I interviewed several doctors until I met her before my daughter was born back 2017. Now my daughter just turns six years old and during these six years, Dr. Soan is always there whenever I contact her anytime even I am outside of the country. I keep telling my husband that how lucky we are that we find Dr. Soan as the pediatrician. I am the first time mother, and I do get anxious even little thing happen to my daughter but Dr. Soan always so patient with me and explains things clearly as well comfort my worries. Dr. Soan is very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you so much Dr. Soan and my daughter we all love you!

Grace Pediatrics made me feel like home, and I believe it will work the same way on you…read more Came here for my medical examination, when Dr. Han asked me why I picked them from the long USCIS list, the answer is the name of GRACE, and you know what, here is really a graceful pediatrics. Dr. Han is one of the most warm and kind doctors I've ever visited in my whole life, she'd provide you all the information you should know in the way that you'll easily understand. So as the vibe and environment, so welcoming while tranquil, make you feel so peaceful. Grace Pediatrics is not a clinic but a home. I'm grateful that I choose them.

I went to Grace Pediatrics to receive a non invasive treatment for chronic acne called Avi Clear…read more It shoots lasers to decrease glands that produce sebum. I had three installments with the last one being two months ago. So far, i've had no breakouts. My job in the Army requires me to be out in the field without time or resources to do a facial routine for weeks at a time, so i've been extremely impressed with the effectiveness of the treatment. I've done accutane in the past, which was effective for a bit but the acne came back. So far with Avi Clear i've had no issues. Dr. Han was incredibly sweet and informative, from letting me choose the music during treatment to providing me information for what products to use for the type of skin i have and the lifestyle that i lead. I would recommend meeting with Dr. Han even for a consultation and see what she has to offer! I still reach out to her with questions i may have.

I explained to her that my daughter (born only two months ago) had insurance. She was born at Hoag Hospital in the same complex and has been seeing Dr. G since birth. I explained she had insurance, but I didn't have the ID number memorized. I said I would call once I got home in an hour to provide the member ID number but I could provide the group ID number in the meantime. This receptionist was incredibly rude and kept saying that our visit would be marked as a cash visit and she won't bill the insurance. She needs training on bed side manners.

Dr Mike has been our kids' pediatrician for 17 years. We originally interviewed about 5-6 doctors…read moreand chose Dr Mike because of his demeanor and his philosophy of truly centering the concerns of parents. We have three very different children and he's been excellent with all of them. In fact, for a while my daughter was with another doctor, but we switched her to Dr Mike because of how comfortable he makes the kids feel. Dr Mike also has a functional medicine philosophy, looking at health from a perspective of the whole child, not just treating symptoms as they come up. I'm honestly not sure what we are going to do once my kids age out of his practice. Dr Mike has been a partner with us and I'm so glad we found him 17 years ago.

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.

I've been seeing Dr. Amina for my two girls (ages 2 and 4) for 6 months now, and my experience has…read morebeen very positive so far. As in any doctor's office, there is sometimes a 20-30 minute wait, but seeing her is worth it. I'd say that 4 times out of 5, she's been able to take us for a same-day appointment. She is gentle and takes her time with each child. Dr. Amina is knowledgable with homeopathic medicine as well as Western medicine, and I appreciate that she tries natural remedies first before going the route of medication or antibiotics (which has worked each time!). She's also considerate of how many factors can affect my child when she's sick. For instance, she guessed that my daughter may have asthma when I brought her in for a lingering post-cold cough (her father has asthma, which I hadn't mentioned!). Her staff is friendly, and my girls love the colorful play waiting room, kid-appropriate TV programs playing in the background, child-friendly bathroom, and the cute themed exam rooms. The girls leave with Disney stickers (makes them smile!). And there hasn't been any tears yet. So thankful that such an accessible, caring and skilled pediatrician is only 12 minutes from our home!

I would not recommend Newport Children's Medical Group. Years ago we went to the Laguna Beach and…read morethe Newport office, their organization and professionalism was a struggle, so we decided to not return to this practice. Several years later, when our pediatrician sold his practice, we thought we'd give Newport children's medical group another try. Again, the Newport office is disorganization, and Dr. Kellum was truly a disappointment. There was no follow-through, the doctors and office staff do not return your phone calls, when a referral is needed, they don't get back to you, which means you can't see a specialist, because the doctor's office doesn't get back to you with the referral. I am not one to leave negative reviews, but when it comes to your child's health and safety, I will spend the time to leave a review to share my experiences.

My family has had the most incredible experiences with OCEAN PEDIATRICS…read more Our forever doctor is Dr. Steven Abelowitz, and we love him. My daughter is always excited to see doctor Steve, for both well visits and sick visits. She says, "doctor steve will make everything better. I want to go see doctor Steve, and only doctor Steve." He is patient, kind, thorough, communicative and very knowledgeable. We feel so confident in his care and are so grateful for how he has gone above and beyond for our family. He has been there for my daughter since birth, and has helped us navigate through major health issues. You never know how great your doctor is until you have an emergency, and we feel blessed to have had our daughter, Allison, under the care of Dr Abelowitz during those difficult times. He has always made sure my child has received the best care, also referring us to excellent specialists when necessary. He has followed up with the referrals and made sure that everyone treating my kid is on the same page. I cannot recommend this office enough. I know my daughter has always received the best care with doctor Abelowitz. In addition to everything stated above, The practice is very organized and I have been very impressed with the ability to make same day appointments and are generally able to see our favourite doctor, Dr. Steven Abelowitz. This review is longer than most as I want to repeat : he is with OCEAN PEDIATRICS. If you're curious as to WHY he is not at Coastal kids (they're to blame for the negative reviews, in my opinion) kindly read this article: https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/story/2024-08-02/newport-beach-pediatrician-sues-hedge-fund-he-partnered-with-alleges-managers-put-profits-before-patients Don't believe the negative reviews as coastal kids and those running it are the ones who are at fault (this is my opinion, and my opinion alone). The hedge fund currently running coastal kids (Steve's old practice), are putting profits over patients. They forced him out for putting PATIENTS FIRST. This hedge fund in particular seems to NOT care about your child at all, and only focus on the big P: PROFITS. This is why non-professionals (like the entity running coastal kids) should *never* be allowed to partner with professionals. It compromises professional integrity and puts profits over people. Attorneys and doctors are prohibited from partnering with non-attorneys and non-doctors for exactly this reason. Maybe some hedge funds have gotten around it by having doctors as partners. New legislation needs to be passed, prohibiting any organization with a single non-professional partner from this kind of activity. I have been WAITING for Steve to open up a new practice, and am so happy OCEAN PEDIATRICS is OPEN & accepting new patients. My daughter was one of the first- I got her in their system on the day they opened as I completely trust Steve and his amazing staff. That said, If you're want your child to receive the BEST care, call OCEAN PEDIATRICS and make an appointment with doctor Steve Abelowitz.

What a shame. My whole family( cousins included) have been patients of dr a below it's for 25 some…read moreodd years. Back when it was one office in Newport Beach. The corporate greed and lack of care has officially taken hold here. Multiple offices, revolving doors with staff and doctors, obviously unhappy staff that can care less about their jobs or their patients. I should have known better then to continue as a patient. I am the patient that just left the credit card on file, with insurance or not, I trusted. BETRaYED. They are not in the business of healing, they are in the business of steeling. Keep your receipts, record your phone calls, document your visits. They say the bill insurance and they don't. Every time I go I get a bill above and beyond what I am supposed to pay( office visit 1761 dollars), ya right!!! Then try to get a hold of someone's and when you do you at spoken down to. Then the mistake is found, no apology, just "we will call you back, then the bill magically turns to zero Ya. You can keep your slimy greedy business model for yourself. No longer patient centered. Again. What a shame. Dr abelowitz, though your probably too busy to notice, or read this message, I know medicine has changed, I know I can't expect more then 5-10 minutes after waiting for an hour for a appointment that was made weeks in advance. Why do you continue to grow your business if you are not really trying to be a health care provider anymore. The lines have been blurred for sure. For the prospective patients, do your research, try to see the same Doctor twice, you can't. You will Likely see a PA because that's all they will give you, because they care so much about your kids Try to get strait forward billing, you can't , because they don't know what they are doing either. It's like the blind leading the blind.
