pediatric care
Your child’s health is our priority. DAP Health provides expert pediatric care, from newborn checkups to teen wellness exams, helping you to ensure that your child grows up healthy, strong, and supported from birth to age 18.

Overview
At DAP Health, we know children need and deserve the best start in life. Our compassionate pediatric and family medicine providers offer comprehensive, child-centered health care for infants, children, and teenagers up to age 18 years old. Whether your child needs a routine checkup, immunizations, or treatment for an illness, our team is dedicated to providing expert, family-friendly care in a welcoming, inclusive environment.
Our pediatric services focus on preventive care, helping families make well-informed decisions that are key to a child’s development through well-child visits, developmental screenings, vaccinations, laboratory screenings, and more.
For children managing chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies, obesity, and more, we offer personalized treatment plans to support their long-term well-being.
Mental health screenings are also available to ensure children receive holistic, whole-person care.
As part of DAP Health’s integrated health care model, our pediatric team works closely with other specialists — including dentists, behavioral health providers, and nutritionists — to offer a complete approach to childhood wellness.
We understand that a child’s parents are their best advocates, and we strive to provide you with the tools you need to feel comfortable with your child’s care. We provide families with evidence-based medicine as it relates to guidance on growth, nutrition, vaccinations, and developmental milestones, and ensure you have the resources needed to support your child’s health.
With convenient locations across Riverside and San Diego counties, same-day appointments for urgent needs, and culturally competent care, DAP Health makes high-quality pediatric care accessible to all families.

Pediatric care FAQ
At what age should my child start being seen by a pediatrician?
Pediatric care begins at birth. Newborns should have their first checkup within the first week of life, followed by regular well-child visits throughout infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
What should I bring to my child’s first appointment?
Please bring your child’s immunization records, insurance card (if applicable), any medications currently being taken, and a list of any medical concerns or symptoms you’d like to discuss with the provider.
How often should my child have a well-child visit?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends well-child checkups within five days of birth, then at 2-4 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 24 months, 2 and a half years, 3 years, and annually thereafter up to age 18.
