Steven Abelowitz's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Steven Abelowitz is one of the nicest men I’ve ever met in my life. If the 5 star reviews didn’t tell you about how great a pediatrician he is let this be a review that speaks to his character. He’s a complete gentleman and as kind as they get. This is the type of man I’d trust with my kids. If there was a 10 star rating he’d get it

We have been going to Dr. Abelowitz for about 10 years. He and his staff are truly amazing. They really know you as a patient and make every accommodation to care for your family when you need them most. Their office team is organized and the so sweet to all our kiddos. Id give them 10 Stars if I could

Awesome doctor Very thorough excellent bedside manners Never wait longer than 10 minutes at his office. They are open during the weekends the office staff has always been very polite

My kids have been seeing Dr. Abelowitz since the beginning of his practice 18 years ago. My oldest son who is now 19 had serious ear infections and after a year of a couple of different pediatricians I found Dr. Abelowitz and I feel so lucky that I did. He has a GREAT bedside manner he is respectful patient with kids knowledgeable and really cares about the well being of my kids.

Quality of service has gone down. We called to verify appointment location prior to checkup only to find out that they gave us a wrong location. Too many locations too many patients and poor communication.

Doctors belittled and bullied me as a new mom.

Terrible Office Billing PolicyWe have been with Coastal Kids for over 7 years now. Our personal Dr has been exceptionally wonderful But beware of unsavory billing practices.We recently took my children in for their well checks. As a routine the Dr. asked if there were any concerns we had. We mentioned that our 7 year old daughter seems to have eczema on her arms. Consequently Dr. prescribed her a Rx for her eczema during the well check.Surprisingly though I was being billed for both a well check visit and a sick visit due to the fact that when asked by the Dr we spoke about our concern andor Rx was prescribed. The practice owner and I both live in Newport Coast so it was understood that paying for a sick visit is not a big deal monetarily but I do feel rather irritated based on the principle of how their policy nickle and dimes by trying to get double charges for the same visit I spoke to Luz in the billing department to have this reassessed. She later notified me that the billing committee decided not to wave the sick visit copay $40 and ruled to make me responsible for both a sick visit and well check. After I explained to her how wrong it was to doubledip on a single office visit she blamed the incident on their thirdparty billing company even though she acknowledged that the billing company is just executing what Coastal Kids has requestedThis type of doubletalk on doubledipping policies further frustrates the situation.In summary good Drs with bad policies.

Best pediatrician ever We started out with a different doctor at another practice  and it was the worst experience Ive ever had with my daughter but Im so glad that we found Dr. Abelowitz after He was kind and caring obviously loves kids and put my daughter at ease instantly. He seems very knowledgeable and helps calm your nerves  or at least he did for me because Im a firsttime parent And he has national awards and all that too. I wish the solid foods feeding instructions he gives out would have been better more instructive and liik nicer but thats really the only complaint I could think of haha. Beautiful office and friendly nurses and we never had to wait too long.

I could not be happier with the attention and treatment all four of my children get from this excellent group. We have been patients since the group began almost 18 years ago and it continues to impress us and just get better. The office still feels like my neighborhood pediatrician. The staff is friendly welcoming and accommodating. And the doctors know their stuff. The technology is current and the doctors have also sent us to excellent referrals for specialized needs. Overall each of m

I first met Dr. Abelowitz at Hoag Hospital when he was the first pediatrician to examine my daughter after she was born.  I recognized him immediately from the research I had done while looking for a pediatrician he had an impressive resume.  During our initial visit his sincerity and thoroughness put me at ease but we had lived too far from Newport Beach to choose him as our permanent pediatrician.  A year later I was glad to see him again when Coastal Kids partnered with our pediatrician in Laguna Hills.  I have taken my daughter to Dr Abelowitz twice for her wellness visits and I am grateful for the way he listens and responds without making me feel like I am fretful I am.  He is also very patient and kind to my daughter.  The operational improvements in the office have made my experience 5Star and I would recommend Dr Abelowitz to anyone who asks.
