Trying to choose a pediatrician... Anyone have someone they love? Relatively close to Irvine would be ideal!
Jodie M. replied:
Dr Lazyt Shannon or Dr Akey
Anna S. replied:
Ours is not close to irvine but we LOVE ours! Really small practice...only two doctors. Dr. Chris Lin & Dr. Juvy Young. They are in Mission Viejo.
Misha M. replied:
Please go to Dr. Lin and Dr. Juvy. They are right by trabuco hills high school. We were with them from the beginning. We were at the doctor he bought practice from before that. He sees most of saddleback staff kids. Tell them you know the McGills!!! I might still drive 4 hours to go see him!
Kaitlin S. replied:
You would love Dr. Akey! No joke! You need to go to him. I want to tell strangers that they should...so just do it!
Stephanie M. replied:
I also just love Danielle Winkler at Irvine Pediatrics! We moved to Costa Mesa and I still make the drive for her! Great office and staff
Rachel S. replied:
Doctors of Kids and Teens in Irvine! My family has been seeing Dr. Jenkins for 25 years! 4050 Barranca Parkway, Irvine, CA 92604
Kelly W. replied:

Lori D. replied:
Dr Shannon is amazing
Lori D. replied:
We also see Dr. Shannon as the girls got older she is wonderful
Brooke W. replied:
Dr Grady Huckaby. He's off of culver and the 405. I love him.
Christa C. replied:

Beckie F. replied:
Dr.Yu in Newport Beach
Jenny T. replied:
We go to Dr. Akey and love him too! He even came to the hospital everyday when Gianna was born to check up on her.
Angela P. replied:
Dr. Winkler, Liss, and Tse at irvine peds are all great! We started seeing dr. Auth at seaview peds and so far he's been awesome.
Jennifer S. replied:
My mom works at South Orange County Pediatrics, I went to them, great offices, Lake Forrest i believe is the closest one to Irvine. Not too far. http://www.socpa.com/
Tara A. replied:
Dr Wesley Kim. Mission viejo.:)
Melanie F. replied:
I second Jodie Meschuk picks!
Calli C. replied:
Danielle Winkler. I take Nora there and she is at Irvine pediatrics. They have a sick entrance and well entrance so you never have to worry about sick kids in the waiting room. And every Monday-friday 8-9 am and saturday 830-noon they have walk in hours...no appt necessary! I love it.
Maggie H. replied:
Dr. Emilie Chow. She is at UCI. She's so nice, Ty loves her, and she's not "pushy". She won't give you any mommy guilt or make you feel like her way is the only way. And that's hard to find with pediatricians unfortunately...
Corbett N. replied:
I second Dr Akey in mission viejo! Nicest Christian man who completely honors your mommy instincts! It's his own private practice so he is the only one who sees the patients and he prays over Poesy everytime we see him!
Tamara A. replied:
We loved Dr Tse at Irvine pediatrics. I loved all the doctors there and they always got my kids in right away.

Any recommendations for a Pediatrician? Preferably Irvine or south of Irvine.
Kristyn R. replied:
Here's his info. http://m.sjo.org/Our-Doctors/W/Allan-M-Wong-M-D-.aspx He visited Leah in the hospital on his day off...just stuff like that makes a difference. And he never makes me feel crazy for asking questions. And when you are the parents of a child who died, well, you have to have a patient doc
Sarah R. replied:
They have an office five minutes from my house.:-) And I loved what Dr. Johnson wrote on their website.
Karri N. replied:
Jan Johnson is my kids Dr also, seaview ped is great and ive been to all 3 offices. small world especially since my kids are so much older
Kristy F. replied:
Jakes primary care is Dr. Brown. But he also sees dr. Pelinka and we love her. With his asthma we spend lots of time there and have seen most of the PA's too. Everyone is fantastic and we have had nothing but great experiences.
Caryn K. replied:
Coastal Kids. They just opened an office in Irvine.

April O. replied:
Check out Dr. Jeremy Kaslow in Tustin. Someone rec'd him to me when I first found out I was preggo. I'll keep an ear out w/ my "crunchy" mama friends.
Giselle B. replied:
I saw Dr Lin once and that was one too many. There is Dr Akey...I think Mission Viejo. Most similar to Dr A.
Sarah D. replied:
Jason Stellman haha! I am pretty sure my doctor growing up was doctor Willis too.
Jenny S. replied:
What about Dr. Sears? Does he take ppo?
April O. replied:
I've heard good things about Dr. Young... So sorry you can't see Dr. A anymore. I'd better check if Blue Shield PPO is still ok.
Julie W. replied:
Buuuut Sarah I asked this same question on FB and about 4 of my trusted friends recommended Coastal Kids (Irvine, ladera and Newport offices). Dr Abelowitz is founding MD. I've been taking my kids for about a year and navigating thru diagnostics and specialists for Noah with Dr. Kornu. She's been really great. I don't vaccinate and have never been pushed. Very organized practice. Can always get in even within an hour or so. Can always get a hold of dr. I don't have babes tho so can't recommend on that level...
Mindy R. replied:
It may be a little too far for you.. but we LOVED Mia Bella Pediatrics. All the docs are women/moms and are so awesome. We had Dr. McNulty but have seen all 3 of the drs and they are incredible. Right off the fwy at la paz.
Jason S. replied:
When I was a kid I went to Dr. Willis in Huntington. Of course, he would be around 103 years old now, but.
Jake S. replied:
Not sure how far it would be for you. Mine was Dr. Lindakay Rees and she works out of Beach Pediatrics in HB. Loved that woman and the whole office. Perhaps give them a look if it's not out of your area?
Whitney E. replied:
Check out Coastal Kids they are in Irvine. They were very flexible with vaccines schedules.
Melis D. replied:
Yes, Dr Abelowitz is amazing! We've seen several of the other Drs with Coastal Kids when he's been out of office & they've all been great!
Does anyone have a Kaiser pediatrician in OC that they love? We'd greatly appreciate any recommendations.
Heather D. replied:
We use Dr. Troyan out of the Mission Viejo office. I love him! Mackenzie was so sick in those early months and I ha to take her in 3-4 times a week so I got to know him well. His nurses are also so wonderful. Highly recommend him.
Cynthia Q. replied:
Allison was telling me that Mike! Yes I will be at the Sand Canyon hospital in Irvine.
Yvette O. replied:
YES, I used to work at American Academy of Pediatrics so I know the best pediatricians in OC. At Kaiser its Dr. Nam Ky Lam, MD. BONUS: He's also an MBA hahaha
