Edinger Pediatrics

A CHOC Primary Care Practice

We know that you are the ultimate protector of your children’s health. At Edinger Pediatrics, our caring pediatricians partner with you to provide personalized care in a warm and friendly environment to help keep your children healthy every step of the way. Edinger Pediatrics’ mission is to provide the highest level of pediatric care possible, by putting our patients first and being involved in pediatric education, teaching and research. Being up to date on the latest medical education and technology allows us to offer painless tests, utilize specialized technology for monitoring difficult to treat illnesses (such as asthma), and perform many office procedures and tests. We have also spent years involved in FDA-sponsored vaccine research. We offer pediatric care for all children from birth through teens - including well checks, immunizations, sick visits, sports physicals, and more. Additionally, our medical office staff is well trained, child-friendly, and professional. Our providers see newborns at Orange Coast Memorial and Hoag Presbyterian Hospitals. We look forward to seeing your family to address all your pediatric needs.
