My obstetrician told me she was her pediatrician for her two children. I could never have been happier. She doesn't just focus on the child but the child and family's well being specially the mom and that's why I love her. We moved to LA 4 years ago and we tried two pediatricians here but they're not the same as Dr. Misra so I drive down to Newport Beach to see her. Even the staff at Dr. Misra understand how to deal with kids specially someone sensitive like mine. You can tell Dr. Misra loves the work she does and her patients. It's not about the money for her nor the fancy office. Yes sometimes there's a wait because she takes her time with her patients and her office is always busy.

Dr. Vivi is truly an amazing doctor. As a first-time mom, finding someone I completely trust with…read moremy baby means everything, and she has exceeded every expectation. When my baby first got really sick and his pediatrician couldn't see him for two days, I called Dr. Vivi's office and was able to get in within the hour... we switched then and there. From the moment we arrived, I felt taken care of. She is extremely thorough, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. During the visit, she got down on the floor with my baby while he was playing with a myriad of toys in the office, making him feel comfortable and at ease. The entire office visit was actually enjoyable, which as a mom, especially with a sick baby, is priceless. She never rushes, truly listens, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. I can call her anytime, and she always takes the time to listen and care. If you're looking for a doctor who truly goes above and beyond for both child and parent, I cannot recommend Dr. Vivi highly enough.

I never have to wait on hold; my calls are answered immediately by the friendliest and most professional staff I've ever encountered. Scheduling an appointment is a breeze, often same-day, which eliminates the stress of urgent health concerns. During my visits, I never feel rushed. Dr. Vivi takes all the time needed to thoroughly explain diagnoses and treatment options, answering every question with patience and expertise. The personalized attention is second to none--they truly know me as a person, not just a patient file. The level of care and convenience provided by the entire team is worth every penny. If you are looking for truly exceptional, personalized, and proactive healthcare, I highly recommend Dr. Vivi!

My family has had the most incredible experiences with OCEAN PEDIATRICS…read more Our forever doctor is Dr. Steven Abelowitz, and we love him. My daughter is always excited to see doctor Steve, for both well visits and sick visits. She says, "doctor steve will make everything better. I want to go see doctor Steve, and only doctor Steve." He is patient, kind, thorough, communicative and very knowledgeable. We feel so confident in his care and are so grateful for how he has gone above and beyond for our family. He has been there for my daughter since birth, and has helped us navigate through major health issues. You never know how great your doctor is until you have an emergency, and we feel blessed to have had our daughter, Allison, under the care of Dr Abelowitz during those difficult times. He has always made sure my child has received the best care, also referring us to excellent specialists when necessary. He has followed up with the referrals and made sure that everyone treating my kid is on the same page. I cannot recommend this office enough. I know my daughter has always received the best care with doctor Abelowitz. In addition to everything stated above, The practice is very organized and I have been very impressed with the ability to make same day appointments and are generally able to see our favourite doctor, Dr. Steven Abelowitz. This review is longer than most as I want to repeat : he is with OCEAN PEDIATRICS. If you're curious as to WHY he is not at Coastal kids (they're to blame for the negative reviews, in my opinion) kindly read this article: https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/story/2024-08-02/newport-beach-pediatrician-sues-hedge-fund-he-partnered-with-alleges-managers-put-profits-before-patients Don't believe the negative reviews as coastal kids and those running it are the ones who are at fault (this is my opinion, and my opinion alone). The hedge fund currently running coastal kids (Steve's old practice), are putting profits over patients. They forced him out for putting PATIENTS FIRST. This hedge fund in particular seems to NOT care about your child at all, and only focus on the big P: PROFITS. This is why non-professionals (like the entity running coastal kids) should *never* be allowed to partner with professionals. It compromises professional integrity and puts profits over people. Attorneys and doctors are prohibited from partnering with non-attorneys and non-doctors for exactly this reason. Maybe some hedge funds have gotten around it by having doctors as partners. New legislation needs to be passed, prohibiting any organization with a single non-professional partner from this kind of activity. I have been WAITING for Steve to open up a new practice, and am so happy OCEAN PEDIATRICS is OPEN & accepting new patients. My daughter was one of the first- I got her in their system on the day they opened as I completely trust Steve and his amazing staff. That said, If you're want your child to receive the BEST care, call OCEAN PEDIATRICS and make an appointment with doctor Steve Abelowitz.

What a shame. My whole family( cousins included) have been patients of dr a below it's for 25 some…read moreodd years. Back when it was one office in Newport Beach. The corporate greed and lack of care has officially taken hold here. Multiple offices, revolving doors with staff and doctors, obviously unhappy staff that can care less about their jobs or their patients. I should have known better then to continue as a patient. I am the patient that just left the credit card on file, with insurance or not, I trusted. BETRaYED. They are not in the business of healing, they are in the business of steeling. Keep your receipts, record your phone calls, document your visits. They say the bill insurance and they don't. Every time I go I get a bill above and beyond what I am supposed to pay( office visit 1761 dollars), ya right!!! Then try to get a hold of someone's and when you do you at spoken down to. Then the mistake is found, no apology, just "we will call you back, then the bill magically turns to zero Ya. You can keep your slimy greedy business model for yourself. No longer patient centered. Again. What a shame. Dr abelowitz, though your probably too busy to notice, or read this message, I know medicine has changed, I know I can't expect more then 5-10 minutes after waiting for an hour for a appointment that was made weeks in advance. Why do you continue to grow your business if you are not really trying to be a health care provider anymore. The lines have been blurred for sure. For the prospective patients, do your research, try to see the same Doctor twice, you can't. You will Likely see a PA because that's all they will give you, because they care so much about your kids Try to get strait forward billing, you can't , because they don't know what they are doing either. It's like the blind leading the blind.

It brings such peace of mind knowing that expert care is only a phone call or text away, even after hours.

Dr. O takes the time to sit with you, explain everything thoroughly, help you understand what's normal and what's not, and guide you through the many questions and concerns that come with parenting.

Since my daughter had to go to the NICU, she was bottle fed and I had a tough time getting her to breastfeed. Dr. O is an LC, so when I'd come in for my weekly checkups, she'd help me nurse her and give me tips and was a great resource. She always takes her time with you and you never feel rushed through your appointment. We have dealt with some food allergies which she has been so great with as well - constantly helping me navigate the intricacies of breastfeeding a baby with allergies. It is so reassuring that she is reachable after hours if needed and I couldn't be happier with our choice to have Dr. O as our primary care physician. Not to mention she has the absolute sweetest office staff and nurses as well!

They let me wait in the lobby and after 10 minutes their manager came to me and told me that doctor has a very complicated patient today and they need to reschedule my appointment!!! Wow!!!! What a complicated doctor! I drove 30 minutes with my month 8th pregnancy situation to see the doctor and now they easily let me go!!! They could have called me before coming!

She called me back within minutes and gave me explicit instructions regarding how to treat her fever and bring it down. Dr. Khorashadi has a very funny personality, and she's great with the kids. I highly recommend her, she's incredible!!

I'm very sad that I can only give it five stars here at most, because I think Dr.Lee deserves a…read moreten-star rating. Even more and perfect. Let me just say this firstly: I guarantee with my own integrity that you will not find a better doctor in this area! Without comparison to other doctors, you might never know how good he is. My daughter has been seeing a Chinese-speaking doctor because of my mother's language barrier, but my son has been seeing Dr. Lee all the time! I'd always had a very good impression of him with my son because he always came to see us very quickly whenever I went to his clinic. First, the waiting time was very short, and second, he was incredibly patient. He answered all my questions very seriously and wasn't in a hurry to leave. I often asked really silly questions, but he always answered them patiently! Believe me, if it were any other doctor, they would have left long ago! Everyone's time is precious. If you can find a doctor like Dr. Lee who is willing to explain any details to you, you must cherish that. His professionalism and knowledge are beyond question. He always manages to pinpoint the problem accurately. Just a very simple example: When my son had a stomachache, I took him to other doctors, and they recommended an X-ray. But Dr. Lee told me that many children have stomach aches due to constipation. I later discovered that every time he complained of stomach pain, he would ask to go to the toilet. Of course, there are many other examples like Dr. Lee,who is exceptionally gentle and attentive when administering vaccines. Compared to other doctors who can even apply bandages crookedly. He never over-treats, and he never creates anxiety for you. No other doctor can compare to him in this respect! As I mentioned, my daughter has been seeing a Chinese-speaking doctor, but recently she caught the flu. Yesterday, Friday, I called her doctor, who very indifferently and barely answered some questions. Today, my daughter has a fever, and because it's the weekend, I couldn't contact them at all to offer any help. I had no choice but to leave a message to Dr. Lee. I really didn't expect him to reply to both of my messages, the second one even at almost 10 pm without any paid! This isn't even within his job description. He could have easily refused to help me. But because of his kindness and his genuine concern for children's , he chose to help. He told me because my son is his patient so he likes to help our family. Of course, I need to immediately transfer my daughter to Dr. Lee's .There's no need to see any other doctor, even if it means communicating in English. I remember asking Dr. Lee before, "Why don't you accept insurance premiums?" Because he doesn't, many people would seek out doctors who do. He told me he didn't want to spend time arguing with insurance companies; he wanted to spend his time seeing and taking care of patients, that's exactly what he did. I'm glad he did that because if he took insurance, his clinic would probably be the busiest in the area. He only charges 100 for a consultation, unlike many places where it's 300. This proves that he genuinely wants what's the best for the children and helping children, not just making money. I realized long ago that my child was more important than $100. I preferred not to go through insurance because when you encounter crucial problems, you realize it was absolutely worth it.

As in any doctor's office, there is sometimes a 20-30 minute wait, but seeing her is worth it. I'd say that 4 times out of 5, she's been able to take us for a same-day appointment. She is gentle and takes her time with each child. Dr. Amina is knowledgable with homeopathic medicine as well as Western medicine, and I appreciate that she tries natural remedies first before going the route of medication or antibiotics (which has worked each time!). She's also considerate of how many factors can affect my child when she's sick. For instance, she guessed that my daughter may have asthma when I brought her in for a lingering post-cold cough (her father has asthma, which I hadn't mentioned!). Her staff is friendly, and my girls love the colorful play waiting room, kid-appropriate TV programs playing in the background, child-friendly bathroom, and the cute themed exam rooms. The girls leave with Disney stickers (makes them smile!). And there hasn't been any tears yet. So thankful that such an accessible, caring and skilled pediatrician is only 12 minutes from our home!

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.
