How do I choose the right pediatrician for my child?

Choosing a pediatrician is one of the most important decisions a parent makes. We encourage families to consider factors such as the doctor’s communication style, office hours, hospital affiliations, and approach to care.

Do you see newborns? Can I visit before my baby is born?

Yes, we care for children from birth. We encourage expectant parents to reach out before their baby arrives to establish care and meet their child’s doctor. That way, your first newborn appointment feels familiar, not rushed.

What is your approach to immunizations?

Our practice follows the vaccination schedule set by the AAP. These guidelines are developed by some of the world’s leading pediatric health experts and are based on decades of scientific research.

We want to be transparent about this: our commitment to the recommended vaccine schedule is not political. It is medical. Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied interventions in the history of medicine, and the schedule is carefully designed to protect children at the ages when they are most vulnerable.

We also understand that in today’s world, it can be hard to know who or what to trust. If you have questions, doubts, or things you’ve read or heard that concern you, we genuinely want to hear them. Our door is open for those conversations — always kindly, always without judgment. Your child’s safety is our shared goal.

What do I do if my child gets sick after hours?

We partner with Rady Children’s Health to offer several options when our office is closed:

• Pediatric Urgent Care: For non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that need in-person evaluation, Rady Children’s Health has urgent care locations available in Irvine and Orange.
• Emergency: If your child is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately. See our pediatric emergency departments here.

See our After-Hours Care page for full details.

When should I use urgent care vs. the emergency room?

Urgent care is appropriate for non-life-threatening situations such as:

• Ear infections, sore throats, or minor infections
• Minor cuts, sprains, or injuries
• Fever in children over 3 months who are otherwise stable
• Vomiting or diarrhea without signs of severe dehydration

Go to the ER or call 911 for situations such as:

• Difficulty breathing or turning blue
• Seizures or loss of consciousness
• Severe allergic reactions
• Head injuries with confusion or repeated vomiting
• Any fever in a baby under 3 months old
