However, depending on your…read moreassigned primary provider, it can be difficult to see the same person for annual wellness visits. This makes it challenging to build a consistent relationship and can feel impersonal. In one case, a pediatrician refused to prescribe an antidepressant for my child, despite her long-term therapist recommending it after other approaches had been exhausted. We had been actively addressing her care, but her depression was worsening. The situation was framed as though I was pushing for medication, which was not accurate--I was responding to clear signs of distress and her own requests for help. The pediatrician spoke with my daughter alone for approximately five minutes and appeared to make a decision based on that brief interaction. My daughter later shared that she felt uncomfortable, unheard, and somewhat led in her responses. Her condition worsened significantly, spiraling into SEVERE DEPRESSION and SELF HARM. While the provider was kind, the approach felt dismissive of parental input. It gave the impression that a brief interaction was given more weight than the insight of those more familiar with my daughter's history.

Dr Tolba did nothing for my son who was later diagnosed with strep and very ill at the time of our…read morevisit. He was extremely short and unprofessional from the beginning and spent a very long time tying while we sat in silence. We later learned we were charged double the amount to sit there while we were given nutritional notes we did not ask for (we eat very clean). In short we have been given the run around when questioned about our bill which was almost $700 before insurance ($460 is what we owe) to tell my son "if you're sad you should talk to someone" and dietary notes. He was sad because he was sick!!!! I'm paying this bill so it doesn't go to collections but trust me and find another doctor!!!! I've never been so disgusted with a doctors bedside manner before.

I was honestly shocked by the cost of a very routine visit here. After insurance, we were still…read morecharged $345 per child for a simple ear infection appointment. For two kids, that came out to $690 out of pocket. This wasn't a complicated visit, no special testing, just a standard pediatric diagnosis and treatment. Being charged that amount after insurance feels excessive and out of touch with what most families can reasonably afford. At these rates, it's hard to justify coming here for common childhood illnesses. The care itself was fine, but pricing matters. I would strongly recommend asking very specific questions about costs upfront, even if you have insurance, so you're not caught off guard like we were.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would for the wonderful phlebotomists that work here. Not once have they tortured me trying to draw blood.

I appreciate that their aim is to keep their patient roster relatively small, so that they can really focus on patient care. The location is freeway close, however parking can be a pain. When driving into the office complex, the signage may lead you to the left, but their assigned parking spaces are to the right. The spaces are pretty cramped everywhere, so trying to get your door fully opened to get to baby's carseat can be a challenge. It was our first visit here to the new location, and so far so good!

We came in for a well visit for our daughter and discussed a few items with our doctor one of which was stomach issues which she was having for a few weeks to that point. Since this was a large concern of ours we asked for a CAT scan just to make sure everything is okay. Again this may be overboard possibly but we just want to make sure nothing major is going on. The doctor deterred our concern and said it will likely go away and the CAT scan isn't necessary. Well it's been over a month since that visit and our daughter is still complaining about her stomach. I call in to the office to get a referral at this point and what does the doctor say. We need to come in for another appointment and not only that but the representative said the stomach issues weren't even noted in her medical records. Im a business owner myself and to me this seems like a bit of a cash grab considering they're requiring another visit to discuss something we've already talked about (though apparently we didn't?? Hmm). One other cash grab item that disturbed me last visit was a cholesterol scan they 'recommended' but no one told us the results until we asked?? Again I just don't like the professionalism and not sure i understand the motives. Is it actually my kids health or is it what's best to benefit the corporation?

We had a pediatrician picked out prior to delivery (9 months ago), but after my c section they mentioned that the dr we chose was no longer taking new patients.. so they scheduled us a pediatrician.

I went on yelp to find a Dr. immediately after that appointment and came across Carmel Valley Pediatrics. Our first appointment with Dr. D was amazing. She was so sweet, nurturing and really made me feel comfortable as a new mom! She always has time for questions, and as new parents we ask tons of dumb questions and she's always is so sweet and so helpful and makes us feel so supported.
