Seeking Pediatrician in Redondo/SouthBay Area

Hi H.,

I think the most important thing when looking into pediatricians is to find one that has the same parenting/medical phylosophies that you have. For example If you are a non-medicating parent do you want a pediatrician who thinks that pharmeceuticals are the answer to everything. If you have an attachment style of parenting you probably want a pediatrician with the same phylosophies. I recommend interviewing the pedicatricians and finding out what their phylosophies are and see if you have a good chemistry before you commit to using them. Most doctors will give a free get-to-know-you session to help you decide if you are a good fit for each other.

That being said we love our pediatrician. He has been our doctor since my kids were babies and he has teenagers of his own so he knows how to deal with kids of all ages.

He is not an attachment parenting/breastfeeding nazi, but will support you if that is your parenting choice. He is also not big on using medication as a first resort to healing and only gives out an Rx for antibiotics if they are absolutely necessary.

My kids love going to see Dr. Pang.

Hello H., I used to take my son to see Dr. Lauren Nguyen (new born - one year). I was extremely unhappy with the doctor - extremely text-book. Since then, based on recommendations I received from other moms in my area and other online forums I have switched to Dr. Dunja Maglica, and i cannot praise her enough. She has wonderful bedside manners, is so pleasant and loving with the kids and has NEVER made me feel rushed during an appointment. She always has natural, and home remedies to deal with minor illnesses (the cold, cough) and is very directional. In the past with Dr. Lauren i got responses like "you are the parent, it's really upto you if you want to give antibiotics, or an X-ray, or bloodwork" - that response only left me frazzled. Dr. Maglica is more direct and helps make the decision with you.
