Hi All! Do any of you have a recommendation for a great pediatrician in the area? We're not thrilled with the one we have now. We have a Blue Cross HMO plan and would love to hear if any of you have a great doctor. Thanks! :)

What can I do next?

Hello,
Dr. Sears in Capo Beach. Best in the country.

My son had Dr. Jim Sears for years. He's 18 and in college now. Wish Dr Jim could be his doctor for ever.

I have a newborn baby boy that was born July 2007. Our Pediatrician is Dr. Brandon at Kaiser Permanente in San Juan. Since my baby is a newborn, we've only been to him a few times but he seems real genuine, very easy to talk to and is very good at handling my son. Not sure though if you can use Blue Cross there.

Good luck!

Hi M.,

This questions has been asked a few times, so I am just copy pasting what I wrote to Susana L before. I am not sure what insurcances they take, but you can call and ask for her tax id number and then call your provider and they'll tell you right awawy...

Here's the info-
I live in Laguna Niguel, and my referral is not in Dana Point, but it's worth the trip to have a really qualified incredibly professional institution to care for your little one. I take my daughter to the Newport Children's Medical Group
1401 Avocado Street Suite 802 Newport Beach, CA 92660. Their phone number is ###-###-#### and my daughters doctors name is Dr. Kristine Brown. She's phenomenal. My father in law is a heart surgeon and we have very high standards for medical care...:) If you are willing to drive, it's really worth it. They actaully have two waiting rooms, one for sick kids and one for not-sick kids. I thought that was fantastic when I brought my daughter in for her shots, I thought, gee I hope she doesn't get sick from coming to the doctor!

Anyway, hope you find someone good!

Take care,

S.

Hi,
I highly recommend Dr Carruth ###-###-#### or TLC Pediatrics. They have a wonderful office staff and are very helpful in San Juan Cap. It's easy to make appts the same day for sick visits, well checks are also easy to get, and referrals if you have an HMO policy. They work well with referrals, other doctors, and patients. We've had Dr Carruth as our doctor since my older daughter was 4mos old she now almost 10. He has been through many medical issues with my older daughter. She had some very serious issues when she was young and I thought I couldn't get through it. But he was right there with comfort, support, referrals and whatever else we needed. He always calls back even it it's later in the evening. I love that about him, he's very reliable. My children love him as well. Good luck in your search for a doctor it is such a hard decision.
