Emily LeMay Gaitan: I am looking for a great pediatrician recommendation in Long Beach. I have Anthem Blue Cross HMO so if anybody has a recommendation for a practitioner in network that they swear by, I'd love to hear it.

Dr. Reshma Aggarwal (562) 481-3500. She is my kids pediatrician and I could not imagine using another doctor. Sweetest disposition, professional, clean office, great staff, loving mother and my kids love her.
Karee: Does anyone have a good recommendation for a pediatrician for my 9 month old? There are so many to choose from that I feel like I'd just be picking a name out of a hat. Thank you so much!

Dr. Carolyn Nichols 562 481-3500 Healthcare Partners off of San Antonio Dr. and Atlantic Ave. She is great!
Crystal Lynn Tomaino McNaughton: Does anyone know of any natural-friendly pediatricians in Long Beach? Especially if they do not push things like vaccine or circumcision.

Our pediatrician isn't holistic, but he respects our decisions for our son. He's caring, calm and reassuring. I can't recommend him enough. Dr. Alexander Maneffa, HealthCare Partners, 562-481-3500. Our son is intact and we've both vaccinated and not vaccinated. Kudos to you for informing yourself.
