Irvine Doctors of Kids & Teens

Dr. Huckaby is a wonderful, outstanding, excellent doctor! He’s really great with children and really listens to all of our concerns then gives good advice. We’ve been going to this office for over 7 years now for both kids and have seen all the doctors there. They’re all pretty good but Dr Huckaby really surpassed all my expectations. He seems to be the most popular because it’s always harder to get an appointment with him but I usually wait because he’s well worth it. I give him max number of stars and more but the front office staff are mediocre at best, hence the 4 star rating. The nurses are all really great.

Dr Huckaby is an outstanding pediatrician. He has taken care of our children since birth; now they are 17 and 14. His diagnoses have always been right on the mark, his patient care outstanding and he has built a strong trusting relationship with our kids and us. The nursing staff are kind and helpful also.
However, office staff are disorganized, inefficient, not always helpful, sometimes downright rude, and wait times can be an hour or more. These fabulous clinicians deserve much better office staff and admin support.

I think that that the providers knowledge is average. I would consider going to some place that has electronic health records so that when you call after hours and get a PA or nurse they know the kids medical history.

Dr. Huckaby is the best and Dr. Chavez is good. Lourdes Brown is a PA (I think), so we see her only if the other two aren’t available. We’ve been seeing them for 15+ years. Dr. Huckaby has been right on every single diagnosis of my child’s illnesses and injuries over the years. He’s seen it all and has very good instincts. Lately, the nurses have been outstandingly wonderful when administering shots. Their front office staff has improved (they used to be kind of rude) and their billing person, Stephanie, qualifies for a «really great!» rating. The thing about Doctors these days is, you MUST be on top of things for your kid. And they don’t do anything for free, so if you want a consultation or something like that, you’d better establish the cost ahead of time. When somebody finds a perfect doctor’s office, please let me know. Fifteen years and haven’t found one yet.

I found the Doctors here to be good but the office staff was horrible. They often made me feel like they were going out of their way to schedule appointments or to answer basic billing and insurance questions. When we finally left they tool nearly a month to process my request for records and I had to pay $ 35.

We haven’t had any issues here unlike the previous person who gave it low stars. My wife and I take our kids here to see Dr. Brown. She’s phenomenal and very approachable.

Please take your child elsewhere. My son ended up hospitalized with pneumonia and undiagnosed asthma after 3 trips to this place in the course of 3 weeks because he was not getting any better. not one prescription was given from this place to help him. all i got was «it will run its course.» their inaction is astounding and could have cost him his life if it werent for the helpful nurses at his school. We went immediately to the ER where he was so bad off we did not even wait to see a doc. he was transferred to hospital and given antibiotics and asthma medicine. he could barely breathe, and oxygen saturation was low. i told the doctor at this place his cough was getting worse. his symptoms were the same for almost a month but they did nothing. I take him to UCI now, where they actually take my concerns seriously.
