Pediatric Staff

Dr. Andrew Novom has been with the San Pedro Pediatric Medical Group since 1999 and has been practicing pediatrics since 1989.  He completed all of his education and training in Southern California where he happily resides with his wife and their three children, who are in various stages of leaving the nest.  Taking care of children and spending time with his family are his passions.

Dr. Follmar is the newest member of the San Pedro Pediatric Medical Group, joining in February 2013.  He previously worked as a pediatric hospitalist for three years at Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach.  Dr. Follmar studied at the University of California at Davis before attending Georgetown University School of Medicine.  He completed his pediatric residency at Children's Hospital Los Angeles in 2009.  Dr. Follmar shares his passion for pediatrics with his patients.  In his precious free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three young children.

Dr. Priscilla Novom has been practicing pediatrics since 1988; first as a school physician, then for the Los Angeles County Health Department, and finally for the past 14 years with her husband at the San Pedro Pediatric Medical Group.  Her fluency in Spanish has always been an asset.  Taking care of children is simply an extension of the love and care with which she has raised her three children and the importance to her family.
