We are just moving to Ojai and I could use a recommendation for a good doctor for adults and a good pediatrician for my 9 and 4 year olds. Thanks.

We love Margaret Peterson FP but she's in Ventura.
Sally M. replied:
Dr. Maria Halverson for adults. 805-640-0068. My husband sees dr. Nelson in the same office. Also wonderful. I really love dr. Halverson. And I've been to quite a few through the years. I'll let the young mamas recommend a doctor for children.

Halverson is not am pediatrist. Their is only a guy in Ojai and its 50 cash to meet him and expect to be on hold for at least 10-15 min when you call. I ended up going with Dr Chronis in Ventura. Drive sucks but is is the best pediatric Dr I could ask for. I really recommend him.
Ali M. replied:
I go to coastal pediatrics in Ventura. We see Dr. Blank or Dr. Pecht. Both are very nice and helpful

Does anyone have a pediatrician they love and why? Anyone up here in ojai? Thanks!

I take all my kids from the time they are newborns to Mary Evans she's a nurse practitioner and is amazing. My kids love her and her nurse. Mary has the sweetest bedside manner, takes her time with you and just honestly wholeheartedly cares. Her office number is 805-640-2296
Best pediatricians in Ojai? Would love several opinions. Thanks!
Nicole V. replied:
DO NOT go to Dr Williamson! We paid for a meeting w the dr before I even had my daughter and they said they accept my insurance. After 4 months of visits they realized they don't take my plan and sent us a $2200 bill! We're loving Dr. Halverson and Dial
Shannon P. replied:
Love Maria Halvorson. My girls have gone to her since 6 th and 7 th grade. Not sure how young she goes, or how old your kids are, but if you are in that ballpark you should consider her.
Susan K. replied:
Dr Williamson was my kids' pediatrician 30-odd years ago and we loved him. Now if I had a kid, I think I'd go with Dr. Horn or Dr. Petroff at Valley Oak Family Medical.
Chris B. replied:
Dr. Halverson
Kelli B. replied:
Dr Robert Fostakowsky in Ventura is awesome
Alex M. replied:
Dr. Williamson is good for older patients. Anyone in teens or older. Younger, find someone else !

We love Dr Williamson. He has taken exceptional care of our kids
Hi Ojai moms.. I'm looking for a pediatrician in Ojai. Any recommendations? Or "caution/ stay away from" pediatricians?

Lis W. replied:
Mary Evans violated my 8 yo daughter's (& mine!) trust. She looked down her pants without asking. It was beyond upsetting. So odd. She wasn't that knowledgeable either. No on her.
Christina M. replied:
Surfside Pediatrics in Ventura
Jen M. replied:
Dr. Gross, Dial and Halverson are fantastic with our son (and the rest of us!) Horrible experiences with Williamson-- their billing is an absolute nightmare, was overcharged repeatedly and the care we found severely lacking.
Julie F. replied:
Love surfside peds...great network of specialists just Incase...Dr. White and Julie Schriener are my daughters favorite.
Rozalynn D. replied:
Tim Williamson is an amazing pediatrician!
Betty H. replied:
I would never go to Dr. Williamson. He works in the Ojai ER & has made several serious mistakes on me & my husband. Sooo bad.
anybody know a good autistic pediatrician in the area???
Rebecca W. replied:
I recommend the books of Barry Neil Kaufmann, particularly "Son-Rise" (about his work with his own autistic son, who is now a college graduate), to people who have autistic children. I have trained with him and his wife, and they do amazing work. They are located in Massachusetts, but it would be worth a call or email to The Option Institute for more information about outreach to distant families. <3

Last time I checked Kawasaki wasn't taking new patients, but that was about a year ago so that may have changed! But I have heard great things... and I wasn't a fan of Surfside to be honest. We currently see Dr. Margaret Peterson in Ventura, she's a GP. I don't have any complaints.
