Rene Salhab, MD FAAP

I have been searching for weeks for a new practitioner since I have been unsatisfied with my current one — Dr. Saad in Upland, CA. I did my research and took into consideration a vast amount of reviews on various sites. I decided to call Children’s Choice Pediatrics since Dr. Salhab had consistent great reviews. The receptionist, Jackie let me know when I was on the phone that since Dr. Salhab has multiple locations it can sometimes be a little tougher to always see him. While I was not able to meet with him just yet, I decided to schedule the appointment with Dr. Elias. And I’m so glad that I did — as he was awesome! He took more time with my son then I had ever seen my old pediatrician take in the past 2 years! He was thorough, answered all of my questions and engaged with my son in such a friendly manner that he didn’t even cry. I had been told in the past that my son was getting sick so often due to «allergies», and to put him on zyrtec or claritin. I refused and did not think that was the case — as he is only 2 and I don’t believe in giving him daily meds at such a young age. Once Dr. Elias listened to his lungs and thoroughly assessed his health, he immediately administered a 10 minute breathing treatment at the office. While the bad news is that my son was diagnosed with a low case of asthma — it is because he received this treatment that he was able to note the cause of his reoccurring symptoms.
The office is clean and kept up to the point that I felt so much more at ease with allowing my son to touch anything. The front staff and especially the receptionist Jackie is AMAZING! What a gem! She really talks to you to make sure your child’s needs are met and the nurses are very personable. I have already requested my sons medical records to be sent over to Children’s Choice since I am confident that this practice is the right choice for our family. I encourage any parent to give this place a try and you won’t be sorry!

Dr. Salhab is a doctor who really cares for his little patients. He is helpful and informative. His staff is extremely friendly and are there to help assist you with whatever you may need. This is by far one of the best pediatrician offices you can go to.

Dr. Salhab is such an amazing Doctor. I took my son for a check up and the doctor treated him so sweetly. Also the staff is very helpful and nice

I highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Salhb is amazing doctor who really cares a lot about his patients. He is very professional and know what is he doing. Front desk, especially Jacki is very helpful and always gets things done. Although she is get busy with phone calls and other things, she know the patient status and always follow up with parent.

Sure the location is convenient that is why they get a 1 star. Besides that I don’t like the docters here. My 16month old son had an ear infection the docter said that it doesn’t hurt to touch his ears he’s just being a baby (Are you kidding me of course it hurts to touch his ears he has an infection which every other docter knows hurts them and it bothers them that’s why they cry rubbing it) then we always have to wait over an hour to be seen because there’s to many patients waiting in the waiting room all at the same time. The receptionist is really nice and helpful but the docters aren’t very good or caring in my opinion. Also I’ve had other pediatricians that ask more questions about him if hes sick and let you know information you may forget to ask them. Also when they prescribe an antibiotic they only did the exact dosing that was required (u try getting a 16month old to take nasty cotton candy medicine, it’s a struggle) most docters give u a little extra just in case a few dosings get spit out. it’s all just so frustrating.

I Was worrried about picking a pediatrician for my son he’s a newborn. This location was very convenient since it’s so close to home. I’m so glad I picked this place very clean no long waits the receptionist was very kind and patient the medical assistant was very patient and handled my baby and my daughter very well including the assistant that gave him his shots. I’m impressed including the doctor and nurse practitioner took interest and answered my questions I’m beyond happy I choose this office to take care of my kids medical care.

Dr. Salhab is the best! He is caring, attentive, and thorough. Dr. Salhab has been our pediatrician for 4 years. I have never been so pleased with a doctor, ever. Dr. Salhab treats you like you are family. He really is one of the most caring, passionate doctors I have ever met. Any time my children are sick he makes sure they are seen and treated right away. He goes above and beyond to make them feel better! In fact, my kids beg to visit because they love him so much ! I cannot say enough about Dr. Salhab’s level of care!

I moved to Rancho Cucamonga from the bay area. Called today to see if they had availability for my twins and they sure did. Very friendly and fantastic customer service over the phone and in person! My twins were not hesitant at all with seeing Altaira. So glad I found a Pediatrician for my twins!

I LOVE this office! From the nurse staff to the doctor. They are all fantastic. Dr. Selhab remembers us every time we come which makes my kids feel really good. He takes his time with each child and we never feel rushed. We’ve never had to wait in the lobby more than 10 minutes even when they’re very busy. 5 stars all around.

Very good place. clean and has the best staff. Jackie was very helpful and accomodating. Dr. salhab is amazing. Thankful to God for helping me chose this place and doctor for my son…

My daughter and sister come here and i love it !!! Very detailed and the staff seemed to really care about my baby and her being so scared of shots. Dr Rene is really nice and i like that he was respectful of my 15 year old sisters privacy and made her feel comfortable …

Just switched my pediatrician to this office and I am very pleased! Staff is always friendly and Kind and the doctor answers all my questions and concerns regarding my 2 month old daughter!

Dr. Salhabs office is amazing! I first met him in the hospital after my son was born. I was a first time mom and didn’t have a pediatrician chosen but I’m so happy I didn’t. Dr. Salhab was referred to by the on call doctor that delivered my son. I am so happy he did. Dr. Salhab is patient and always takes the time to answer any questions i may have. He is also very knowledgable about different medical conditions and ways to treat various ailments. He performed the circumcision on my son as well in office. My son will be 3 and has seen dr. Salhab since he was a day old. His staff is beyond words as well. Every person in this office is welcoming not only to me but to my son. Jackie is the bomb dot com lol. She is on top of all referrals and appointments I may need. She never lets me down. Tiana, Anna, Kayan is I think her name are all great too. The nurse practitioner is great too very smart and nice as well. Bottom line if you are a new parent or just want a better environment to bring your children to; this is the place. I moved last year but drive from corona just to make sure my son sees this doctor. This is a place that makes you feel like you are family. Thank you to dr. Salhab and the rest of your team!

I moved to the Rancho Cucamoga Area from Orange County, and found Dr. Rene Salhab, and I’m very pleased with him, he takes his time to understand your child needs and never rushes the visit. His staff is Amazing and very helpful and friendly. They always manage to work my daughters in appointments whenever their sick. I recommend him if you want a Great pediatrician and Amazing staff that help all the time.

From the moment I chose Dr Salhab to be my sons pediatrician I have been more than pleased. My son has been a patient from 5 days old and now 2 years and counting. The services My son recives is exceptional. The customer service over the phone and in person is phenomenal. The ladies that answer the phone know me by my voice over the phone. The interpersonal relationships that every staff member in his offices establish with each individual patient is something that every business needs for succes and growth. I moved from rancho cucamonga ca to victorville ca and I have commuted to Dr Salhabs office with no problem and will continue to because I am more than satisfied with how comfortable and assured I feel as a parent after every visit. Dr Salhab and his staff members go above and beyond to make their patients and parents feel great!

My first time meeting Dr Salhab was in the hospital. He checked and did a procedure on my newborn son. He is warm and personable and I felt immediately at ease with him. I would definitely recommend him. When I called his office with questions about a bill, they were fair and answered my questions.

I really recommend this office Dr Salhab is a very excellent Doctor very understanding and professional. Ever since my son was born ive been going their going on 3yrs. He’s staff is very professional and very helpful and I also want to say thank u to Jacky she is very friendly and helpful I hope she never leaves that office because she is a keeper its hard to find good employees like that.

I brought my son here as a new patient about a month ago and had a great experience. The front office staff was very friendly and sweet to my son. I was put in a room within 10 minutes from check in and was seen by a female nurse practitioner who answered all of my concerns. The office is also very clean, I am glad I found this office.

Dr. Salhab is an absolutely excellent pediatrician! We found him after we took our twins to another pediatrician who lacked not only compassion, but failed to provided adequate treatment to our twins.
Both of our twins had to be hospitalized on two different occasions. Dr. Salhab did not hesitate to take appropriate action, and get them admitted. During each separate admittance, Dr. Salhab came to check on each of them early morning, during his lunch, after work, and even called in between to check on their progress. Dr. Salhab even called after they were released, even days after!
Dr. Salhab is very kind to our twins, and listens to my wife and I even when we have the littlest concerns. He always provides great care and does not offer band-​aid solutions.
Furthermore, he is on call ²⁴⁄₇ and is quick to call us back. His staff is friendly and gets us in right away no matter the situation.

Excellent pediatrician! He is very knowledgable and very friendly to both parents and kids! His office is so great about squeezing in patients when they can which is absolutely awesome since most doctors don’t do that. I would recommend this doctor to any one with little ones! He is a wonderful physician!
P. S. I love his assistants! They’re very professional and kind!
