I don't know their insurance policies regarding HMO, but try the Children's Medical Group in Torrance (their offices are next door to Torrance Memorial Hospital). Our doctor is part of this group and it's a wonderful setup there. Dr. Klyman is the lead doctor. Our doctor is Dr. Sergis, but she's out on maternity. The group has all pediatricians, plus specialists in allergy, HDD, etc. They also have after-hours call in to the Pediatric Nurse's desk at Torrance Memorial and Saturday appointments. They also will get your child in same day if they are sick...it may not be your regular doctor, but your child will always see someone that day. We love them.

Hi V.,

My husband and I love our pediatrician - Dr. Nguyen Nguyen - ###-###-####. He's located in Torrance. His wife Hanna is great too! They work together. She helps run his office. We just had our first baby - a beautiful baby girl - on Jan. 22nd. After interviewing 4 pediatricians, we knew Dr. Nguyen was the doctor for us!

Good luck! L.
