We are looking for a pediatrician. A friend recommended the La Jolla Children Clinic and to meet…read morewith Dr. Gainor. Made a prenatal pediatric appointment yesterday but there office was too busy and rescheduled today. I was initially upset that the wait took so long but after meeting with Dr. Gainor today I am really glad that I came back. My objective was to see if this would be a good fit for me and my child in the near future. Here's what I loved about my experience: - Dr. Gainor is one of 4 physicians. She has been working there for 6 years+ at this particular clinic from the start when Dr. Paul (Owner) decided to open up the clinic. - She spent a good amount of time with me answering all of my questions. I got a good feeling of what this office was about and how they take care of patients. - She was very knowledgable. She took notes on her laptop listening and noting details while asking questions to learn about me. - She reassured me that they are available, they do not use an answering service like most doctors and take the calls themselves off hours. Having 24/7 support was very important to me. -She went through the logistics of pre and post delivery. This was nice because these details were not exactly covered by the OB. The more she talked the more I became confident and comfortable that this would be a perfectly fine place to be a patient at. - They are located in the heart of La Jolla Bird Rock, an easy walk from home. What could improve: If the doctors are delayed due to whatever reason, simply to give the patients a heads up and give them an option to come back at a better time. This would allow patients with non-urgent visits to rebook and the other patients who were also in line but had more important concerns can be seen sooner because of the other patients choosing to reschedule. The waiting room is compact and can accommodate maybe 6 adults max with a couple of children. There was a lady with her small baby who sat outside on the steps because the room was already getting packed. So just know it can be a bit packed during busy times. Other than that, Two Thumbs up for prenatal visit with Dr. Gainor.

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!

As a result, I was late for my meetings, and some had to be rescheduled. When I asked for additional parking validation, they told me they could only validate for one hour, regardless of whether it's for one or two kids. Does this mean I can be 30 minutes late for my appointment next time? This is not the only time. This keeps on happening.

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. After our sons first check up (with the assigned Dr) a few days after we left the hospital, I had that new motherly gut instinct that this was not the dr, nor the office I wanted to bring my child to for the next 10 years. 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. I can not say enough good things about her and the other ladies in the office. I get so excited to go in and visit them! Not to mention my little guy loves the office, the staff and Dr. D. So so so happy we found this office. Couldn't be happier!!!

His printed instruction sheets are extremely thorough too. They answer many questions that could come up. We were told that Dr. Angell Shieh was "hand-picked" by Dr. Walls and I find a lot of comfort in knowing that. Dr. Shieh was actually described to us as "like a younger Dr. Walls."
