Hi there,
We just moved to the Oceanside area and need to find a pediatrician for my children. We are on an HMO, so I am limited to who I can choose. However in the fall, we will be changing over to a PPO, so I will have more flexibility. Any suggestions...

What can I do next?

Our pediatrician is Doug Stein. We LOVE him!! He is wonderful with the kids and totally down to earth. He has 4 kids of his own, so he has practical applicable advice to dispense along with the medical. I love that the "sick" and "well" areas have separate entrances and are in different rooms - something very important to me as I have a 6 yr. old and a baby due in August/Sept that will be going for alot of well baby checks. I'd hate to bring a healthy baby in for a check up only to bring home a sick one.

I can't say enough great things about Doc Doug. All my girlfriends bring their kids to him as well. His daughters have even babysat for us over the years. Wonderful doctor!!

Stein, Doug

My kids are seen by Dr Michael Krak who is part of Cassidy Pediatrics. They are located a block away from Tri City Hospital in Oceanside (off of the 78 Fwy between College and Emerald). My kids are 7 and 3 1/2 and we have had no problems being seen same day if necessary (usually by our own physician but have been seen other physicians in the practice in a pinch). Their office hours cant be beat and the office staff is effecient. They are open M-F until 8PM and on Sat and Sundays from 10-1 by appointment (call that morning for an appointment to be seen).

There is a physician there named Dr Michael Karp (not to be mistaken for my kid's primary physician Dr Michael KRAK) who is pretty "straight to the point" and some people have commented that he is a little abrupt and abrasive. My kids have been see by Dr Karp a few times and I have nothing bad to say about him. The other 2 physicians are female and are great.

Cassidy Pediatrics' phone number is ###-###-####.

Good luck!

Good luck with your search!

Hey there,
We go to Dr. Naudin in Oceanside. It's a brick building just east of the hospital. I can't remember the name of the group, but they are all nice.

Hi J. -
North County Health Services has two locations in Oceanside. One in south OS on Cassidy just off Coast Highway and another on Mesa Drive just off Mission. All of the pediatricians are board certified in Peds. Dr.Donald Miller is at the Cassidy site and Dr. Chanelee Calhoun, Dr. Edward Curley, and Dr. Tanya (can't remember her last name) are at the Mesa site. You can go online under North County Health Services to learn more about them. They admit to Tri City hospital when necessary and utilize the specialists at Children's for referrals. The clinics are open 6 days a week and there is coverage at night with one pediatrician always on call. I am a pediatric nurse practitioner who works at the headquarter clinic in San Marcos. Good luck. B.
