COVID-19 UPDATE:
As of today, due to the surge of COVID-19 in Los Angeles, our office will no longer be seeing sick visits until further notice. We will continue to see physical exams and non-contagious office visits as we have been doing. We will also try to accommodate telemedicine video visits when appropriate. This is for the safety of our patients, doctors and staff. Thank you for your understanding in this difficult time.

Closed for Thanksgiving Day

Important Reminder about Office Visits
Just a reminder about one of our new office policy that we instituted because of COVID-19:
Only one parent per child may come to the appointment once a child is over 2 months old.
This helps us keep the number of people in the office at one time to a minimum to ensure everyone’s safety.
In addition, please listen to voicemails from our office AND also please read the entire email we send when we confirm appointments. These contain important reminders about our office policies as well as screening questions.
Thank you for your understanding.

Sick Child Visits at La Peer Pediatrics
This is an update regarding our practice and our policy regarding illness visits. This week we have started seeing a very limited number of illness visits, by appointment only, at the end of the day (4 to 5 PM).
We are continuing to follow all CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of illness. We require that everyone over age 2 years wear a mask. We also limit the number of adults that may accompany a child to only one adult if a child is age 4 months or older.
Everyone in the office is asked to practice physical distancing and sanitize hands frequently. All doctors and staff are wearing masks, gowns, gloves, goggles or face shields to protect you and to protect ourselves.
Please call our office with any further questions: 310-652-5004
