Hi M.,
I love my pediatrician, Dr. Misra. She is in one of the Avocado buildings. She is a private practice and is super responsive and will get you in on a moments notice. Her number is ###-###-####.

My OB is Dr. Karamardian. She is in a wonderful all woman's medical group. All of the doctors in that group are the best. You can call their office at ###-###-####. They are also in an Avocado building.

We go to Newport Pediatric Dentistry on Westcliff. They are really great with kids. The number is ###-###-####.

I don't have a good Opthamologist so if you find one, let me know.

Good luck.
By the way, I am a mom of a 4 year old and a 1 year old.

Hi M.,
I like Dr. William Sears and Sons, for Medical care. They are located in San Clamente, about 15 minutes on toll road.
I have used Dr. Thomas Baba in laguna Beach, for family dentistry, he is unusual in that he specializes in non drug dentistry, no shots. (ps I had a root canal with this guy with no anesthesia, really minimal pain, and I am a baby when it comes to dentistry) He doensn't x-ray kids mouths for exams,he feels radiation is damaging to the adult teeth coming in.
It is hard to get in initially but once you get in and become a patient then you will get a direct number to him.
Good Luck
S.
ps. You didn't ask for an alternative doctors in the area, there are some really good ones in Orange County,

I love my obgyn...her name is Lisa Marie Diaz and she's with Hoag Hospital.

We have a family Dr in HB off of PCH and Beach - she see all of us but an INCREDIBLE Dr for kids! She went to pharmacy school and med school so she truly is a wealth of knowledge...we love her to pieces. Her name is Dr. Brenda Mah-McCaa (pronounced MA-MCKAY) There is typically a wait for your appt, which is undeniably frustrating with a toddler, but I swear to you she is worth it.

Our ped. dentist is off of PCH and Brookhurst in HB - Dr. Beanca Chu. We adore her too! Our kids are 2 and 3 - so we're where you were a year ago.

Also, when you get here, check out Stroller Strides. It's a great workout for Moms at neighborhood parks. I go to the NB one at Bob Henry Park and there's 3 other locations. www.strollerstrides.com.

Good luck!

I have an excellent Pediatrician in Irvine, very close to Newport Beach and his name is Dr. Bradford Curtis at Bristol Park Medical Group ###-###-####. I have been with him for almost 10 years now!

My Gynecologist is also in Irvine at Irvine Medical Center, still very close to NB and he is the BEST, I have been with him pre-marriage and through four children (15 yeras now). Dr. Bruce Hagadorn ###-###-####

Pediatric Dentist... I can't find the number, but it is called "Childrens Dentistry" in Santa Ana, it is across the street from South Coast Plaza. The staff and dentist are wonderful with kids!

Custom Eyes Optometry in Costa Mesa ###-###-#### My kids and I see the Dr. and he is very nice, we have only been once though!

My dentist just retired, so I am not any good there!!

You did not mention a Vet. but if you have animals, the best one around and he is the BEST is Dr. Fanous at Back Bay Vet Hospital in Newport Beach, there number is ###-###-####.

GREAT preschool in Costa Mesa, right next door to NB is Lil'
Lighthouse at ###-###-####, they start taking them at 3 years old and potty trained and have a two day a week/ three day a week and a five day a week Jr. K, it is not a daycare though, just a school. Talk to Marge! All three of my daughters have gone through the program they use and they are at the top of their classes, as soon as my son is old enough, I will put him through it as well.

AND...If you are looking for a FANTASTIC Chiropractor, Dr. Rich Schones at Broadway Chiropractic is AMAZING!!! (he is my husband ;)) ###-###-####.

Good luck to you on your move!! I know they are not NB referrals, but trust me everything is located very close by here. I don't where you are moving from or if you have ever lived here, but it is all very convenient. My husband and I both were born and raised locally and you will love it here!!

Take care, if you need anything, just write!!
W. :)

Hi M.! I can give you a great recommendation for a Pediatrician in the Newport Beach area. Dr. Iman Bar. I refer all my patients to her that have children and I get nothing but rave reviews about her from them. She also does house calls for sick babies and has privleges at Hoag Hospital.
Her office address in newport is 400 Newport center Dr. Suite 409, newport beach. Phone number is ###-###-####. She has an office in Costa Mesa also. Her newport office is shared with an OB/GYN. she could tell you more about him and his office staff if you need info for that.
I am a clinical nutritionist and homeopath so Dr. Bar and I work with families that want to use natural and allopathic medicine.
Good luck

I live in Rancho and go to a pediatrician office in Newport Beach...Harbor Pediatrics ###-###-####. I would recommend either Dr. Todd or Dr. Openshaw, both are excellenct and are wonderful with children. Their days are limited because both are moms and work part time. However, I think they are great. I have been going there for 11 years. Good Luck!
