I love our doctor, Francisco Rivera! He is so kind, knowledgeable and really takes his time with…read moreour boys! He answers all of our questions too (which are many!) and explains things so well. He talks to the kids directly which is good because then they'll "listen" to the doctor instead of us. We never feel rushed and we also like the office. Spacious and clean. Parking is right next door which is super convenient.

Update: 3x 1-Star reviews within a 2 week period for the same issue. Think twice before choosing…read morethis office - service used to be good but it's clearly gone downhill. To the other parents who are having issues - FILE A COMPLAINT with your insurance provider and with the medical board for lack of access to care. Today (Thurs 1/8 - normal business day) was the 4th time within the last year that I was unable to make an appointment for my sick 2 year old because no one would pick up the phone, all day. I sent an email and waited on hold 9 different times for a total of 35 minutes, and no one ever picked up or called me back. No indication the office was closed. This is inexcusable when they're in the business of caring for sick infants and children (if you're closed, let us know so we can find other care?). You can see in my photo, the previous time a month ago I was on hold for 15 minutes before they hung up on me. Once or twice, I give them the benefit of the doubt but 4 time in a year! Business is too good that they don't need your business or care to answer phones anymore. We've changed doctors as of 3 hours ago.

They gave my 1.5 year old daughter 2 extra doses of the chicken pox vaccine in separate visits…read more(administered 3 total when she should have 1 dose at that age) because they forgot to check their own records. After the 3rd dose, the injection site swelled up and she had an anaphylactic reaction and broke out in hives. It's been 2 years, and my daughter still scratches the injection site. The nurse also let my 1.5 year old daughter play with the empty glass vaccine vials, which she could have easily swallowed. I also requested for a doctor's note to clear my daughter for returning to school. Instead they made another mistake and sent our school a note that my daughter had Hand Foot Mouth (which she did not) so I had to further rectify. While Dr. Lai called everyday to check on her regarding the hives, there has been a trend of mistakes and we have since switched practices.

Never store your credit card with San Marino Pediatrics. I requested multiple times to have my card…read moreremoved from their system, and the front desk confirmed it was deleted--yet it was still charged again without my consent. That alone is unacceptable. Their billing practices are also questionable. They knew the vaccination wouldn't be covered due to an insurance change, but chose not to inform us until after the second visit. This lack of transparency feels deliberate and financially motivated. The front desk staff are consistently rude and dismissive, making every interaction unpleasant. Sadly, Dr. Allison herself seems to lack empathy and appears more focused on billing than truly caring for her patients. This entire experience has been disappointing.

I have been bringing my kids here for over a year now. The doctors here are great. We love Dr…read more Michael and Dr. Celoni as well as the nurse practitioner Dr. Lana. They are all super friendly, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and give the best care. Their original/ first location is in San Dimas. Dr. Michael's works out of both offices but is mostly in South Pasadena in the mornings. We have been to the SD location when we happened to be in the area and needed immediate help. The office staff are so kind and willing to help at both offices. I like the SP office more because of all the cute decor, child friendly furniture, toys, and crafts they put in the patient's rooms. At the end of every visit, you get an email with the summary notes which you can access through the patient portal. You can also make video appointments if needed. The doctors always want your kids to have a positive experience there so they usually ask parents if it's ok to give a lollipop or a sticker. We highly recommend Foothill Pediatrics.

I've been going to Dr. Celoni in south Pasadena for my 2 kids and they are so loving and caring…read more Every appointment they make sure my kids are taken care and provide the services needed. They go above and beyond to make my daughter comfortable as she is under the spectrum. From the nurses to the doctors they are all very nice and welcoming.

I cannot rave enough about Dr. Celoni and her wonderful staff. You just don't find pediatricians…read morelike her anymore. Truly an amazing individual, so loving, caring and EXPERIENCED! I am beyond happy that we found her and decided to make that first appointment. Since day 1 she treated my son with the same attention and care that she would her own children. She really takes her time to get to know her patients, their parents and diagnose what the problem is. She tells you exactly what you need to do, and will go out of her way to make sure you understand. Besides Celoni, the office is a children's wonderland! It's full of toys and life, all different kinds, each individual room also has many toys and fun things to entertain the children. The office has so much character, just like Celoni! She knows exactly how to treat children and what environment makes them most comfortable, just skills you acquire through many years of experience.

The Doctor is great , and is very caring I give her 5 stars there. The downfall is the actual…read morefollow through of recommendations, and actually having referral processed. So many things are said, but isn't done. Biggest reason I put 2 stars is the Front end, you have to call multiple times before they pick up, they schedule you for a Saturday appointment & don't tell you they decided to close after all, they get frustrated from poor communication between them & the Dr then let it out on you with extremely rude attitude. I Have been in there multiple times, and it's not busy to the point where you can't quickly pick up a phone or idk actually submit a referral. Again Doctor is great, just needs staff that can bring organization to the practice, and maybe an assistant to come into appointment to take notes so there's more follow through.

Dr Yim It's great, but her front office leaves a lot to be desired. I rarely, if ever, get somebody…read morelive when I try to call. Twice now I've gotten in the car to drive down because I got frustrated with not being able to reach someone. They also close the office from 12:00 to 1:30 for lunch everyday. I always schedule lunches with my team so that there's coverage of the office for our stakeholders during the weekday. I really wish they would consider that 12:00 to 1:00 is the only time a lot of us have to call and straighten things out when we're in need of help. When people recommended her the one thing they said was at the front office wasn't great, now I see what they mean and we are considering changing to another provider not because Dr Yim isn't great, but because her front office staff needs to become more service-oriented.

We've been seeing Dr. Yim for 8 years now for my two kiddos and we have still been as wonderfully…read morepleased as when we were in the beginning. Dr. Yim is just so wonderful (my kids don't dread going to the doctor!) and there's always an on-call doctor, the nurses line during business hours is super helpful as well. We feel so grateful to have such a fantastic physician!

After going through the list of pediatricians associated with Methodist Hospital, I decided to go…read morewith Dr. Hu. While he wasn't readily available because my daughter was born on the weekend, he was able to meet us Monday morning for a checkup. Dr. Hu is very knowledgeable and kind. As first time parents, there's always a lot of anxiety whether we are doing things correctly and what not. He is always able to reassure us that we're doing great. His schedule is pretty full so I recommend making appointments months in advance if possible.

This doctor is highly sought after. He's wonderful. However, the wait time to see him is…read morediscouraging. Dr. Hu is passionate and genuinely cares for his patients. Very knowledgeable, personable with children, and easy to talk to.

Her professionalism is matched by her genuine compassion and dedication to her patients. Dr. Greenberg brings an energy that immediately puts both parents and children at ease, which makes every visit a pleasant experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Greenberg for any pediatric care needs. My children and I have complete trust in her, and we genuinely appreciate the outstanding care she consistently provides. She truly goes above and beyond for her patients. (10/10)

We feel truly blessed to have found Dr. Sandra Greenberg for our little granddaughter. In today's…read moreworld, when it's often hard to trust the doctors assigned by health providers (ours is Kaiser), it is such a gift to have a physician we can truly rely on. Dr. Greenberg is always there for her patients -- whether it's by call, text, video visit, home visit, or even a same-day appointment at her beautiful office in Pasadena. The personal attention and accessibility she offers is rare and so comforting for families. I highly recommend scheduling a first wellness visit with her -- once you do, you'll have the peace of mind knowing you can always connect with her when needed. On top of her excellent care, her prices are very reasonable compared to many other practices in Pasadena. We are so grateful for her compassionate and dedicated care!

I wanted to add some positivity to this yelp page. We LOVE our pediatrician, Dr. McCormick. Her…read morefriendly and upbeat demeanor fills the room, and she is very knowledgeable. We listen and do everything she recommends. She also shares her own experiences as a mother. We love that! I think patients and their parents need to be more reasonable about the front office. They are doing their best under a highly stressful or pressured environment. They are working with a very vulnerable population: children. We have to understand that we are in a post-COVID world and the healthcare industry was hit the hardest. While some policies are "stone-age", the only thing that matters is that our children are getting top quality care and I feel this practice does that. Just to note, that policies take a while to change/implement, so patience is necessary when it comes to all doctor's offices. My child is a newer patient but every question, and after-hours call has been answered. I am able to come in anytime to see her doctor or any available doctor. All the doctors are great and have the most up to date care. The CS portal is user friendly and has all the information I need for my child. Let's remember that healthcare workers are people too. Treat them with kindness especially since they are treating our children with their patience, expertise and kindness.

Firstly we love our pediatrician, Dr. Sarah Salamon. She is a doctor but also a mom so she had…read moreamazing bedside manner and she talks to the kids during the appointment and asks them about school, their favorite foods etc. Pros: our doctor, it is easy to get a referral for any specialist, office is big and clean. Cons: wait times on the phone can be horrendous, the nurses who call you back aren't always the most knowledgable (some are great, some are so-so), the "new system" they use as a result of joining Cedars requires you to fill out forms and sign digital docs on the Ipad everytime you come.

Dr. Henry seriously gave me so much peace of mind!! I texted him with an emergency for my little…read moresister who accidentally got into a little big accident, and he was ON IT. He responded right away and immediately gave me a bunch of care instructions for her without making me feel uncomfortable or stupid for my questions. (I definitely barraged him with a lot of questions cause I was freaking out!) Once I got her settled in a good place and I felt more calm, he even reached back out to check on me. I feel like it's so rare nowadays to find a doctor who is *actually* attentive *and* responsive *and* gives you actual time for your questions *without* rushing you. Highly recommend Oakwell and I honestly would use them for myself too if they ever expand beyond pediatrics.

Texting him is much easier than using our insurance's telehealth service where I am routed and re-routed through random doctors and put on hold for hours. Because Dr. Wu knows our specific situation, he can give much more precise detailed answers and much quicker than our general insurance can. I'm also able to get prescription super quickly and request for a house visit if necessary.

Dr. Scaff has been the pediatrician for my daughter (now 18) and son (now 15) since birth. He is…read morewonderful and puts children completely at ease. We could not have asked for a better and more caring doctor. I found the "bedside manner" post shocking and seemed to say more about that parent's unfortunate childhood experience than Dr. Scaff.

Occasionally, wait times have been a little long in the front office, but not in recent years.

For 20 years he has always given me confidence and comfort as I navigate parenting and children. He has a great sense of humor too.
