Raising Sages Integrative Pediatrics

Dr. Dane is excellent. I was taking my daughter to see him and it was always a great experience. He is very patient and answered all my questions with well thought out, informative answers.

I’m constantly telling my family and friends about our beloved pediatrician and his wife. Dr. Dane is so kind and patient, he’s knowledgeable and thorough. I don’t think I’ve been to an appointment yet where he’s taken less than an hour with us. He has a sound, balanced approach to wellness, suggesting natural remedies first. He and his wife issue a weekly email newsletter with wonderful articles on natural health with a holistic approach encompassing healthy body, mind and heart.
I can’t express enough how so grateful I am to have him as our pediatrician!

Dr. Dane is amazing! We have been taking our little one to him since he was a few days old for well visits. Unlike many pediatric offices, his will put you as ease as you walk in. I bet bigger kids LOVE spending time there. As first time parents we had a ton of questions and he made to sure to answer all of our questions. His approach is holistic– he will always discuss and educate you on your options. We have Kaiser and we can go there at no charge, but we chose to pay out of pocket at Raising Sages, because it’s worth having an educated, passionate, holistic, and just a great human being as your pediatrician. Look no farther.

Dr. Dane is amazing! He does a wonderful job integrating holistic practices with pediatrics, and always gives the parents options on how to address any specific circumstance. He ALWAYS takes the time to explain an issue, empowering you to make the choices that you feel are right for your child. No judgement, just a holistic approach. I recommend him to anyone who is interested in utilizing some more alternative medicines but who also wants a board certified pediatrician.

Dr. Dane is a hidden gem in a sea of over-​praised mediocre pediatricians that reside in Newport Beach. We recently switched our infant and 11-​year-​old from Dr. Bob (Sears), because we wanted someone in our own city, who also takes insurance. We are so grateful we found Dr. Dane. (We also used to go to Coastal Kids for pediatrician care)
Dr. Dane spends so much time during each visit and his well-​rounded approach to medicine is so refreshing. Even my lawyer husband who questions EVERYTHING/​ONE is pleased with our switching to him.
I would recommend Raising Sages to anyone who wants the absolute best care for their child (ren).

Love, Raising Sages! After our initial consult (almost 2 hours), my husband and I left feeling so relieved that we had finally found a pediatrician like Dr. Dane. Hands down, he is the best. He took the time to listen to us and to get to know our son, as well as answer our many questions. Not once did we feel rushed. It is a relief to know that our son is in such great hands and to be partnering with Dr. Dane in establishing a healthy road ahead for our son.

We recently changed from Kaiser to UHC (so thankful to be out of that medical group!) and I took my 18 month old to see Dr Dane. My son has eczema and tons of food allergies and he was able to give us so much information along with info about his developmental skills. He spent an entire hour with us and probably would’ve spent more if he didn’t have another patient. I’ve never had a dr that I felt so comfortable with, really took the time to listen and evaluate the entire visit based on my son’s needs. I wanted to cry, just feeling a sense of relief someone like him, exist.

In an environment where doctors are trying to force vaccines and other one size fits all approaches, Dr Dane saves the day. I don’t want to be bullied into doing anything for my children. Dane offers advice and answers all questions (my first appointment was two hours). I am a worry wart and research everything and he was more than knowledgeable on western medicine and a holistic approach, perfect balance. He made my husband and I feel at ease and at home. Even though we live far from the office, I will no longer take my kid’s to their old’s pediatrician. We are the parents and we will have to live with whatever the consequences.

Dr. Dane was amazing and so incredibly knowledgable. He is so helpful and truly cares. We highly recommend this practice to everyone that is looking for a pediatrician that goes the extra mile and spends the time needed to understand your individual child. His office is inviting and beautiful. All we can say is we wish we found him sooner!

We love Dr. Dane! When I was pregnant, my husband and I wanted to find a pediatrician who would be open to an alternative vaccine schedule and able to help us make informed decisions. As a Christian Scientist, I also wanted someone who would be respectful of my personal preference for metaphysical healthcare as a first resort. Dr. Dane is all of the above and more. He’s completely warm and welcoming, always ready for appointments on time (unheard of in all my other medical experiences), willing to talk with us for as long as needed to be sure all our questions get answered, and well-​versed in both traditional western medicine and alternatives such as homeopathy and essential oils. The office is unlike any other medical office I’ve visited. It’s designed to be more like a yoga studio, and that makes for a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. I’m so glad we’ve partnered with Dr. Dane in the care for our little one, and I highly recommend Raising Sages.

Dr. Dane encompasses everything I’ve been looking for in a pediatrician for my 4 mo old son. We were looking for a doctor that would listen to and answer our questions and support and respect our decisions. Doesn’t seem like a lot to ask for but, sadly, after meeting with a few other pediatricians in the area, we found that all had a level of arrogance about them which led them to patronize us with every question we had, especially when asked about their stance on vaccinations. Dr. Dane is the only doctor we came across who’s philosophy is completely in line with ours (he’s a true yogi and a world traveler on top of being well-​educated). We are always greeted with a warm welcome and leave feeling more confident as first-​time parents. He always takes the time to address any concerns we have, educates us on our options, and supports our decisions. He handles our baby boy as if he is his own and gives him the patience and empathy that he needs while being checked up. The office is super clean, with nice but minimal décor, and has even has aromatherapy diffusers in every room. It really doesn’t look or feel like your standard institutional doctors office.
Another cool facet of Raising Sages is the open communication. Through their patient portal I have access to my baby’s records, I can schedule appointments, and email Dr. Dane with any questions I have. I really wish all my doctors offered this convenient means of communicating.
I highly recommend Dr. Dane to all proactive parents that are looking to add a great doctor to their family’s support system.

Raising Sages is not your typical pediatrician’s office. The moment we walked in, we all felt at home. My 3yro son loves to play with the kitchen set and toys. Whenever his sister has an apt, he asks if he can get checked too :) While my newborn was sick this past winter, he took the time to check in with us and make sure she was doing better. Dr Dane takes a holistic approach to treating your little ones, by looking at all aspects of life. If you’re looking for a pediatrician who will take the time and energy to help you make the best health decisions for you and your family, Raising Sages is the place to go.

I highly recommend Raising Sages and Dr. Dane for anyone looking for a professional, caring, and holistic Pediatrician. I trust his expert knowledge when weighing my options about medical decisions for my two sons. We have seen Dr. Dane for wellness visits, and he even glued my oldest sons forehead back together after a nasty fall at his school. Going to an ER would have been traumatic for him, so we were so lucky to be able to go to the Raising Sages peaceful office where Dr. Dane gave him excellent care. Dr. Dane is well educated, professional and a Father you can trust.

Wow! I feel truly blessed to have been introduced to Dane and Sapna, the founders of Raising Sages Pediatrics. I absolutely love the wide array of tools provided to meet the needs of the individual patient, combining the best aspects of both allopathic and complementary medicine. At Raising Sages, you feel like family and relationship building is definitely one of their core values. Dr. Dane is extremely generous with his time, truly connecting with his patients and their families so they, together, can develop the best treatment plan to address the underlying causes of disease. I love the integrative approach to their treatment plans; which includes diet and lifestyle recommendations, family communication practices and actively engages the entire family in the decision making process! What a supportive, empowering and comprehensive approach to family medicine! Thank you Raising Sages for choosing to open your practice in Orange County!!!
