El Camino Pediatrics was founded in
1974 to provide pediatric service to
the North County area of San Diego.
As a pediatric group we are committed
to providing education, assurance and
quality of care for your family.
Our
philosophy at El Camino Pediatrics
is to combine competence with caring
and, when possible, with fun! We have
used these goals when choosing partners,
staff members, and in extending office
hours and other services.
You will
notice that we are on electronic medical
records and carry around our laptops,
which has improved our efficiency in
many areas!
The information on this website will
answer many of the questions about
our practice and how it works.
We provide well-care
examinations from newborns through adolescents (age
18), sick
visits, and minor surgical
procedures (such as sutures, wart removals,
and new needle-less laceration repairs).
We can consult with families on more
involved health issues like attention
deficit disorder, chronic headaches,
chronic abdominal pain, school or behavioral
issues, nutritional problems, allergy
or asthma problems and more.
We also provide in office lactation
consultations to support our breastfeeding
mothers.
We are on staff at
Scripps
Memorial Hospital La Jolla and Scripps
Encinitas Hospital for
newborn care.
Please contact us
if you have any questions.
We have provided health
information from our library of handouts
that we routinely use at El Camino Pediatrics
and many links for other types of health information,
including Dr. Wood's My Kids Doctor Visit site (designed to help
you decide what is a real emergency and what
can usually wait until office hours).
Happy Exploring!
