Why Orange County Families Choose SOCPA

Part of Rady Children’s Health and affiliated with three major regional hospitals — As a proud member of Rady Children’s Health Primary Care, SOCPA gives families access to nationally ranked specialists, care coordinators, and enhanced communication among their care team. Our physicians also have privileges at Saddleback Medical Center, Hoag Hospital Irvine, and Rady Children’s (formerly CHOC) Mission Hospital.
The same trusted pediatrician, year after year — For nearly 50 years, we’ve had the privilege of caring for generations of Orange County families. Many of the parents we see today were once SOCPA patients themselves and now trust us with the care of their own children.


No hidden fees for the things that matter most — Prenatal consultations, phone nurse advice, prescription refills, and doctor phone calls are all provided at no additional charge.
Access when you need it, wherever you are — Four locations from Irvine to San Clemente, same-day sick appointments, early hours, extended hours, telehealth, and after-hours care at Ladera Ranch. We’ve thought through every scenario so you don’t have to.


More than routine care — We have a Travel Health Specialist and offer ear piercing at select offices and accurate diagnosis for complex cases. Electronic records are shared across all locations. SOCPA has built a practice that genuinely anticipates what families need.
