respect! As I mentioned, my daughter has been seeing a Chinese-speaking doctor, but recently she caught the flu. Yesterday, Friday, I called her doctor, who very indifferently and barely answered some questions. Today, my daughter has a fever, and because it's the weekend, I couldn't contact them at all to offer any help. I had no choice but to leave a message to Dr. Lee. I really didn't expect him to reply to both of my messages, the second one even at almost 10 pm without any paid! This isn't even within his job description. He could have easily refused to help me. But because of his kindness and his genuine concern for children's , he chose to help. He told me because my son is his patient so he likes to help our family. Of course, I need to immediately transfer my daughter to Dr. Lee's .There's no need to see any other doctor, even if it means communicating in English. I remember asking Dr. Lee before, "Why don't you accept insurance premiums?" Because he doesn't, many people would seek out doctors who do. He told me he didn't want to spend time arguing with insurance companies; he wanted to spend his time seeing and taking care of patients, that's exactly what he did. I'm glad he did that because if he took insurance, his clinic would probably be the busiest in the area. He only charges 100 for a consultation, unlike many places where it's 300. This proves that he genuinely wants what's the best for the children and helping children, not just making money. I realized long ago that my child was more important than $100. I preferred not to go through insurance because when you encounter crucial problems, you realize it was absolutely worth it.

Probably THE BEST pediatrician I have ever had for my child.

As new parents, there are undoubtedly many challenges, and having an excellent doctor as our support has made the world of difference. With Dr Curitore, we can see/feel she's someone that is truly passionate about her work and genuinely cares about the well being of her patients. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, caring, and friendly. We love her bedside manners and can tell our child loves to be seen by her as evident in the exuberant smiles every time (this is contrary to my initial belief that children loathe going to the doctors, haha!). In addition, as there were some unforeseen situations requiring engagement with Dr Curitore, we consulted with her multiple times via the St Joseph app and she is so thorough with her explanation every single time and we appreciate her responsiveness! Anyhow, don't think words alone can describe how happy we are with Dr Curitore, we truly feel blessed and grateful to have her as my child's pediatrician.

Best decision. Dr. Curitore is so thorough. She reads the charts and follows up. I don't know how she finds the time but she makes each patient feel like they are her only patient. Navigating today's healthcare systems can be daunting, but Dr. Curitore not only provides the guidance needed but also proactively steps in as a strong ally to overcome or bypass obstacles. Dr. Curitore exemplifies what it means to be a child's healthcare advocate - something parents don't really know they need - until they need it.

It is convenient to my house and having MyChart/EPIC is very useful. Why two stars? Well the extra star is not for them. They treat my children very well but they are rude, judgmental, and condescending towards the parents. They are less rude if my husband is with me. I guess they realize they can't fully act out on their crap behavior. I have ignored it for long enough. I have confidence in my parenting skills so people like that don't usually bother me as a one-off but I just don't have the patience anymore. I am worried one day I am going to snap back at them verbally and, more importantly, my child should not see rude doctors as normal or that I have allowed myself to be annoyed to that point. We are not ridiculous paranoid or basic parents that are anti-vax, don't believe in science, want our kids to do fad diets, or are concerned about them getting hurt trying spicy "ethnic" food. I think they are just jaded, pumped up by their pedigrees, and burnt out. They need to remember that I am still a customer and not some naïve ignorant gleefully there to be denigrated. The doctors I have seen are Palmisano and Field. Not sure why Palmisano is so popular, her manner with me is dismissive and distrusting. I bought into the reviews and was so disappointed. It's so fake bubbly. They could very well be a villainous duo in a kids movie. Field seems like she's about to have a breakdown at any point. Especially later in the day, watch out. She's even criticized a previous set of parents to me. I don't even talk much, just the facts because I want to keep my interaction with them to a minimum while remaining pleasant. I've had Dr. Field slam her pen on the table at me because of her own will, she decided she needed to write down a treatment for my child. Guess she was mad she had to write? I didn't ask her to. All I did was ask about high level treatment options for a common condition that my child has. She's also judged me for not changing a lightly wet diaper or baby having a rash. Babies sometimes get rashes (diaper cream was visible on her body as I treat it immediately). I was intentionally waiting for the exam to change a diaper since it has to come off anyway. Of course they get wet. Babies pee frequently. I pointed to the clean diaper and wipes I set up next to my child ready to go and she didn't reply. I also got one of her looks for not wanting to send my kid to private school. Dr. Palmisano has waived me into silence and another time told my child to disregard my instructions about putting a Kindle away. She will also cut you off when she's done listening and the content holds no value. Again, I don't talk much and I'm easy-going so I don't get what is wrong with her. I am not the high-maintenance, 1000x questions type who needs to "speak to the manager" or send food back. It's a doctors appointment. Most recently, I had some concerns that I thought might be too sensitive to discuss in front of a young child and she starts asking questions about it. I couldn't answer fully, being by myself, so she didn't believe me and then ignored the issue. No follow-up. At the same appointment, I referenced a previous event and she snaps that she read the chart. Well, as a parent and patient, especially these days, taking 5 seconds to bring something up as a segue into a concern should not be shot down. It was akin to me saying to a doctor I had not seen in years, oh I had x happen last year which leads me to bring up y... but before you can explain y, you get snapped at. I mean, I don't know what to say. Perhaps they need to not work for Hoag or find another profession. Again, this has been happening for years. It is not COVID stress. I am close to this industry so I have a huge amount of compassion for first responders, essential workers, etc. Given the sample size of visits and interactions with these two, plus a witness to confirm, it's not us, it's them.
