Truly the best pediatric experience ever. We have Dr.Kim and since day one she has been the best doctor to our twins and six year old. She always seems so attentive and passionate. She not only cares about my kids but she always asks how I’m doing. She always returns my calls in a very timely manner and the staff there are also the best, always willing to answer any questions and help any way they can. I can’t recommend this practice enough. We also saw Dr. Bui one time when we couldn’t get our schedule to match Dr. Kim and she was sweet and knowledgeable too! One time we had an emergency and needed to see a doctor right away on a Saturday so we went to the Newport Beach location and their staff and the doctor we saw there were equally as awesome! Clearly, they hire doctors that really all mesh together because we haven’t had one bad experience. So if you’re looking for a new pediatrician or looking to switch I highly recommend this location and practice!!!
I absolutely love this place. We had our first child a few months ago and they’ve been nothing less than wonderful with her and us. I especially appreciate that they allow me to take her vaccinations slowly – as per my request. Dr. Kim is very professional, yet personable as well. She’s taken extra time with us to sit and answer questions. At no time have I ever felt that we were just a number. She makes us feel important and cared for each time we come in. I also like that they have offices and doctors all over in case you need to come in quickly and she’s not available. Great job Coastal Kids!
