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

This has very little to do with Dr. Jeffrey Taylor because we love going to him. This has to do…read morewith the office and the staff. Every time we call staff never greets us kindly. 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.

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 has very little anxiety or much fuss during the routine checkups as the staff is patient and playful, they understand how to easily work with children AND new parents. They are very accessible for families with concerns of insurance providers, and even the out of pocket cost aren't terrible for situations when your provider is lacking support. 3 yr check up with eye and hearing test was 205 total for reference for us today. Really not bad at all considering a once a year cost, as she had all her vaccines when she was 1-2 and won't need more til she's 4. We don't mind the diff doctors as it keeps our schedules flexible since we now drive down from the SFV. Each different Dr we've had has been wonderful and reassuring that my wife and I are raising a healthy child who is hitting her growth milestones The waiting lobby can be a little tight at times, try to leave the stroller behind if you can, don't bring the whole family if you don't need to! Make sure you try to fill out the forms before coming in to make your visit a breeze! Plenty of FREE parking (you appreciate this after living in LA), a very accommodating staff who remembers your child as well. They have a cute little fish tank too incase the current movie doesn't appease your child for you non iPad parents. Maybe I shouldn't say how awesome this place is to Gatekeep it but as a parent who wants the best for their kid, this place is golden and you should definitely consider this office for your kids. Just remember Newport blvd traffic is OOF at certain times and especially during the summer! Use side streets if you're a habitually late like I am! Thank you again to this wonderful staff for always being able to answer my concerns and advise on anything I have questions about! See you guys in about a year

As parents, especially in those early postpartum months, having a pediatrician who is both knowledgeable and compassionate makes all the difference. We are extremely happy!

This was my first so I had a lot of questions and concerns and she was always there to help along the way. She uses evidence based practice in her care with Max and I appreciate that. It's not difficult to make an appointment with her or her team either. We are usually in and out of there when we come in. Lastly I wanted to say thank you to Janice O for being such a great nurse. I had some concerns the day prior to my sons surgery and she provided me with education and interventions to mitigate the issue we were having - AND she was even kind enough to check on Max the next day. If you ever get a chance to read this, I hope you know that I really appreciated your quality patient care to my son. Thank you again! Thank you for taking such great care of my little guy! Your team is extraordinary!
