Comprehensive pediatric care near you
Kids are bundles of energy that come in packages of all sizes. Our pediatricians understand that children aren’t simply small adults and that many factors can affect their growth and development.
At Dignity Health Medical Group in Oxnard, CA, our pediatricians like to take a holistic approach to children’s health and specialize in your children's physical, emotional, and social health throughout every stage of their lives. Our care team offers same-day appointments, virtual visits, and online scheduling. We also provide 24/7 complimentary nurse advice to our patients.
Pediatric services offered
- Immunizations: from hepatitis vaccines to flu shots, our pediatricians can help you make sense of it all.
- Back-to-school physicals: an annual back-to-school physical is a perfect opportunity to assess your child's health, and also talk through any health concerns.
- Diagnosis and treatment of acute illnesses: such as an ear infection, cold, bronchitis, flu, sinus infection, skin infection, stomach bugs, or strep throat.
- Diagnosis and treatment of chronic illnesses: such as allergies, anemia, asthma, epilepsy, or cystic fibrosis.
- Treatment of skin conditions: such as acne, eczema, or hives.
- Hearing screenings: since a child's hearing can significantly change as they grow, we recommend giving them routine hearing tests to detect any hearing concerns.
- Nutritional counseling: we'll work with you to provide a customized nutritional counseling plan based on factors such as age, picky eating or other problematic eating habits, food allergies or intolerances, fitness/activity level, and more.
- Pediatric behavioral health resources: we believe in understanding and caring for the whole person, which includes mind, body, and spirit connection, and offer counseling and other professional resources to care for your child's well-being.

Frequently asked questions
We recommend that you take your child for a visit to the pediatrician three to five days after birth, but this could change based on your child’s needs.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that parents bring their children to their pediatrician for regular checkups seven times between the ages of 1 and 4. Speak with your pediatrician for the optimal schedule of visits.
You can always schedule an appointment with your pediatrician first, but they may refer you to a specialist who can provide more thorough care for your condition. Major congenital anomalies, malignancies, major trauma, and chronic illnesses in infants and children should be managed by pediatric subspecialists with the assistance of the child’s pediatrician.
