Welcome to Irvine and to TI!
We use Irvine Pediatrics (
http://www.irvinepediatrics.com/). They have several doctors to choose from--but we see Dr Galang-Lomboy, very competent and friendly. They have walk in hours in the AM Monday through Saturday. They provide separate entrance/waiting areas for sick children and well children. We have been very happy with the care they provide.
I 2nd them
We have been using them for 13 years and are generally happy. However, their outsourced billing department is so horrible that we thought about switching just because of that.
Our 1 year old has been under the care of Dr. Gan-Yong and so far so good. Slight billing issue in the hospital (they billed for a visit even though we were in delivery). Most nurses are good with shots, ask for formula samples if you need it. Morning walk-ins are 8-9am? Be prepared for the clueless dad taking their sick kids into the "well" entrance.
Overheard conversation:
Receptionist: What brings you in?
Dad: Kid sick
R: Fever?
D: No, I think it's H1N1.
R: You're copay is $20
D: $20? Do YOU think she's sick?
R: That's up to the doctor
D: Long pause while he deliberates spending $20 on own child or not....Do YOU (receptionist) think she's ok? (kid has facemask on)
R: Sir, I can't make that diagnosis, it will be up to the doctor.
D: Let me call her mom, we'll be back..(leaves office, with masked kid in tow)
