Calling all South OC friends...seems I need a new PPO pediatrician because the one we had for 13 years retired early! So bummed and we can't stay with our current...
Michelle T. replied:
Don't you go to Wilkinson? If not, Seaview Pediatrics is awesome. It's where Stephanie and Hillary work!
Jaime A. replied:
SeaView Pediatrics - Dr Johnson is ours, but every Dr we have seen in the practice is good. They have offices in Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills and San Clemente and they have the Urgent Care/after hours center Kids Doc next to the Mission Viejo hospital
Amber S. replied:
Same as Kristin above. Julia has seen Dr Comulada for 15 years at OC Children's. she's great. We've seen the other two doctors a time or two also which we liked too. http://www.occhildrens.com/meetus/default.asp
Melissa W. replied:
http://www.occhildrens.com/meetus/default.asp We love Dr. Bayless
Elizabeth P. replied:
We have been with Seaview Pediactrics from the beginning. Dr. Shannon is our doctor. He was actually my Dr. When I was a kid. He is going to retire soon but we love all the doctors there. Three locations makes it super easy to get in when you need. Good luck.
Melissa W. replied:
Amber Schmitt oh yeah. We have been there for about 16 years with Dr Mike, But we usually get Dr Bayless. With Trey being 18 and Mason almost 17 and ash 13 we arent there as often anymore. It was sad when I took trey for his last shot when he turned 18 and got his immun card for college. Your pediatrician is part of your family for so long

Johanna Rodriguez-Toledo at Newport children's@Mission.
Kerri M. replied:
I use to take Katie to Saddleback Pediatrics and say the Nurse Pactictioner Kim Rice. She was great . They have two offices, one near Mission Hospital and another near Trabuco HS.
Michal M. replied:
We go to Dr. Lin and Dr. Young. They are amazing and we get in right away. Love them! They're a smaller practice but they always answer the phone, even on weekends.
Janel G. replied:
Love Dr Johnson.
Laya H. replied:
I second Dr Musarat Abidi949 364 9222
Stephanie B. replied:
Dr. Johnson (Seaview) only takes new patients who are infants. Dr. Paige Natori is also very popular for your girls. All the docs at Seaview are great though. Plus you can request one of the male docs for Aidan (Dr. Scott Gaitan accepts new patients). Both Drs. Natori and Gaitan are out of Aliso Viejo and Laguna Hills depending on the day of the week. Plus you may get to speak to me when you call! smile emoticon
Chloe D. replied:
We've been with Seaview Pediatrics for 16 yrs. and love all the doctors. Dr. Gaitan is awesome!!!!
Kari H. replied:
Seaview Pediatrics I have been with Dr. Jan Johnson for almost 13 years she's awesome. A wonderful Christian woman Who is strong in her faith.
Keri R. replied:
Dr Liz Dyer from Coastal Kids is great and my girls love her!
Carola S. replied:
We are big fans of Coastal Kids. We go primarily to Dr. Teschke and Dr. Cox in the Ladera office, but Liz Dyer in the Laguna office is great, too.
Kristi T. replied:
Was that Dr. DelValle? Crazy huh? We are switching to Dr. Lin and Dr. Young in MV by sprouts. Dr young is female smile emoticon . I am fighting with dr d office over records! Good luck with that!!
Trisha C. replied:
We had Dr. Juvy Young and Dr. Lin. Love their office staff too. Smaller and friendly.
Tanya D. replied:
Southern Orange county pediatric is amazing and Dr Lauren Dwinell is how my kids see and she is amazing very personal and comforting
Michelle T. replied:
Seaview has multiple doctors, I tried to see Wilkinson for my kids but she wasn't accepting new patients so we see Dr. Choi. You should be able to just switch to a new doctor in the same practice and continue going to the same office. We also saw Dr. Lin and Dr. Young that Kristi mentioned and they were great too. We had to switch to Seaview when our insurance changed. Stephanie Shaw Blohm and Hillary Able!
Local friends...anyone have a great female pediatrician?
Kellie A. replied:
Check Seaview as Monica said 951-5437 - we go to Dr. Shannon but when he's not available we love Dr. Maria Santos! http://www.seaviewpeds.com/
Janine F. replied:
Dr. Abidi across from Mission Hospital parking lot. (949) 364-9222.
Randie G. replied:
Hi Katy: Rachel's pediatrician is Dr. Teschke at Coastal Kids in Ladera Ranch. She has been our pediatrician for about 6 years now and I really like her! The number is 949.347.7200
Monica T. replied:
Yes, Carly Heninger with Seaview Pediatrcis
Katy B. replied:
Thank you Monica! Is that the group with Dr. Shannon as well?
Kathy Y. replied:
Irvine Pediatrics is all female, I believe....
Darcy B. replied:
We always saw Dr Wilkinson from Dr Shannon's office. We liked her if she's still there.
Sandi G. replied:
My girls both go to Dr. Rose Yson-Zaragosa. She's with Southern Orange County Pediatrics. We love her. She is super sweet, and very thorough.
Elaine L. replied:
Shelby saw Barbara Petty until she turned 18. We love her. She is at Seaview Ped. too.
I totally procrastinated and need to get my son his 7th grade shots before school starts. Any pediatrician recommendations? Maybe a smaller practice that won't be...
Terrie A. replied:
My kids went to TLC Pediatrics in SJC. I have no idea how booked they may be.
Rachael K. replied:
We have used CVS Minute Clinic in the past. Just make sure and tell them what the appointment is for so that they have the vaccines on hand.
Chantelle V. replied:
Have you tried Heal App? It's amazing, because they send pediatrician and medical assistant to your house. So you don't have to take your sick kiddo out. http://www.heal.com/
Anyone have a highly recommended pediatrician in Mission Viejo that is not already max out with patients? I am looking for a new one. Thanks!
Caroline F. replied:
We love ours. Dr. Christopher Lin and Juvy Young949-305-8805. In the medical building by Sprouts at Santa Margarita Pkwy and Marguerite. Wonderful Care.
Rebecca M. replied:
