San Diego Neonatology, Inc., an independent physician practice, is committed to treating patients, families, professional colleagues, and employees with deep respect and compassion while providing state-of-the-art medical management to neonates entrusted to our care throughout San Diego County.
We provide intensive care to premature, low birth weight, and critically-ill infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). These NICUs are staffed 24 hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week by our experienced neonatologists. Our dedicated clinicians work in Level I, Level II, and Level III NICUs. Our neonatologists provide coordinated care with obstetricians and maternal-fetal medicine specialists for expectant mothers with complicated pregnancies whose babies are often admitted to the NICU upon delivery. We believe continuity of treatment from mother and developing fetus, during pregnancy to the newborn upon delivery, has improved the clinical outcomes of our patients.
