Welcome to Our Practice

Comprehensive friendly care

We offer comprehensive health care from birth all the way through the college years. Many of us remember the way medicine used to be; growing up with the same doctor whom your family knew and trusted. We remain committed to those same old-fashioned ideals and enjoy practicing in a smaller, more personalized private practice setting. We treat Asthma Allergies ADHD Autism , and more.

Patients can request to see the doctor of their choice for all well visits and most appointment types. Our friendly staff and providers look forward to getting to know you on a personal level and building a long term relationship with you.

We enjoy serving the greater San Diego area; including: 4S Ranch, Del Sur, Torrey Highlands, Carmel Valley, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Ramona, Rancho Penasquitos, Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe. Patients also travel to see us from Julian and Borrego Springs.

We accept a wide range of health plans from various commercial payors to include PPO’s, HMO’s through the Children’s Physicians Medical Group, Healthy Families, Medi-Cal and Medi-Cal HMO’s, and Tri-West; as well as self-paying families. 

Our physicians do not rely on an answering service but take their own call, 24/7, and as needed.  Soon we’ll be able to take on-line appointment requests, making it even easier to schedule visits that fit in with your busy lifestyle.

We look forward to serving you and helping you in one of life’s most rewarding challenges: raising happy and healthy children.
