Seeking New Pediatrician in North Orange County

We go to Dr. Dawn Bruner in Tustin. The doctors and staff have been great. My son needed 3 surgeries in his first 8 months. They were great with helping us get to an out-of-network surgeon and getting all the tests approved. Dr. Bruner has also gone above & beyond to help us gain info on vaccines for int'l travel. Here's the website to learn more: www.pam4kids.com. We've always been able to get in quickly and have never had to wait very long.

Good luck!

You know when we had our baby we were so particular about the doctor that we had friends in the police department do background checks on the two doctors we picked. I suggest Dr. Bartlett and Dr. Osborne. They are at St. Joseph's in Santa Ana on the border of Tustin. I think its the St. Joseph's group for insurance purposes. They love the kids an Dr. Bartlett actually takes her kids to Dr. Osborne. They don't generally make you wait and the nurses and doctors are so friendly. We actually interviewed Dr. Bartlette before our daughter was born and she encourages the parents to do that. I know it sounds like we were a bit obsessive, but our daughter is worth more than anything and we had to be sure she was going to be safe. The number for the medical group is ###-###-####. Good Luck

We have 3 children and love our pediatricians. They are located in Anaheim Hills and are open every day of the year.

Congratulations on your new baby. Like you I do not understand why doctors/or doctors' offices make us wait for long periods of time.
I am however happy about the care my children get from the pediatricians at http://www.edingermedicalgroup.com in Huntington Beach. Sometimes we wait but that's more the exception than the rule. The pediatricians are very professional and caring. We see Dr. Tran and Dr. Willis.
Good luck!

Our ped is great. He is in brea. He does not book appointments more than a few days out so that you can always get in. If I have something urgent he has waited to goto lunch until I can get there. He always checks to make sure that we are set before we leave. We ask hime q's for a doc and q's as a parent (like when we were flying to FL when our oldest was 18 months!) On weekends he has called to check on our girls if they had been seen that week and were sick. We have been out of town and he has called in prescriptions for us. He is wonderful. HIs name is Dr. Huang and he has his own practice with his dad (who just returned from a medical mission). Let me know if you want his contact info.

I have several pediatricians listed on my website, CityMommy OC (http://oc.citymommy.com). I am also actively researching and talking to other moms so that I can add even more to the site. Check out the site, then click on "directory" and "pediatricians" to look for doctors in your area. You can also click on "neighborhoods" and then select cities near you to find doctors in the area.

I hope you find someone you love!
