Need pediatrician recommendation in San Clemente please! Particularly a doctor that might be able to help with possible speech delays. Thanks!
Trisha C. replied:
Dr. Dwinell...Southern Orange County Pediatric Associates...love her
Whitney G. replied:
I also love Dr. Dwinell. I was concerned about speech issues with my son and she suggested a couple speech therapy places in the area. Depending on your insurance you could also self-refer to speech therapy for an assessment, or request one for free from the school system. Please feel free to PM me if you have questions.

Paulina Avendano
Shari G. replied:
Dr. Dwinell seems good, but was not very receptive or open to my point of view on important issues with my son. While she came highly recommended by my obgyn, I had to move on. We see Dr. Katz in San Clemente.

If your child is preschool aged (over 2 years 10 months) you can get a free speech assessment and therapy (if needed) through the school district. Dr Rana Shah(949) 234-9293. If your child is Kindergarten aged or older contact your local school.
Stephanie H. replied:
Another vote here for Dr. Dwinell. Can't say enough good things about here. By far one of the best docs I've ever been to. All SOCPA docs are great. Dr. VanBlerk is also wonderful.

Emily B. replied:
All the doctors at SOCPA are great. Dr. Van Blerk, Dr. Avendano, and today we saw Dr. Timboe for the first time. My daughter (8) and I really liked her. We've been with SOCPA since my daughter was born and my kids have never been seen by a doctor there that I didn't really like. Dr. Dwinell is our doctor too and while it is sad it's hard to see her because of her new schedule, the alternatives in the office are all great.
Looking for a good children's doctor and dentist please thank you
Amy K. replied:
Dr. Dwinell at South Orange County pediatrics is amazing. My kids have been seeing her since they were itty-bitty. My son had a life-threatening infection and she literally saved his life. Dr Eckl is the best dentist in town imo. I see him and so do both of my kids who are 10 and 11. He is so gentle and incredibly honest.
