Our Location: As of January 2019, our address is 8135 Painter Ave, Suite 303, Whittier, CA  90602.

COVID-19 UPDATE

Our Office is Open for Safe In-Person Visits and Telehealth. We are also doing Well Visits, especially for young children. Please don't let your baby's immunizations lapse for fear of exposure to Covid-19. We are taking extremely strict measures to prevent exposure of children and adults to infection of all kinds in our office.   

We are able to do rapid covid testing in our office.  These tests are for children who have symptoms of possible Covid infection or who need clearance for school.  Results are available within 15 minutes. 

We are happy to offer Telehealth visits if your child is showing mild symptoms of Covid 19.  We can help you treat your child's symptoms, optimize nutrition to help the immune system work its best and know when to seek medical help.  While Covid 19 symptoms are generally mild in children, if your child has risk factors such  as asthma, diabetes, an underlying chronic disease or a history of prematurity, we can help you and your family deal with Covid safely and optimally. 

If your child has Covid and needs to be seen, we offer in office visits. Let us know that your child has Covid when you call and we will use a time slot that will not expose other patients, as well as enhanced sanitation procedures.  Children with significant cough or fever lasting more than 5 days should be seen in the office.

If your children experienced school problems, stress, sleep issues or weight gain during the pandemic, you are not alone.  Check out our new page on Helping Your  Family through the Covid Crisis and minimizing the effects of the lockdown. Click on the menu in the left upper corner of this page.
