San Diego Pediatrics, located at 6475 Alvarado Road Suite 120, San Diego, CA 92120, is now accepting newborn patients (ages two months to two years) from Alpine, El Cajon, and Lakeside. We offer both newborn clinics and follow-up clinics to give families full awareness about their child’s overall health.

Periodic visits are an excellent time for parents and physicians alike to review all health concerns, set immunization schedules, go over healthy family habits, and track developmental milestones. As your child ages, we recommend scheduling a well check every two months for their first year and then every three months in their second year.

At every visit a pediatrician will check your baby’s height and weight while ensuring that he or she is on pace for standard developmental anniversaries. During each well check we will also establish certain practices and routines to prepare you for all the upcoming phases of your child’s development.

Some of the crucial topics we will discuss throughout these visits is how to introduce the child to solid foods at five months of age, how to baby-proof the living environment at six months of age, how to wean the child off the bottle at one year of age, and how to arrange periodic screenings at 18 and 24 months of age. Monitoring your baby’s growth in this way will help our physicians diagnose any developmental issues, recognize the need for intervention, and easily navigate families through all the various complexities of new parenthood.

It is our mission to work with families to guarantee that their baby is as healthy as possible. Should any signs of developmental problems arise, further examination can be completed through medical screenings. If either the family or the pediatrician voice a concern that requires additional investigation, the doctor will at that point conduct a short test of basic skills. These tests will help both parties recognize any learning impediments or areas in need of improvement. We strongly recommend that your child undergo these screenings at the following stages of their advancement:

15 months

18 months

24 or 30 months

Keep in mind that around 13% of all U.S. children are diagnosed with some form of condition ranging from autism, language and/or school-readiness delays, intellectual disabilities, and other early onset challenges. Identifying these problems in the beginning stages can significantly help such children (as well as their families) if detected early. Medical services, family services, counseling, psychological services, occupational therapy, and physical therapy gives your child a strong chance to develop on pace with his or her peers. Our clinics act as convenient stops for knowledge and overall support for families throughout the child’s developmental stages.

Contact our office at 619-583-6133 to schedule your next well visit with us today!

Much like many industries, there was a lot of unpredictability and change. However, I learned several very important lessons along the way.

    There’s no easy root canals in endodontics

    The thing that makes root canals so interesting to root canal specialists is the fact that every tooth has different anatomy. This is both a blessing and a curse. One of the best parts of doing root canals for a living is being able to treat a wide variety of different dental anatomy.

    Does poor oral health impact brain function?

    Oral health can be a surprisingly good indicator of a person's well-being. Not only can oral diseases reduce a person's quality of life, but they can also increase the risk of other serious conditions. Perceived stress may detrimentally impact oral health which, in turn, may lead to cognitive decline among specific elderly communities, according to two new studies.
