Dr Kar is an incredible pediatrician. We've been seeing him for both of our kids since 2021 and I…read morecannot say enough good things about him. He really takes his time with each of his patients and you can tell he genuinely cares about each and every family he sees. We opted into the concierge program and it is the best decision we have ever made. The ability to text Dr Kar when we have a medical concern after hours or on weekends is invaluable. It is worth every penny and has come in handy countless times. Our son had a life threatening illness in 2024 that multiple specialists overlooked, and Dr Kar is the only reason he was able to get admitted and into surgery. He was a critical voice for us at CHOC when we needed an advocate to push for treatment, coordinate care among specialists, and get prescriptions and home health services figured out. I genuinely do not know what would have happened had we not had Dr Kar on our side. No one ever wants to be in a situation where their child has a life threatening medical condition but if you find yourself there like we did, Dr Kar will be in your court 100%.

I am shocked at the good reviews on here. This doctor was a nightmare. Literally tried to…read moreintimidate us into getting one vaccine we didn't want - saying things like, you don't trust my medical opinion? It's the only vaccine we didn't get and it wasn't necessary. One time I called his office to ask a question. They thought they put me on hold and started making fun of me for asking how much caffeine I can have while nursing. MOST IMPORTANTLY he missed a recommendation to get a specific medical test at 2 months of age from his doctors who delivered him due to an issue he had at birth. He said the recommendation was at one year. I found out he was wrong months later. Lastly his office is sooooo depressing. His ancient metal scales made my baby roll and hit his head. All this doctor did was stress vaccines on us. Otherwise he was useless and SO so rude. I dreaded my baby's appointments because I'd have to see this guy. I'm so happy we left.

I was recommended Dr. Michael Yu by my OBGYN and I'm so glad I took a chance on him. I had never…read moremet or spoke with Dr. Yu nor his office before I delivered as I had an emergency c-section but when Dr. Yu came the following day to assess my son, I immediately felt comfortable. He has wonderful bedside manner, came early both days to look at my baby, and answered a lot of my questions. My son is 2 months now and over the last 2 months, I have contacted Dr. Yu with random questions and he would call me or answer my emails within 24 hours. Made me feel at ease with a lot of decision makings. I highly recommend him and his office. Only advice! Please change your door! Lol. His office has a heavy duty door that slams loud every time someone leaves and they aren't holding the door before it shuts. Definitely has scared my son out of sleep when we've gone for appointments

We I call they never greet kindly either. I just called, and they rudely hang up without me being done.

I have only had on lady be pleasant there. Dr. Jeffrey Taylor's nurse is wonderful, we really enjoy seeing Dr. Jeffrey Taylor. We also like seeing Dr. Mann when she's around. The staff just is not very professional, and makes us not really comfortable.

Recently, I experienced a busy office and lack of communication along with little to no follow up. I brought my daughter in for an issue and was asked to leave a urine sample. Not only did the office not follow up to deliver the results, they lost the sample and never called. Getting a return call takes several hours. My observation is that the practice has grown too large and they're too understaffed to properly follow up on your kids health. Standard response is book another appointment.

She is patient: I did not want to tell her the reason for our visit in front of my teenage son. So she took time to find out from past doctors' notes, according to how I requested Dr.Kellum to read up on those notes. She read through two doctors' notes and was still not finding out. She is intelligent: SO she asked me if I like to tell her. I responded that I did not want to say the reason in front of my beloved son. She then offered to speak to her out side of the patient room. Yep, she got my message and returned to my teenager son to reassure him he's all taken care of and is free to go only allow her to simply listens to his heart and lungs to confirm he is healthy and gave me what I requested. Our appoinment went smoothly and afterwards I revealed to my son for the reason of visit with Dr.Kellum. He agreed he's fine with it, too. So everything is great so far regarding my son's health. It IS being taken care of! Thanks Newport Children ! Our nurse assistant who took measured weight, temperature and blood pressure was also a pleasant person: He is gentle spirited. Sai, he said his name is. When he pressed me for the reason for my visit, I also did not give him answer. But he also did not insist, simply stated that he will have to read up in the texted answer I provided in the office iPad in the front desk.
