Meet Us Before Your Baby Arrives
Becoming a parent means making big decisions fast, and choosing your pediatrician is one worth getting right before your due date.
At Southern Orange County Pediatric Associates, we’ve built time into every physician’s schedule specifically for expecting families. We’d rather you walk into your baby’s first appointment already feeling at home.
Schedule a Prenatal Meet and Greet
Every SOCPA physician holds consultation slots at the end of their day reserved for expecting parents. It’s your chance to sit down, ask everything on your mind, and get a genuine feel for the doctor before your baby arrives.
To schedule, call our office at 949-770-4242 and our team will get you on the calendar with the physician you’d like to meet.
What Is a Pediatrician?
A pediatrician specializes in the health and development of children from birth through age 18 — well visits, immunizations, illness care, chronic condition management, developmental milestones, and behavioral and learning concerns.
At SOCPA, we see pediatric care as a long-term partnership with your family, built on trust that starts well before your child’s first appointment.
Hospital Privileges
SOCPA physicians round at three area hospitals: Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills, Hoag Hospital in Irvine, and CHOC at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo.
When you’re admitted for delivery, let the hospital staff know your pediatrician is with SOCPA.
After You’re Home
Once you’re discharged, call our office to get your newborn appointment on the books.
Bring your completed new patient forms, insurance card, and any discharge paperwork from the hospital, including your baby’s weight, length, head circumference, APGAR scores, and newborn screenings.
We look forward to being your family’s pediatric home for years to come.
