FAQ

New Patients:

I am currently accepting new patients. Choosing your child’s doctor is an important decision. I’m always happy to conduct complimentary interviews with prospective patients. Please call the Westside Pediatric office at (310) 979-7337 to set up an appointment.

What if I have a concern after the office is closed? Are you available weekends?

For all non-emergency related concerns I can be reached by email. For emergency’s I can be reached through our paging system.

Will my newborn baby be seen by you?

I make it a priority to see all my newborn patients in the hospital and to maintain close communication with parents in the days after delivery. We then have all of our newborns follow up in the office 24 – 48 hours after being discharged home.

What kind of insurance do you accept?

I accept most major PPO insurance plans. For more information regarding insurance and payment options please visit the Westside Pediatrics Financial & Insurance Policies page or call the office and they will be happy to help you.

Where do you recommend I find reliable children’s health tips and advice online?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (www.aap.org), Healthy Children (www.healthychildren.org), and Kids Today Online (www.kidstodayonline.com) are great resources. However, if your child is sick be sure to see a doctor.
