Our Pediatric Services in Irvine, CA
From newborn checkups to teen sports physicals, our Irvine pediatric office provides comprehensive primary care in a calm, family-friendly setting—with weekday and select Saturday appointments to fit busy family schedules.
Well-Child Visits, Developmental Screenings and Routine Physicals
American Academy of Pediatrics-aligned checkups that monitor growth, milestones, behavior, and emotional well-being from newborn through age 18
New patient families: You can print our new patient forms and fill them out before coming in to ensure your pediatrician sees you at your scheduled appointment time. If you are unable to fill it out before the appointment, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to have enough time to complete all forms. Please also bring in the patient’s insurance information.
Newborn and Infant Care
Hospital follow-up visits, weight checks, feeding and lactation support, and personalized guidance for new parents in Irvine and beyond
We strongly encourage you to make your newborn appointment as soon as possible and no later than 3 days after the discharge from the hospital.
Depending on your insurance, the newborn’s insurance will usually be under the mother for the first 30 days, so please bring in mom’s insurance information when coming into your scheduled appointment.
Childhood Immunizations
On-schedule, AAP-recommended vaccines, including travel and back-to-school updates
Travel consults: Appointments to review your travel situation should be made at least 2 weeks before you plan to leave the country. We will give you information regarding your destination and will provide the needed vaccinations for the trip.
Autism Evaluation and Developmental Follow-Up Care
In-office autism evaluations and ongoing developmental follow-up, so families can get answers quickly—all under one roof, without being referred out to another office. After a diagnosis, we continue to follow your child closely, with regular check-ins to support their growth every step of the way.
School, Sports and Camp Physicals
Thorough physicals that meet IUSD, SVUSD and other local school district requirements, plus club, travel, and college sports forms
Most schools require a form to be filled out by a physician in order for your child to participate in an athletic program. If a physical examination was done within 6 months, you can bring in the form and the physician will be able to fill it out. There may be a fee to fill out the form and may require 5-7 days for completion.
If a recent physical examination was not done within 6 months, you’ll need to schedule an appointment for your child’s sports physical. Please fill out the form before bringing it in.
Ear Piercings
If you would like to schedule your child for an ear piercing, we advise waiting until your child is at least 6 months of age. There is a fee of $75, which includes two gold plated earrings and the minor procedure done by Irvine pediatrician Dr. Anjali Monga.
Meet and Greets for Expecting Parents
Expecting mothers are welcome to meet with our doctors before choosing their child’s primary care physician.
These meet and greets are typically scheduled on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. Please give us a call if you’re interested. We understand this can be a stressful decision, and we’re here to help you make the perfect choice!
