My sister is looking for a pediatrician ... she's delivering at St. Joe's so she will probably just have her doctor refer her to a pedi for after delivery. However, we live in South County (we live in the same housing development) ... we're in Mission Viejo on the Foothill Ranch/Lake Forest border. She'd like a pedi in our area so she's not trekking it to Orange every time the baby is sick, etc.
Any suggestions???
Thanks!

Re: South County Pediatricans?
I go to Coastal Kids in Laguna Niguel. They also have a Ladera office. I REALLY like all the doctors there, but the office staff can be interesting until they get to know you.
My sister goes to Christopher Lin in RSM. She really likes him, too.
I guess neither of those is super close to you, though.

I delivered my daughter at st. josephs and i lived in foothill at the time so i was really wanting a pedi close to home, but a family friend recommended Dr. Winkleman (just moved offices to santa ana) and his office staff is amazing! to top it off the doctor is a really nice guy has 4 kids of his own and my daughter actually goes to him and won't come back to me after her check ups...needless to say my next baby(due Nov22) already has his/her Dr.
He's within the St. Joseph affiliates group
Hi Kim~
We see Dr. Wilkinson with Seaview Peds. We go to their Laguna Hills office (next to Saddleback Hosp.) The Saddleback NICU drs. & nurses highly recommended Dr. W. If you have any questions, drop me an email.
Sea View Pediatrics... they have offices in Aliso Viejo and San Clemente...
I love all the doctors there but DS see's Dr. K (Kawabanpat) he is so sweet and always answers all your questions
You can goggle them and it should show you their website
