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.

The final straw was my son being sick for over six weeks with severely swollen tonsils. Despite multiple visits and two rounds of antibiotics, there was no improvement and no proactive follow-up. On a third visit, we were sent for an X-ray only to confirm what was already visible. I had to call multiple times to obtain results, a school note, and guidance. Dr. Ha did not personally follow up, and no voicemail was ever left. When I calmly expressed my disappointment with the lack of follow-through, Dr. Ha responded defensively and snapped back rather than addressing the concern. Only after continued insistence was appropriate treatment prescribed--care that should have been provided earlier. Pediatric care should be attentive, responsive, and respectful.

The medical care is exceptional, but the office's billing system and front desk management are so disorganized and dishonest that I can no longer remain silent. I feel it is important to warn other parents about the administrative nightmares I have faced here. In October 2025, I brought both of my children in specifically for flu vaccines. I was explicitly told by the office staff that there would be no copay for flu shots. However, during a follow-up visit on January 8th for my eldest child's fever, the front office nurse suddenly claimed I owed a copay for the October visit. When I questioned this, she admitted the mistake and assured me she would remove the charge. Today, I received separate bills for both children with completely conflicting and nonsensical information: For my eldest: They claim I didn't pay the $25 copay for the January visit. This is false. I paid it on the spot, but they now claim that payment was applied to the October flu shot visit because I supposedly "asked a question" to the doctor, which they coded as a full office visit without any prior notice. For my youngest: They are charging a copay for the October flu shot visit. My youngest ONLY received the vaccine and no medical questions were asked, yet they are still demanding a copay and told me to "call my insurance" instead of fixing their own internal error. It is incredibly frustrating to be told one thing in person and then receive a completely different bill months later. The lack of transparency and the office's refusal to take responsibility for their billing errors is unacceptable. It's a shame that such a high-quality doctor is represented by such a disorganized and unprofessional front office. As much as I like the doctor, I cannot recommend this practice due to these dishonest and stressful billing practices. What hurts the most is that I genuinely wanted to support this local practice. Since I have a PPO insurance plan, I don't need a referral and could have easily gone to a local pharmacy or Costco for these flu vaccines. I chose to pay for parking and drive all the way here specifically to support the doctor's business. To be met with such dishonest billing practices and unprofessional excuses in return is deeply disappointing. I will no longer be going out of my way to support a clinic that treats its loyal patients this way.

He's very caring and explains things for us parents to understand. He deserves all the stars. However, I am rating this 2 stars because of the front staff. They're not the kindest people; often, barely a greeting when we enter. They once charged me twice for an appointment. They take forever to get back to you on something. My latest qualm was last week. My 3 year old was having diarrhea all week and then started vomiting. We've been coming since my child was a newborn. My husband called on a Thursday try to make a next day appointment for Friday, before going into the weekend. Whoever took the call just said they did not have anything available until the following week and that was it. There was no care, not even a "let me check with the doctor and see what we can do" or "let me see what Dr. Chuang says." It was so disappointing.

The first time I sat in the waiting room an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment to be seen just for the dr to brush off every concern. The whole visit took over 2 hours and there was only 1 other patient. The 2nd time was 3 weeks later and I showed up 10 min early for a 10am appointment. The receptionist took vitals and the dr wasn't even in the building. We sat in the waiting room for over 40 min before deciding to leave. The dr drove past me as I was leaving the parking lot lot. Apparently coming in late is becoming a normal practice for this dr. Beware this is not a medical group. This is one individual dr that runs this office. If she's not there on time youre waiting for her. I see she used to get great reviews, but maybe time has taken its tole and the quality isn't there anymore.

Several years later, when our pediatrician sold his practice, we thought we'd give Newport children's medical group another try. Again, the Newport office is disorganization, and Dr. Kellum was truly a disappointment. 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. I am not one to leave negative reviews, but when it comes to your child's health and safety, I will spend the time to leave a review to share my experiences.

Very rude person on the phone. We have been going to Dr. Bennet's office since my son was born on 2017. We moved to LA 12/2017 and would still drive down for all his well baby appointment. Never missed a single appointment and we have always been on time. Back story: After thanksgiving, my son got sick and my in-laws, who were visiting us for the holidays recommended that we go look for a pediatrician close to home in LA. So, I brought my son in to a new pediatrician with high reviews from parents we know, thinking this new pediatrician will be able to be as thorough and on point with the diagnosis and treatment like Dr Bennet but we were wrong. Now, 3 wks of doing follow-up with the new pediatrician with no resolution. I think it's been safe to say that we tried and gave him enough chances to show that he's not quite capable. Long story short, my son is more congested, though he has no more fever but quite short of breath esp at night and coughing nonstop that he started vomiting due to the nonstop coughing after meals. He had no comfortable and restful sleep ever since. And no parent doesn't like seeing their child miserable. This morning I decided to call Dr Bennet's office hoping to get a time slot for him to be seen. The scheduler just told me that I should just continue seeing the new pediatrician even after I explained our situation. She then insisted that if it's been 3wks, then why not go to an urgent care or ER instead. I told her it doesn't warrant us to go to an ER or urgent care since he doesn't have any high grade fever and I really would prefer my son to be seen at clinic and assessed if there is an available time slot for today. She then gave me all excuses and she herself mentioned "I don't want to sound that I'm denying a sick child for appointment but you said you're son is no longer a patient here and you're driving 1hr to get here is not necessary. We don't want to be liable for anything. Also does your insurance let you see different practitioners?" That just infuriated me. First of all, if a parent is willing to drive their sick kid to just get answer it's our choice. Second, if you're on my son's chart you can see that he's been there recently either for well baby visit or for health issues. It clearly shows that he has never been discharged from your office. I, myself, am a NP at 1 of California's top Transplant Center and I have my own set of schedulers and my schedulers know their job description clearly. This nasty rude scheduler, has no right or the position to insist or give any medical advice on what a patient or family should do. All a scheduler needs to do is check if there is any availability and be polite if there's none and see if there's another day or time. I would never hire a rude staff, schedulers are gatekeepers for any clinic. That being said, they represent me and even if my work ethic is impeccable it actually affects mine as well. This is a complaint from a mother and a medical provider as well that knows the clinic workflow. I had to insist our rights and tell her that we didn't get discharged from Dr Bennet and has been diligently coming to her office even though we moved from OC to LA county. And our insurance allows us to go to any medical practitioner we deem capable of helping our sick son. We don't have to explain ourselves as if we are under a scheduler's mercy and the reason why we pay for expensive medical insurance because it gives us the freedom to go where we want to. With all these being said, I want this to be a lesson for parents and other patients and also a lesson for that rude scheduler.
