If through your insurance you can go to Beaver they have great peds. I take my kids to see dr. Goyne. My twin girls were premies and are still under weight and he is great about it. I am a high strung first time mom, an dI always feel better when I leave. He is in Highland, on Boulder. If Redlands is close Dr Anderson, also with Beaver, is young, and really good with kids. We saw her a few times for sick appts. Also with dr. anderson, your husband will willing help you go to the doc b/c she is very attractive :). Hope this helps.

We see Dr Nguyen at Kaiser Fontana. She is fantastic. My kids like her and she is great with them. We tried several before her but found that we really like her and her style of practice. Good luck and I hope that helps.

Hi B.! I had a horrible experience with a Pediatrician when my 1st daughter was born and I suffered through it for a few months until I just couldn't take it any longer. So, I overheard a women talking about 2 Doctors over at Beaver Medical Group in Redlands, Dr. Shaw & Dr. Mailander. I originally wanted to go to Dr. Mailander, but she was very busy and hard to get in to see.I was always seeing Dr. Shaw anyways, so I switched to him. I have not regreted it 9 years and 4 children later! My daughters ask to go see him because they just love him. Honestly, he's better with kids than with the adults. :0) He takes his time and is so gentle and caring. My son, who just turned 3 really hates going to the Doctors...from the time he was born would just cry when he would see a nurse, etc. But, Doctor Shaw would just work with him until he was comfortable and now...DJ completely trusts him. I have heard nothing but good things about Doctor Mailander also. Again, she is just harder to get into see. Redlands is not far from San Bernardino and personally, for me...is worth the drive! :0) Good Luck! I hope this helps!

Hi B.. We go to Beaver Medical Clinic in Redlands. My daughter has seen both pediatricians there and they are both great. Dr Anderson and Dr Smith are their names.

Depending on what insurance you have, my kids see the best peditrician in Redlands, across the street from Redlands Community Hospital. Her name is Dr. Mailander and she knows her stuff but is also very down to earth and extremely compassionate towards the kids. She is affiliated with Beaver Medical, at their Terracina offices. I struggled for almost 3 yrs with my oldest one getting no treatment at all for breathing problems and being told he was fine, until I made the switch. She saw at the first evaluation that there was a problem and got him referred to the appropriate specialist, only to find out that he had numerous food and environmental allergies and needed to be taking daily mediations and weekly shots. What a relief it was to finally figure it out and get on the right course of action to help him feel better. I have nothing but great things to say about her. Hope you find someone soon, i think it is very important to trust and like the person who makes medical decisions for our precious children.

We are also with Kaiser and we are seen at the San Bernardino Center. We have also decided to go with a GP. Dr. Bautista. He's pretty good, and besides being a bit to busy sometimes, he does care and he does take the time out when I ask him questions. In my family there is myself, my husband, my 13 year old son, an dmy 3 month old infant daughter.
