Only the best will do for our children! Our practice in Park La Brea was established in 1997 and currently serves thousands of young patients. In 2004, we opened another office in Woodland Hills, and in 2009 we expanded and moved to Calabasas. In 2019 we expanded and moved to our new location in Woodland Hills. We hope that our services to local communities will be productive and successful. We have two separate waiting rooms for sick and well kids. We offer evening and Saturday hours for your convenience.

Our Services
Care, consultations, and support for every stage
From your first prenatal visit through college immunizations, our team pairs hands-on care with education, nutrition guidance, and support — including a 24-hour line to a doctor on call.
Educational Seminars
We offer education seminars at our office or via video conferencing. Interested in a topic? Contact our office and we'll schedule it.
Weight Management & Nutritional Consultation
Being overweight increases a child's risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. We help build a nutrition plan to keep your child at a healthy weight.
School & Sport Physicals
Starting school or gearing up for organized sports? These physicals help identify anything that could get in the way.
Prenatal Consultation for Pregnant Mothers
Thinking about getting pregnant, concerned about genetic conditions, or already expecting and want to meet our doctors? Call our office to schedule a free consultation.
Breastfeeding Consultation
A breastfeeding consultant can help you work through common challenges, including:
Poor milk supply
Trouble hitting weight milestones
Struggles finding the right nursing position
Baby falling asleep at the breast
Baby refusing to breastfeed
Baby Massage & Gymnastics
Baby massage and gymnastics support your child's development in several ways:
Physical benefits
Mental benefits
Emotional benefits
Social benefits
Camp Physicals
Off to camp? A camp physical can help identify health problems that may interfere with your child's time there.
Adolescent Services
Adolescence is a major milestone in your child's development. Our medical team offers full services tailored to this phase of life.
24-Hour Emergency Phone Line
We're on call when you need us. Our 24-hour emergency line connects you straight to the doctor on call.
Management of Pediatric Problems, Acute & Chronic
Acute and chronic problems can feel overwhelming. We're part of your child's care team and help manage most medical problems, big or small.
Routine Immunizations
We encourage vaccination and provide honest, data-based information on each vaccine and the disease it prevents, vaccinating with parents' consent. Education starts at prenatal visits and continues at every well check, following American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines.
Well-Child Exams
Well-child exams are an important part of your child's overall health and build a strong relationship between your family and our doctor team.
Newborn Services in the Hospital
Whether it's your first baby or your second, we'll see your newborn in the hospital and guide you through their care so they don't feel so small and fragile.
Nutritional Consultations for Infants
Proper nutrition helps your child grow strong. We'll work with you to build a customized nutrition plan for your baby.
Behavioral & Developmental Consultation
We offer behavioral and physical development consultations. We're part of your child's team and we're happy to answer any question.
College Immunizations
Young adults need vaccines too. Living in close quarters — like dorms — and sharing bathrooms and food makes it easier to come into contact with germs. Getting vaccinated helps protect you, your family, and your community.
Baby Ear Piercing
We can safely pierce your baby's ears right here in our office.
