Nishibayashi Steven, MD

I read the good reviews here in Unilocal,and decided to visit this clinic with my ill child which was a big mistake and disappointment.
I entered the clinic at 8:30 a.m. and i was the first one there, after checking on Unilocal that no need for an appointment. The old lady at the reception told me that we can not have you here and the Dr. can not see your kids, we need your medical record transfered here first and you have to fill PAPERS before you can see him and regardless of all that we cannot do that today, and you can not just show up and expect us to have you, this is not how we do business here !!!
That was Rude, unrespectful, most ignorance act I’ve ever seen in any medical facility all over the world, I’ve been to Europe, Asia, and here in the US, and no one told me such things with such rudeness.
After that i told her, ok, thanks for the help and i was about to leave. Then a new patient entered the clinic and the old lady at the reception told me: sir ! You have to leave since your kid is sick and we will have kids coming to the clinic !! Seriously !
I was even more shocked by this comment…
I didn’t even had the chance to see the Dr. And i don’t know weather he’s good or not, but with such staff i dont think that this facility deserve the respect or the effort to bring your kids over there.
All comments I received from the lady at the front desk while I was holding my 2 years old sick kid was a disgrace to Medicine.

Dr. Nish has been doing this forever. He’s VERY experienced.
He covers everything you need to know (development wise) at each visit, stays and answers every question you have and he’s not an alarmist. There are Drs out there that just want to medicate and over examine a «problem». He doesnt do that. He has a reasonable approach to every situation, which I appreciate since I’m very matter-​of-​fact about things.
The staff is amazing. You can call once or call 30 times a week, they have all the patience in the world. They have advice for everything and since they’ve been with the Dr forever they know what he would advise also.
I’m so glad we found Dr. Nishibayashi.

Look no further if you are looking for a pediatrician who…
…has years of experience, but stays current in relevant research!
…knows how to respectfully interact with children and put parents at ease.
…has top notch nurses who always answer the phone and your questions!
…remembers you and your child as an individual and not as a medical chart.
…is a great listener and never rushes parents who have questions.
…has a waiting room where you rarely have to wait!
…is one of the people you will miss most when you relocate out of Southern California.
Forever grateful for having Dr. Nish in my son’s life from his first visit in the hospital after birth to nearly his 2^nd birthday. THANK YOU for all that you do for children and their families!

The nurses are always wonderful and answer any questions I may have. Dr. Nish knows his craft!

If being a Dr. means you are rude to your patients parents and make them feel incompetent Dr. Nish gets 5 stars. I have never had a Dr. leave during an exam and not return, especially after diagnosing my child with having pneumonia. Dr is very rude. For Example when asked why my child bleed so much after giving him shots he had the gaul to say you are a female you should be comfortable with blood since i experience a month menstrual cycle. What!!! Thats what i said. Don’t recommend this Dr. I don’t know what people like about him.

Dr. Nish is a wonderful pediatrician. We have been taking our baby to see him since he was born, and he has been absolutely wonderful, calm, and knowledgable, even during our crisis moments and hospital visits. He has a wonderful manner with children.

We found Dr. Nishibayashi because he taught a session on the importance of vaccines at our local hospital when I was expecting our first child (back in 2003). We liked his ethics and his manner and decided to choose him to be our daughter’s pediatrician. Fast-​forward nearly 8 years, and we are still with Dr. Nish, only now we have 4 kids! All of our children have been taken care of by Dr. Nish and his staff. They are always kind, responsive, knowledgable, and thorough. I would absolutely call anyone in that office a friend. They have held my hand through this wild crazy adventure called parenthood, through good visits and scary visits (my son has chronic asthma, so there have been a few panicked phone calls from me!). Never have I been blown off when I’ve had the slightest concern, they always advise me to come in if I feel I should. I have appreciated this doctor’s office so very much. We are moving this summer and I am very sad to leave them. I only hope we can find another pediatrician we like this well… Dr. Nish, Cathy, and Nancy have set the bar pretty high!

I did a lot of research before I picked a dr for my newborn and I have to say I am very happy with my choice. He is a great dr and his staff is very helpful when ever I call to ask them a question over the phone. What I love most about my daughters dr is that his office is never busy and you get in and out fast which is great when you have a little one who cant wait.
