<p>Dr. Bar is an amazing doctor and has become our friend. When you&#8217;re inviting someone into your home, especially a doctor, you want them to have exceptional bedside manners. And Dr. Bar does and she&#8217;s wonderful with my daughter making each check up is such a pleasure. Dr. Bar cares about the whole health of your child. She&#8217;s given me great advise about nutrition, bathing and calmed my new mom nerves. We highly recommend her and hope that you&#8217;ll have the opportunity to have your child under Dr. Bar&#8217;s care!</p>

<p>Dr. Bar has been seeing our daughter since she was an infant. Our daughter is now 10 and we would not think of taking her to any other doctor. Dr. Bar cares, and it shows. She always listens to our concerns and gives us the best care and treatment. We would not trust our daughter&#8217;s health to just any one, and Dr Bar is not just any one. She&#8217;s warm, friendly and always a human first, and a doctor second. Another thing we like about Dr. Bar. She never rushes us out of the office, and always spends quality time with us. She?s the type of person you can confide and know that you can trust implicitly. God bless Dr. Bar. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After-hours pediatric House Calls urgent practice fills void for urgent care for  families in Newport Beach and Newport Coast.</p>
<p>Last week one of the parents asked me:  Why do I make House Calls?<br />
I said: “Because illnesses and accidents don’t always happen during business hours, over my last 20 years working with children It never fails that kids wait until 5:05 p.m. to sprain an ankle or show signs of ear infection.”<br />
My goal is to provide an affordable alternative to expensive emergency room care for parents and their children. And at the same time, ensure that the children receive the same quality care they would from their primary care pediatrician. An emergency visit may cost close to a thousand dollars not to mention the lost value of our time. </p>
<p>While I am committed to providing our patients with excellent urgent care after hours, we are also committed to providing their primary care pediatrician with excellent follow-up information. This is why so many pediatricians refer their own patients to us time and time again.<br />
We&#8217;re open 365 days a year, after your regular pediatrician&#8217;s office is closed<br />
For after-hours appointments, call Dr. Bar’s cell 949 675- 6759  after 4 pm on weekdays and at any time on weekends and holidays.<br />
359 San Miguel Dr. Suite 200<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Bar, our local <a href="http://www.drbar.org">Newport Beach pediatrician</a> was awarded the &#8220;Physician of Excellences&#8221; for her dedication to her profession and meeting the demands of every day life of being a physician.  From seeing sick children, calming worried mothers, helping teenagers through their issues, to being just a mother and a wife, all at the same time.  Most of the time, her work does not end at 5pm.  Phone calls from the hospital and patients that have access to her cell phone, call her through out the night.<br />
Also, Dr. Bar is the only &#8220;Physician&#8221; that will come to your house to care for your sick child.  She is one of the best, considerate, hard working, and well educated physician around and she is truly immersed into her profession and she deserves this award.  Written by her dedicated husband, who believes that all spouses married to physicians also deserve an award called &#8220;Spouses of Excellences&#8221;.<br />

<p>Dr. Bar is a local mom who is passionate about providing here community with wellness education and the choice to pursue  a natural approach to our Childrens  Healthcare by  Integrating both Conventional and Natural Treatment simultaneously. </p>
<p><strong>Prenatal consults</strong>: In addition to her seminars and classes &#8220;How to raise natural healthy babies&#8221; . I enjoy to have open discussions about <strong>controversy on immunization</strong>s and how to improve our surrounding environment to better our children&#8217; s health and future.<br />
Philosophy<br />
&#8220;My goal is to help families make an informed health decisions for their children, including choices about natural medical care from “diapers to diploma”. provide the best guidelines to ensure that our childern are vibrant, healthy individiuals&#8221;.</p>
<p>Children by nature are robust and responsive to<strong> natural and preventive care</strong>. Many of the conditions affecting families today can be easily managed with a simple <strong>nutritional approach</strong> and natural, <strong>non invasive therapies</strong>. To that end, I am available to give kid-friendly nutrition talks to groups at schools as well as private consults.<br />
I believe in educating families about nutritious whole foods, and healthier lifestyles, <strong>remedies as well as homeopathy </strong>that  work for cure rather than mere symptom resolution.</p>
<p>To schedule a private or group consult with Dr. Bar email us at: drbarmsg@hotmail.com or call the office at 949 646 3623<br />

<p>Last Year, Iman Bar found herself unexpectedly on call. The pediatrician, who operaters a clinic on Costa Mesa&#8217;s Westside, was at the birthday party of one of her children&#8217;s friends when a boy fell in the back yard and suffered a nasty cut to his head. The family was ready to drive him to the hospital, but as fate would have it, Dr. Bar had her emergency kit in the car and mended the wound promptly.</p>
<p>From that moment came a business idea. Dr. Bar, who has seen patients at her Harbor Boulevard office since 2000, began making house calls shortly after the party &#8211; and a year later, she still has her phone on her 24/7, ready for a summons.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought, &#8216;I would like to serve my community by providing service in their homes, rather than have them wait in the ER,&#8217;&#8221; said Dr. Bar, a native Egyptian who moved to the United States in 1990.</p>
<p>Now, Dr. Bar&#8217;s business, Newport Concierge Pediatrics, extends across a five-mile redius around her residence in Newport Beach. She only gets one or two calls in a typical week, but she&#8217;s primed for almost any urgent care &#8211; including cuts, burns, bee stings, ear infections, and even advice on child care for nervous first-time parents.</p>
<p>Given her background, Dr. Bar isn&#8217;t overwhelmed by much. She worked as a pediatrician in Egypt before crossing the Atlantic to earn her doctorate at Emory University in Georgia. At one point, she said, she treated the prince of Kuwait when the royal family fled to Egypt during the Gulf War in 1990.</p>
<p>The experience reminded Dr. Bar &#8211; who now lives in Corona Del Mar &#8211; how all patients become alike in the doctor&#8217;s office.</p>
<p>&#8220;He we a prince who, like anyone else, had an ear infection,&#8221; she said.</p>
