Rainbow Children’s Clinic

Dr. Del Mar and his staff are very helpful and friendly. Dr. Del Mar is very compassionate and I love how he explains whatever is going on with my kids. If I need any paperworks signed, the staff is always accomodating!

We have been seeing Dr. Del Mar since early 2011, when our first was 4 months old. She had been sick with what our prior pediatrician claimed was a stomach virus for weeks. We felt dismissed and went to see Dr. Del Mar for a second opinion. He is wonderful. He listens to EVERY concern you have, no matter what. He addresses all of it. He follows up with you as well. He gave us a plan of action and asked us to let him know how she does. He called the next day to check on her and when I said she had not improved, he sent us to the hospital. Through that ordeal, he was on top of it and communicated with us and the hospital staff daily.
There are so many good things I can say about him, but I will try to keep it short.
1) He totally cares, and listens to the parents. He listens to both the symptoms AND the parents’ intuitions. He spends a lot of time with you, you never feel rushed.
2) He is SO knowledgeable. I trust him completely. He has seen it all. And he will explain things to you, and pass on that knowledge, to empower the parents as well.
3) He really is available night and day. I have called him at night or on a weekend, for something urgent, and he has NEVER not called me back — and always within 5 minutes. I have to believe that there was something else going on with these couple of reviews that say he doesn’t return calls. That has never, ever been our experience.
4) You can get an appointment quickly, almost always same-​day. And I have rarely had to wait for more than 5 minutes.
He’s great! And so is his NP.

We love Dr. Del Mar!!! A friend recommended him when our baby was born, and im so glad I went with him. Everyone we have dealt with there have been amazingly friendly.

Don’t bother calling the office. Whoever they have answering the phone is rude.

We love Dr. Del Mar and Rainbow Children’s Clinic!!! The first time we called for an appointment we had just moved here and had a one week old baby that needed to be seen after going home from the hospital. Dr. Del Mar was able to see us the very next day and has been our physician ever since. Dr. Del Mar is very caring and thorough at all appointments. After I had to take my 8 month old in for a sick visit he personally called us several days later to follow up and see if she was doing better! That’s excellent care in our opinion. Additionally, any problems or questions that arise I have always been able to get in touch with his nurse practioner or him by calling the office. We really appreciate the care we recieve from Dr. Del Mar’s office and all the staff at Rainbow Children’s Clinic

First appointment it was a great experience. Second and third, level of service just went down the hill. The front desk lady seems to hate her life. They said I will get a phone call to remind my appointment but they never did. I got a bill for $ 25 for no show which is fair. But if they say you’re going to call then do it. It’s time to look for another doctor.

We are parents of 4 children. We are from the Bay Area and New York and we have received top notch medical treatment for our children. We moved to Rocklin and in searching for a new pediatrician, we interviewed Dr. Delmar. He was nice to talk to you and boasted about how a parent would always have him available — that you could call the after hour hotline and he would personally return every call. Well we were impressed. A month later our son was sick with rotavirus and we called to get advice because we were traveling — we left two messages and never received a call back. That definitely was not the standard that Dr. Delmar claimed for his office. I was disappointed but figured there must have been a reason. Next time another one of my sons was sick I called them at 3:30 as soon as I noticed his pink eye symptoms. I explained how no one had called me back last time. I heard back from the nurse at 4:10 and she advised us that he needed medicine and she was going to call it in. A few minutes later she called me back to say she couldn’t do that because they had never seen my son at the office before. I wasn’t happy but understood and asked if I could drive there — she said no that it was 4:30 now and that ALL the computers were shut down and no one could take my information. It was terrible the way this situation was handled. The nurse practitioner then turned me over to the office manager who then wasted more time explaining to me why they wouldn’t help my child — this office spends more time talking than doing. After all that, i asked to speak with Dr. Delmar so that I could explain the situation in detail so he could understand where our trust was lost — I left three messages and was told by his staff that the doctor was ignoring my calls. I was astounded that a professional would behave this way. The more moms I have spoken to, the more they have confirmed his very arrogant nature and his immaturity with being wrong. I would never trust anyone who could not be open to listening to their mistakes and want to learn from them especially for the money they collect. The waiting area was old. His staff was more concerned with her fixing her eyelashes. I was looking for a good practitioner but what I found was a small town narrow minded man and his office who don’t realize that people who know what medicine should be are not going to put up with this. Terrible practice.

Dr. Del Mar is great! Very caring, smart and gentle with out 2 year old. We drive 45 minutes from where we live just to see him! The office is friendly and staff is prompt and accurate.

Dr. Del Mar is a very good pediatrician. We take both of our kids to his practice. The kids are 6 years old and 18 months with on more on the way. We switched from only one visit from a pediatrician before they were horrible. We were a little nervous but ended up staying with him. We come all the way from Marysville about a 40 minute drive and worth it it in every way. He is not pushy with medications or extra services that aren’t necessary. We can usually get in on short notice sometimes the same day but at least the next day. Well worth the time.

Dr. Del Mar is wonderful! There is never a wait when i get there and he is always willing to spend extra time for any questions. He is genuinly concerned about all of his patients.

My child was misdiagnosed with strep and given medication then assumed my other child who is baby had the same diagnoses, both were given antibiotics. More then a few days later the Dr. Calls and says my oldest is negative so they don’t need to take anabiotic’s anymore… ?? Ok Not only that but I tell the doctor that she has not improved totally lethargic doesn’t want to get out of bed or eat for 6 days and has a steady temperature.
Dr Del Mar’s response was well she sick… He Kept saying follow your instinct if you’re questioning it, well that’s why I was asking him he’s the dr right!
Then say for me to seek a second opinion or take her to the hospital, instead of being a good doctor he should of had me bring her in and do a recheck up but instead he dismissed it. We all make mistakes I get that were human but at least bring back the patient in and do a recheck up especially a child that I’m putting their life into his hands for care.
I had to go to the emergency and wait for hours only to find out that my daughter had nothing close to strep and both my babies had pneumonia… My daughter had lost weight and had more of a serious problem and yet the follow up took 5 days later to let me know?
Disappointment is a understatement I really like this doctors office to because of the prompt appointments and I’ve never had a problem with him I’m just very upset that this is the way he handles his mistakes instead of handling it correctly he takes it out on his patients. If you’re putting your care into this office good luck I’ve been with them for more than two years and this is what I got in the end.

Dr. Del Mar and his staff are thorough and friendly. He makes sure he has answered all of your questions before he leaves, and takes his time with a thorough exam and the children like him. He touches on all aspects of child development during the visit– even discussed peer pressure with my teen. Thorough Dr, great office.

Dr. Del Mar is wonderful. We came to him when our infant twins were sick and their pediatrician at Sutter Roseville couldn’t fit them in. Dr Del Mar saw us the same day and was amazing with our little ones. He called to check on them a few days later and we were hooked. I wouldn’t have anyone else look after our babies. You feel like a priority when you come here and all the staff does their best to make your kids comfortable. This place is great!!!

I was terrified when I learned we had to switch pediatricians because of a change of insurance. I absolutely loved our last Doc and could have sworn that whoever we found to replace him would pale in comparison. Yes, this is the part where I get into the fact that I was completely WRONG and every appointment with Dr Del Mar reminds me of just HOW WRONG I was… and of how incredibly grateful I am to have hooked up with his practice.
Dr Del Mar doesn’t just listen but truly soaks in and addresses concerns. I have encountered pediatricians and doctors who are adamant about talking «to» or «at» you and not speaking «with» you. Don’t get me wrong, pediatricians are in a class of their own, from the many I have encountered over the last three years, the majority seem to be very warm, loving and kind. My sister is one in Southern California and she is phenomenal at what she does. I am going off on a tangent, where was I?
Dr Del Mar is at the top of this class, truly cream of the crop, as good as it gets, gem mint 10.
Would I recommend him? How about … YES.

My 3 children have been coming here for 4 years now. I have to say, i am very pleased with Dr. del Mar. The amount of time and concern he puts in is amazing. He has saved me trips to see him or going to urgent care by simply discussing my child’s ailment over the phone.

Always very patient with us. Truly makes you feel good and gives 100% of his attention. So so happy he is ours!!!

Dr. Del Mar is wonderful!!! My son has been seeing him since he was born. Anytime I have a question or concern about my son’s health, Dr. Del Mar is always willing to help! I had to call him once really late at night… I left a message and he called me right back. He answers every question I ask him thoroughly and makes my son and I feel comfortable and welcome. I never feel like he is rushing through the appointment. This place is great!

My son has been a patient of Dr. Del Mar’s since he was born in September of 2010. Dr. Del Mar and his staff are amazing. I am SO grateful that we found them. Dr. Del Mar is very caring and always available. We have called in the middle of the night and had Dr. Del Mar return our calls within minutes. Our appointments are always productive and quick. Dr. Del Mar takes the time to answer any and all questions or concerns that we may have (new parents always have tons of questions). Dr. Del Mar has a wonderful personality and so does his staff. I have NEVER had such consistent high quality care from a doctor and but thankful my son does.
