They take the time to truly listen to concerns, answer every question thoroughly, and never make us feel rushed. What stands out most is how gentle and patient they are with our baby.

As parents, especially in those early postpartum months, having a pediatrician who is both knowledgeable and compassionate makes all the difference. We are extremely happy!

I appreciate how the staff truly makes it happen so I don't have to take my daughter to urgent care to be seen the same day. We were seen right away and all of my concerns were addressed. Top notch team. My daughter has special needs and has been to so many doctors and Dr Reda and his team has helped in so many ways over the past couple of years get connected to other specialists in the area for surgery, speech and occupational therapy and custom orthotics. The follow up is incredible and coordination of care with other specialists is truly first class. My husbands kids are now adults and they both went to Dr Reda as children. If you are looking for comprehensive care for your children in Newport Beach, this is it.

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.

Shout Out To Coastal Kids…read more I selected our pediatrician by finding this picture. She was even better than I perceived her to be. Dr. O'Connell is retiring she shared with us today at my son's 18 month old appointment. My boy wanted to follow her out as she closed door. He fell to the floor and cried. He is a feeler too. Believe it or not I had an iota something was up before she told us. It speaks volumes about her character that she relayed this in person. She loves what she does and even jokes that she's not sure she can stay away in retirement. I had an especially great reception at the front today. The girls were engaging and laughed at my jokes. Angus, the sweet and cool nurse was so sweet and helpful. She administered my boy's shot like the pro she is! And cooled my babe out like a doll face. It was so inviting of her to tell us that our usual nuse Zorina says hi. It's all about the vibe for me. I need it to be on. Happy to share this goodness here. Peace and love. Happiness too.

It's the only vaccine we didn't get and it wasn't necessary. One time I called his office to ask a question. They thought they put me on hold and started making fun of me for asking how much caffeine I can have while nursing. MOST IMPORTANTLY he missed a recommendation to get a specific medical test at 2 months of age from his doctors who delivered him due to an issue he had at birth. He said the recommendation was at one year. I found out he was wrong months later. Lastly his office is sooooo depressing. His ancient metal scales made my baby roll and hit his head. All this doctor did was stress vaccines on us. Otherwise he was useless and SO so rude. I dreaded my baby's appointments because I'd have to see this guy. I'm so happy we left.

He has wonderful bedside manner, came early both days to look at my baby, and answered a lot of my questions. My son is 2 months now and over the last 2 months, I have contacted Dr. Yu with random questions and he would call me or answer my emails within 24 hours. Made me feel at ease with a lot of decision makings. I highly recommend him and his office. Only advice! Please change your door! Lol. His office has a heavy duty door that slams loud every time someone leaves and they aren't holding the door before it shuts. Definitely has scared my son out of sleep when we've gone for appointments

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.

Dr. Vivi takes all the time needed to thoroughly explain diagnoses and treatment options, answering every question with patience and expertise.

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.

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.

I would not recommend Newport Children's Medical Group.

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 rarely do you find a doctors office that doesn't brush off your concerns and will see you same day, sometimes even within an hour of calling.

Referrals are done promptly and appropriately and we have never once felt rushed or like we left without clear explanations of the plan.

The doctor is proactive in letting us know what to expect in the coming weeks and months and thoroughly checks my baby.
