Pediatric care at OpSam Health starts at birth and continues through adolescence. Our pediatricians in San Diego provide a full spectrum of services designed to promote healthy growth and development:

Wellness & Preventive Care

Routine wellness visits are crucial for maintaining lifelong health and preventing potential health issues. These appointments allow our pediatric care specialists to:

Vaccinations

Immunizations protect children against serious infectious diseases and are an important part of pediatric wellness. Our pediatric care team in San Diego provides all recommended vaccinations for infants, toddlers, school‑age children, and adolescents.

Developmental Care

Children develop at different rates. Our pediatric care specialists monitor physical, social, and cognitive milestones, helping identify delays or challenges early. When needed, we coordinate care with specialists to provide therapy, counseling, or other resources, supporting your child’s growth and confidence.

Sick Visits & Acute Care

Illness can happen suddenly. At OpSam Health, we provide prompt evaluation and treatment for common illnesses, infections, and minor injuries. Fast access to care helps reduce stress for both children and parents, giving families peace of mind.

  • Balanced Nutrition – Encourage a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to fuel growth and support immune health.
