We started going this office when we moved to the OC. Mdoesn't matter if you show up 15 minutes early for your appointment. We always had to wait. The wait was always 45 minutes. 15-20 outside and another 15-30 minutes inside of the room. We recently asked for a copy of the records since we decided to switch pediatricians and in looking over the notes, it was disturbing that in the notes for an exam that was needed they would put "not done mom had to go, she states is not concern about her vision. ". For the Audiometry Screening the comments were "Mom had to go had to be somewhere at ." The above is a complete lie. My wife did make a comment that she had somewhere else to be after she had to wait 45 minutes!!! Heaven forbid that someone doesn't assume that their appointment will be delayed 45 minutes. Let's say that what they listed was semi true, they could have rescheduled. They could have listed that a follow up appointment was offered and mom declined it. But they didn't. This just goes to show the lack of interest. She obviously has a successful and established business and probably doesn't need anymore patients but Be on time. If your other appointments are late, make them wait or don't schedule so many patients at the same time if the level of service is going to be so low. The staff was kind. Dr. Allevato was always in a massive rush. If for some reason she wasn't, she sounded like she was. It always made us feel uncomfortable. There was an instance when my wife called the weekend nurse hotline because my daugter was struggling with something. The nurse hotline said "we will call you back." Dr. Allevato called back and her exact words were "why did you have me call you." My wife ( a well spoken, educated lawyer) was blown away and informed her that she didn't ask for the doctor to call her back. She informed the doctor that she had called about a question and was told that they would call her back. I was there, I heard the call. No change in voice from the doctor or even an apology. Instead her comment was "well I need to talk to them about that." We knew that we were done with her at that point. My wife also called twice to ask for a neuropsychologist recommendation. The doctor couldn't give a or a few recommendations. This wasn't that big of a deal but still, you have to know of some from ALL of the clients that you have. If you're a parent that just needs a doctor to give your kids all the vaccines that are now required in America, do the basic check ups and be linked to CHOC, this place might be for you. We are the type of parents that have questions. We always ask a lot of questions. We do our own research as well and even look into whatever answers we are given. We don't trust the FDA, CDC or other agencies 100%. We didn't go to med school so we didn't master what drugs and medicines to give everyone. But we are not the type of parents to skip any exam for our children. We are the type of parents that focus on the gut health of our kids, their diet, their environments , the amount of radiation found in things around us. We try to grow most of our own fruits and vegetables. We are not the type of parents that would ever say, imply or accept a statement that we aren't "concerned about her vision." I even got to visit the office a few times. I was always highly disappointed in her customer service and demeanor. I always felt rushed and if I ever went to ask "how much longer," the response from the doctor always made me feel more uncomfortable. Hope this helps someone else and hope the office takes this in a constructive way.

General lobby, entrances for both well and sick patients.

There aren't enough words to describe how important Dr. Allevato has had a positive impact on the lives of our entire family. All three of our kids have literally grown up in Dr. Allevato's facility and care. Her attention to personal care for each child, the warm hospitality of her entire staff, and the compassionate and unwavering love for her job and her patients is unmatched. We entrust the health of our kids to are without reservation. If you are in need of a pediatrician, don't hesitate to look her up. She really is all that.

Thanks from the Terrones family.... Jacob and alaina

I am saddened to say my kids no longer go to Dr. Allevato because I'm now with Kaiser. I dont even have enough time or words to express how lucky I was to find such a beautiful group that cared soooo much for my kids. We first meet Dr. Allevato in the hospital when my son Jacob was born. Before even coming in the room she spoke to my OBGYN because I had some complications that might affect the baby ,and once in the room with us she was kind and stayed with us a long time. Since my son was preterm he got jaundice and she requested a light therapy mat for my son, since they didnt answer she checked him into choc hospital immediately . After the ordeal the girls in the office were so caring and loving to the point my kids loved going to the doctor. Thank you all for making my kids experience the best and always providing a positive experience even when shots were given. For those complaining about not seeing Dr Allevato in all appointments: Yes if you schedule last minute you might not see her, but she is soo great that everyone wants her so schedule with time. She is worth it just like all good things. She gives you her full attention and gives you soo much advice. Btw love the Blue Book it saved me from panicking lol.

The best pediatrian in all of Orange County! Her staff is so sweet and the entire office is very knowledgeable. The equipment in the office is very new!! The doctors carry a laptop tablet that holds all the patient charting information!! Everyone remembers the kids and make them feel so comfortable when we come in for visits. If we leave a message a return call happens the same day! I can't express enough how wonderful Dr. Allevato is!!!! I had to come in ASAP today and they took me right in!!

I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Allevato and her team have been for our family. We have two children and have been patients for almost 4 years. Unfortunately, our daughter has had to spend a lot of time at the doctor because she was born with a birth defect. However, we have always felt like Dr Allevato has gone above and beyond to make sure we are given the best care, including calling on the weekends or late at night to check in. Also, if one of the kids is sick, they are always able to squeeze us in last minute. I highly recommend her to any family. read more

Our 11 year old son has been to many pediatricians through the years with all of his medical problems. He's been going to Dr. Allevato for about 5 years now and we honestly can't say anything bad about her. Only amazing. She's so so so great. Her personality is just not what you expect from doctors. She's extremely friendly and concerned for all of her kids. Same goes for the office staff, everyone is just so friendly and inviting. We're pregnant again and I'll be calling today hoping she'll be able to take our new baby too cause I can't imagine going to another doctor! read more

LOVE Dr. Avellato and her staff. I have never had any issues with scheduling or anything regarding a visit. Dr. Allevato is sincere and I know she truly cares for my daughter and her well being. She kindly answers all of our questions, no matter how dumb they may be. I've always felt comfortable around Dr. Allevato and her staff. Barbara always returns my phone calls. She is kind over the phone and kind in person. She goes out of her way to make sure that I received whatever documents are needed, whether it be faxed or emailed. Jenny and Marina are also pretty amazing! They make my daughter feel comfortable and always make sure we are doing fine. I want to also share that they honor appointment times! I don't wait a long time in the waiting room. Oh, and they also have their waiting room designed for sick and healthy. I can't say enough about Dr. Allevato. I feel so blessed to know Dr. Allevato and her staff. As a mother you want the best for your child, and I know my daughter is receiving the best at Dr. Allevato's office. read more

Dr. Allevato is the best! She is so caring and loving that even my one year old walks over to her with open arms and a huge grin on his face. Both of my kids love her! She gives parents informative advice that keeps you calm even when your little ones are sick. My last visit (there has been quite a few) was for my infant who was sick with bronchitis through his first annual check up. Dr. Allevato patiently continued to monitor him weekly as he went through antibiotic and breathing treatments. She also made sure he was well enough before she gave us the ok for his inoculations. She really cares and you can feel it. I could not be happier with her or her staff. Everyone in the office is an absolute pleasure. I can't recommend her enough. We love you! read more

This review is long overdue I couldn't ask for more. This is everything you could want from a doctor's office. Dr. Allevato has been my children's pediatrician for several years now. Dr. Allevato and her office staff has always provided the absolute best care, and I believe, best advice and treatment during every visit and for every issue. Whether it's scheduling appointment, rescheduling appointments, billing, and documents from infants to teenagers. It's always been a smooth and reliable experience. Also the Nurse practitioner Dr. Sequiera is amazing and was our God send on one of my toughest days with my children. She cared enough to give them a heart to heart talk. If you are looking for a doctor whose medical knowledge is encyclopedic, treats the whole person, and takes the time to be caring even while maintaing a very efficient office, then Dr. Allevato is it. read more

Dr Allevato gets 20 stars in my book. Before she had her own practice I took my kids to an office she worked at. There was clearly something wrong and no one would help. She overheard my daughter screaming and came out of her examining room to see what was wrong. She sent her in for an X-ray. Thank god she did because unfortunately for us she had a cancerous tumor on her tailbone. If it wasn't for her listening to me it might have been too late for us. Today my daughter is 17 years old and will be graduating from high school in June and will be in remission 10years this fall. read more

We have only been seeing Dr Allevato for a month and I have to say she is really amazing. She visited us in the hospital after delivery and her enthusiasm and personality is something you will fall in love with from the start. She is very honest, down to earth and extremely knowledgeable. She answered all our questions during our first visit and we remembered a few questions once we left and shot her over an email...by the end of the day she gave us a call answering all our questions. The office is really clean. The staff is really friendly and super sweet nurses. I love the separation in the office of sick kids to healthy kids. I think it is the greatest form of common courtesy that an office can confidently have this figuration in their office. Best part, the hubs approves of her as well. It sounds silly to find a doctor on yelp but the reviews on here are really true and I am glad I trusted my gut and other fellow yelpers. Now, I only wish my doctor was as good as my babies! read more

My daughter saw Dr. Allevato when she was first born. I absolutely loved her then, and now that we no longer live in Southern California, I can say I appreciate her even more now that I can't find a doctor that can compare to her!!! I never had to wait an extended period of time. Staff was always so friendly and understanding. Love the desperate waiting areas for sick/well children. Dr. Allevato is thorough, but timely. I also love that I never felt like she ever tried over medicating my child. I just took my daughter in to her current pediatrician today for a really bad cough (I figured she would prescribe a RX cough syrup) but instead I have antibiotics for possible whooping cough (my daughter is fully vaccinated) and an inhaler (which seemed odd, because my daughter isn't wheezing or having a hard time breathing). Today just really made me wish we were still close enough to see Dr. Allevato!!! Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Allevato is wonderful, I have been taking my girls to her since they were born and have referred many friends to her as well that just absolutely love her. She has a great bedside manner with the kids and is always very patient and takes the time to answer all of your questions, you never feel like you are being rushed. There was one instance on a weekend that I needed to ask her a question about something that happened so I paged her and she got back to me within minutes and advised me what to do. In addition to her being a great doctor, she has an amazing staff as well and I love the fact that we never have to wait. I have brought my kids in for their yearly visits and when they have been sick, we always get right in and are seen in a reasonable amount of time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pediatrician. read more

Dr. Allevato has an amazing office. We have been coming to her for over 9 years, and she has cared for all 3 of my children since birth. We rarely have to wait, and if I call with an unscheduled concern, I always get in the same day. She takes all of my concerns seriously. Any time we have needed a referral, she has always processed the paperwork and takes care of it. She is proactive in her approach and always takes time with us when we are there. Barbara and Katie in the office are very kind, and always remember our kids. The nurses in the office are also very kind and caring with my children. Dr. Sequeira is there on occasion and any time we have seen her, she also gives us the same attention and care that Dr. Allevato does.

If I could give Dr. Allevato, Dr. Sequeira and staff a thousand stars, I would! They are the best Pediatricians!!! We have been with them for 14 years, and I just am so grateful that I found them!! These doctors are like family and they both have a heart of gold! I have three children and one with special needs that has chronic health issues. So when I say I am in their office a lot, it is the truth (40x in one year--not kidding). ( I guess I should also add I make the drive from Corona but their quality of care makes it all worthwhile) I am use to advocating for my son, but I don't have to with these doctors. They just listen and wow that takes away a lot stress. I trust them 1000% with my children and they have always been amazing and really listen to my concerns. I have had both doctors call me at night, while my child is in the hospital to see how he is doing. I have had both doctors call me on a weekend to see how an ER visit went. They deeply care about their patients as if it was their own child. They are extremely thorough in their medical examinations and have great intuition. They have sent us to the ER on several occasions after their own examination, because something didn't seem right. Well, in all cases, they were correct and my child was hospitalized for several days. I really can't say enough about these wonderful doctors, except Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! My family has been blessed to have the both of you as their doctors!! I truly am so grateful for all that you do!! read more

Dr. Allevato is a blessing! She met us in the hospital after our son was born, and gave us her "Blue Book" and taught my husband how to hold our son when he cries. The Blue Book is full of information, which was especially helpful to us as first time parents, including a "not to worry" section. I learn so much from Dr. Allevato during each visit.

Dr. Angela allevato has been our families pediatrician for many many years, she has been so amazing I have to share. My 27 year old daughter was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy and it was difficult to find a pediatrician. The first time we met her she made us feel welcomed and at ease. She went above and beyond not only for the needs of my daughter but support for our family. Since them she has been the pediatrician for my other 3 children. She has seen us through sprains, Broken bones, stitches, infections to say the least. She has taken care of it all with such kindness and excellence. Dr. Allevato and her staff have always made the kids feel so comfortable, she pays attention to ever little detail and my children all trust her very much. She is respected by her staff and her peers. Treating a child with a terminal illness takes special care and we are grateful that Dr Allevato has treated all of our children through the big illness and the little ones. If you ever hear anything different there must be more to the story not being shared. The office is always spotless and has easy access. If you are looking for a pediatrician go visit her office and talk with her and you will see what I mean. read more

Dr. Kwon takes his time in assessing each kid and he talks to each kid to make sure that he or she is comfortable. Dr. Kwon then always spends a great amount of time with the parents in ensuring that the each parent is free of concerns and questions. I can go on and on about Dr. Kwon because he truly is amazing. If you are looking for a pediatrician, choose Dr. Kwon, you will not regret it.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, what they lack ends up a longer list. The first MA was unable to get a vial of blood and said someone else would try on my other arm with a straight needed (vs butterfly). She left me without even putting a bandaid on the arm she poked and I had to struggle to put the bandaid on one handed while still maintaining pressure on it. Next MA comes and draws blood and when she's done she yelps I don't have a cotton ball (to put on the vein she just drew out of) and my blood is just pooling while she puts a bandaid on. Luckily I'm well versed enough to know I needed to put pressure on my bandaid. The NP who saw me was new to (per the MA) she really didn't put my mind at ease. Her expertise and knowledge seemed lacking based on the answers to my questions. First thing she asked me was, why are you here and not the ER? I told her my PCP sent me here because she didn't feel it necessitated a ER visit. She wanted me to be evaluated by YOU to assess and in your medical opinion, do I need to be seen further or what course of action next? She swabbed me for flu and covid and I verbally questioned her because I had isolated severe GI symptoms. She said sometimes those present wither GI only. Does it? I don't know, I'm not an MD but I'm also someone who works in healthcare and it didn't feel like the proper procedure. When I asked if she would be ordering any stool samples, I heard through my closed door "do we do that?". Ok, she's new, I'll give her that...but she comes back in and says "if you'd like to have the order for stool testing I'm happy to give that to you." Am I the md or am I the patient? I came here for your professional medical opinion! Do I?! So after I kindly communicated that I am looking to her for her opinion as the expert whether or not my symptoms necessitate an order, she still doesn't quite give me a direct answer! I haven't been to that many urgent cares, but I've come to see a trend that many of the urgent cares that are owned by a company with multiple locations don't have MD's on staff physically there. That said, I've also noticed the trend that many provide sub-par care.

We've had the pleasure of having Dr. Allevato care for our son since the day he was born, for 7 1/2 years and we couldn't be more satisfied. Dr. Allevato is incredibly thorough, compassionate, and attentive to every detail concerning our son's health. We have two older children who saw a different pediatrician, and after experiencing the care Dr. Allevato provides, we only wish we had found her sooner. One of the standout aspects of this practice is their responsiveness. Whenever I call the office to request an appointment, they make sure to fit us in the same day or as soon as possible. This is unlike other practices where I've been told to go to urgent care because they were fully booked. It's such a relief to know that our son's health is prioritized, and we can rely on them in urgent situations. The office does have a bit of a wait time, but that's something we've encountered at every doctor's office, and it's understandable. The time spent waiting is well worth the exceptional care and attention Dr. Allevato provides during each visit. The office staff--Barbara, Jenny, and Marina--are always welcoming, friendly, and make each visit a pleasant experience. We truly appreciate the care our son has received over the years and highly recommend Dr. Allevato to any parent looking for a dedicated and skilled pediatrician. read more

I couldn't be happier with our experience at Allevato Pediatrics! Dr. Allevato and the entire team, are incredibly kind, caring, and knowledgeable. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. Dr. Allevato took the time to explain everything thoroughly about my daughter's eczema--how it developed and, most importantly, how to properly treat and manage it moving forward. She really took the time to listen to our concerns, and I walked out of the appointment feeling much more confident in caring for my daughter's skin. The NPs were equally wonderful, making sure we were comfortable with the treatment plan and answering all of our questions. I'm so relieved to have found a pediatric office that makes both my daughter and I feel supported and well-informed. I'm truly glad we're with this practice! Highly recommend them for any parents! read more

Can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Allevato and her staff! The moment you walk in the door, you are greeted with friendly smiles by Katie and whoever else might happen to be up at the front desk at the time. I don't know if this is a common practice or not (I've never seen it before), but they have the waiting room divided into "sick children" and "well children" areas - brilliant! There is always a fun Disney movie on to watch while you wait. The office is so clean and bright, with a fun unique décor to each room and bathroom. Dr. Allevato always has a cheery disposition as soon as she walks in the room, and I am continually amazed at how she flits from one room to the next, never losing her enthusiasm for each new patient. She is extremely thorough but never condescending. My children adore her and she is truly wonderful with them. read more
