My 12 year old daughter has been going to Dr. Kozak for years. This year was very difficult as her…read moredaddy and I just separated. Dr. Kozak knew and our annual wellness visit turned into a very special visit where Dr. Kozak spent so much time talking with my daughter about how my daughter is dealing with all this and her social and emotional well being (also difficult in these tween years). I can not tell you how much I appreciated this thoughtful approach to the whole wellbeing of a child's health. It brought tears to my eyes (and also my daughter's eyes) as Dr. Kozak really honed in on some of her big emotions. I can not recommend Dr. Kozak enough if you want a Dr. that doesn't just look at numbers but actually SEES your child for who they are and how best to support them.

My daughter has been privileged to have Dr. Kozak as her pediatrician since birth (she is now 13)…read more Dr. Kozak goes above and beyond to really get to know each child as an individual. Dr. Kozak's knowledge and experience shows in the way she treats her patients, and in the way she communicates with parents. When Dr. Kozak feels that there is an issue that needs to be handled by another provider, she has a vast network of specialists to refer to. We have never been steered in the wrong direction by her, in her advice, care, and recommendations to outside providers. I know that over the last year or two, she's had some changes in her office staff. While I have had very few negative interactions with her and her staff, we've always been able to get appointments, refills and referrals in a timely manner. If you are lucky enough to be able to have her see your child, take that chance!

Best doctor ever!!! His bed manner with the kids are amazing. My kids love him and have seen him…read moresince they were born. Veronica, one of his assistants is always so helpful too. He is available if you message himvia my chart and him or his assistant will respond the same day right . I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Doctor. They way he communicates and treats the kids and the parents is something they should teach at medical school. Thank you Doctor Kwon!

Oh my lord. He is the best pediatrician ever. If you do not like him, I don't know what's wrong…read morewith you. I work in the healthcare field and I guarantee you it is very rare and it is extremely difficult to find a doctor like him. He is not only knowledgeable and skilled but more than anything, he is wonderfully caring. Dr. Kwon takes his time in assessing each kid and he talks to each kid to make sure that he or she is comfortable. Dr. Kwon then always spends a great amount of time with the parents in ensuring that the each parent is free of concerns and questions. I can go on and on about Dr. Kwon because he truly is amazing. If you are looking for a pediatrician, choose Dr. Kwon, you will not regret it.

I've been seeing Dr. Amina for my two girls (ages 2 and 4) for 6 months now, and my experience has…read morebeen very positive so far. 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!

I would highly recommended Dr. Curitore (part of St Joseph Medical Group) for those parents looking…read morefor a world class pediatrician! As new parents, there are undoubtedly many challenges, and having an excellent doctor as our support has made the world of difference. With Dr Curitore, we can see/feel she's someone that is truly passionate about her work and genuinely cares about the well being of her patients. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, caring, and friendly. We love her bedside manners and can tell our child loves to be seen by her as evident in the exuberant smiles every time (this is contrary to my initial belief that children loathe going to the doctors, haha!). In addition, as there were some unforeseen situations requiring engagement with Dr Curitore, we consulted with her multiple times via the St Joseph app and she is so thorough with her explanation every single time and we appreciate her responsiveness! Anyhow, don't think words alone can describe how happy we are with Dr Curitore, we truly feel blessed and grateful to have her as my child's pediatrician.

Dr. Curitore happened to be the pediatrician doing rounds at St. Joseph when our youngest was born…read more She made a great impression so we decided to continue the relationship as our child's pediatrician. Best decision. Dr. Curitore is so thorough. She reads the charts and follows up. I don't know how she finds the time but she makes each patient feel like they are her only patient. Navigating today's healthcare systems can be daunting, but Dr. Curitore not only provides the guidance needed but also proactively steps in as a strong ally to overcome or bypass obstacles. Dr. Curitore exemplifies what it means to be a child's healthcare advocate - something parents don't really know they need - until they need it.

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.

I would not recommend Newport Children's Medical Group. Years ago we went to the Laguna Beach and…read morethe Newport office, their organization and professionalism was a struggle, so we decided to not return to this practice. 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.
