Try Pediatric Medical Center on Redondo Avenue, near the 405 Fwy. Both my kids see Dr. Welty and really like him. Sometime a bit of a wait, but worth it. This place is where doctors take their own kids. My husband and I have meet each of the physicians and have enjoyed each one. Phone number ###-###-#### plus view their website for background. The doctors do 30 min consultations for a reasonable fee.

A. - be sure the new pediatrician you choose is contracted with your health insurance plan. Also, there are some websites with doc reviews on them you can try. One of the popular ones is www.ratemd.com.

You have to check out Pediatric Medical Center. They are a group of Doctors on Redondo.
I have four boys and they all go there. My children have seen Dr. Theriot (we call him Dr. Thorough because he takes time with you to explain what is going on) Dr. Samson is great as well because he is very caring and thorough and he has 13 children of his own.
Their phone number is ###-###-#### better yet go to their web site. http://www.informedparent.com
I will send you my phone number privately and you can call me for more info about them if you want.
Have a blessed day!!

Hi A.,
I really like my son's pediatrician. His name is Dr. Alexander Maneffa. He appears young to me but he's actually been practicing over 20 years. My OB/GYN recommended him and uses him for his baby son as well. In my experience, he has a gentle, caring manner, is low key and willing to entertain all nervous new mom questions without making you feel dumb! My OB/GYN also recommended another doctor (based on what his patients have told him) in the same practice, Dr. Angela Rosetti. The practice is at Harriman Jones on Redondo and Willow. They have a lab, pharmacy and urgent care in the same building which has also been a plus for convenience sake. Feel free to send me a message if you want more info.

Sawsan Selem. 2700 Bellflower Blvd. Totally trustworthy, listens intently, always calls my baby sweet things, never rushed. You may have to wait a little longer than is desireable (30 mins?) but Im telling you SHE IS WORTH IT!!!

Our pediatrician is in Los Alamitos, which is very close to Long Beach, and they are amazing and very experienced. All the doctors in the practice are wonderful, but my two favorite are Dr. Widelitz (male) & Dr. Tosu (female. Good luck no matter who you choose. It is important to feel comfortable.

yes, pediatric medical center ###-###-####
they have 6 drs. in the office, they are all good from what I have heard, we see dr. welty and we like him, if your child is sick often he may see any of the drs. but we just go in for our checkups and see our dr., the office is clean and there are 2 diff. rooms for the sick and the well kids,the longest I have waited is 10 min. and the nurses are nice and very knowlegable(sp?) I interviewed 1 other office, but I liked this office best and I was referred to them from a referral upon referral, hope you check them out
