About

For board-certified pediatric care in Chula Vista's Eastlake area, Ricardo A. Indacochea, MD treats patients through Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch at 1400 East Palomar Street, holding a medical degree from the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine earned in 2008. His well-child visit protocols integrate oral-health milestone tracking with coordinated dental referrals, routing age-appropriate patients to pediatric dental providers including Coastal Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics - Eastlake for first-visit evaluations and orthodontic readiness assessments. Hospital affiliations span Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego and Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, and his participation in Sharp's Climate and Planetary Health Committee reflects an active role in addressing the intersection of environmental factors and pediatric health outcomes. The Eastlake Palomar Street campus houses the expanded Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch medical center, offering under-one-roof access to advanced imaging, pediatric rehabilitation, dermatology, ENT, audiology, and oncology services alongside his pediatric practice on Floor 2. Developmental delay evaluations and sports-injury assessments for Eastlake's youth athletes feed post-diagnosis rehabilitation referrals to PT in Motion for age-appropriate physical therapy programming aligned with the pediatric growth timeline. Highest-complexity encounters include multi-system developmental workups for failure-to-thrive presentations requiring concurrent endocrine panel analysis, celiac disease serology, and coordinated pediatric gastroenterology referrals through the Sharp subspecialty network.
