We are new to the area and decided to try Coastal Kids in Moorpark. While the pediatricians we've…read moremet have been great..kind, thorough, and attentive. The front office experience has been the complete opposite. In my interactions, the office staff has been consistently rude and dismissive over the phone & in person. It genuinely feels as though they dislike their jobs, and that attitude shows in the way they treat families. It's really disappointing, because the doctors themselves are wonderful, but the atmosphere created by the front desk is incredibly frustrating.

I have been taking my 2 children here for 25 years. I made an appointment in July for my daughter…read moreto have her annual physical in September a week before she was to leave for college. The appointment was with Dr. Speigel at the Westlake office. I receive an email a few days before the appointment which stated that my daughter was to see a Dr. T (something). I have never heard of this doctor (apparently she is new). So, I called the office and they really could not tell me why they changed doctors and told be that Dr. Speigel was "Booked". They also let me know that the appointment was in the Moorpark office even though the email stated that it was in Westlake. I called them back and told them that my 18 year old daughter was upset with this change and Wendy, the office manager told me that Dr. Speigel could fit her in on Tuesday. After the call, I realized that the Tuesday date was two days shy of her previous physical last year, therefore the physical would probably not be covered by insurance. So the morning of the physical, I called Wendy asking her if we would be charged and she snapped at me to call my insurance. My daughter and I were furious because this appointment was made 2 months ago and she was leaving for college in days. I told Wendy that we would not be coming to her office again. I made my daughter an appointment with an adult doctor and she was seen before she left for college. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dr. Speigel and Dr. Scheer, but thanks to Wendy, we are done.

Sometimes the wait time is a little long when you call. What I truly appreciate though is the staff are very caring and will always make time for their patients.

Ashley the NP came up with a treatment protocol that none of the ER drs had even suggested. She has excellent bedside manner and is the only medical professional that my son has allowed to look in his ears. After a really stressful day I was so grateful for the team for taking the initiative to call me and get us ok the schedule. Thank you all so much!

The other doctors here, and their pediatric nurse practitioner, are great as well - we've had to come in last minute when the kids are sick etc, and if Dr D'Andre is out, the other doctors and pediatric NP can help. It's so nice that they do this so your child can get help. I love that they're open Saturdays for a bit too. It's so, so nice. Why do kids always seem to get sick or have something happen right as the weekend starts? lol. So grateful I found this office and of course Dr. D'Andre. Oh and my kids LOVE the cool fish tank in the middle of the waiting room. Excellent and smart choice by the team or doctors! lol Perfectly entertaining while kids wait.

Saw Dr. Gifford's great reviews but was worried I'd have to wait weeks as she's booked up in advance (deservedly so as she's amazing!) so I called yesterday morning at 10:15am, and by luck and the sweetness of the staff particularly the nice lady I spoke to whose name escapes me, they had a 10:30am cancellation and told me to come on in! 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... Dr. Gifford took one look, new immediately what the problem was and went to work right away! She fixed me up, gave me recommendations for new shoes and I was on my way.

I trusted Dr. Bruckner with my child's care after a detailed discussion about our specific vaccine…read moreplan. Immediately after that conversation he left the room and sent a nurse who administered the WRONG vaccine to my child. The office only discovered the error when an insurance claim was denied for being out of sequence, and then failed to inform me at that time. He waited until our next appointment to inform me of his mistake. In my opinion this represents negligence, a serious breach of trust, and unacceptable concealment of a medical error. I cannot recommend this practice.

My little guy was having severe…read moreprojective vomiting problems that he never took seriously or looked into any further and I had to go to the ER to have my concerns addressed. Fast forward, my son was not gaining weight properly and his percentile was dropping at every single appointment, again, he was not concerned and thought I was being overly concerned. He never took me seriously and continuously brushed off my concerns and said he was fine. At every single appointment I brought up his weight and delayed milestones and he thought I was being dramatic is how he made it seem. We saw him from birth to 9 months and fast forward we moved out of state. Now, in a new state with a new pediatrician THE FIRST appointment she sent us to a specialist. At the first appointment the specialist diagnosed him failure to thrive and low muscle tone... something he will have to deal with forever. Had Bruckner taken the time to listen and properly diagnose him, we could have gotten ahead of the testing and physical therapy when he was a baby; rather than getting a late start now that he's 15 months old. I do not recommend him.
