About

For pediatric care on Chula Vista's Third Avenue, Violeta Curbelo, MD holds American Board of Pediatrics certification backed by a residency completed at UC San Diego Medical Center between 1979 and 1982. The practice treats patients from birth through age 19 with in-office audiometric screening and same-day walk-in availability, offering developmental monitoring that dovetails with the early-childhood dental programs at Chula Vista Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Curbelo earned her medical degree from the Universidad de la República in Montevideo in 1972 and holds hospital affiliations with Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista, and Rady Children's Hospital San Diego. As part of Children's Primary Care Medical Group, the Third Avenue office integrates multi-provider pediatric coverage with subspecialty referral access, including neurodevelopmental assessments coordinated through The Neuron Clinic for complex behavioral and cognitive evaluations. Published research contributions include neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage detection via fontanelle ultrasound and fetal lung maturity indexing through amniotic fluid lecithin analysis, peer-reviewed work from a clinical career that began with her 1972 medical degree.
