    If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Kena Gunter has been seeing my son Arlo since he was a…read morebaby, and I truly can't imagine trusting anyone else with his care. She is more than just a provider she is an essential part of our lives. This amazing woman has the depth of knowledge, compassion, and intuition that surpasses anything I've ever seen in healthcare. Honestly, she knows more than most doctors I've come across. She listens, she cares deeply, and she always goes above and beyond. She's not just incredible at what she does--she's a gift. We're beyond grateful to have her in Arlo's life.

    I'm posting this review on this location because, in reality, all of the Coastal Kids offices…read moreoperate the same way. If you're a patient, you'll likely end up driving to whichever branch happens to have the first available appointment, so I've been to multiple locations and the experience has been consistently disappointing. Since the practice was sold to private equity, the focus seems to have shifted from patient care to maximizing revenue. Getting an appointment is incredibly difficult, even if you can get someone on the phone. The patient portal is another constant source of frustration--expect to spend an hour just trying to regain access if something goes wrong. The office staff across the locations I've visited seem exhausted and jaded, and every interaction feels like there's another fee waiting around the corner. The final straw came when we switched to a new pediatrician. Our new provider tried to retrieve my children's vaccination records through the California Immunization Registry, only to discover Coastal Kids hadn't entered them. Because of that oversight, I had to request the records directly from Coastal Kids--and they charged me $20 per child to send the records to our new doctor's office. It's hard not to feel like families are viewed as a revenue stream rather than patients. We left this practice because the experience had become consistently frustrating, and the way our departure was handled only reinforced that we made the right decision
