About

Pediatric neurology for children with epilepsy and seizure disorders in San Diego is the clinical focus of Jong Won Yoo, MD at Kaiser Permanente's Vandever Medical Offices in Allied Gardens at 4405 Vandever Avenue, 92120. He earned his medical degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine in 2014 and completed residency training in pediatrics followed by subspecialty fellowship training in pediatric epilepsy. His clinical scope centers on electroencephalography interpretation, seizure classification, and long-term antiepileptic medication management for patients ranging from newborns through adolescents. The Vandever Avenue campus connects his neurology practice to Kaiser Permanente's broader pediatric infrastructure, which includes Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center on Zion Avenue in Allied Gardens for inpatient admissions and emergency neurological consultations. Beyond epilepsy, his diagnostic scope includes evaluation of speech and language delays with neurological origins, autism spectrum assessments requiring neuroimaging, and generalized tonic seizure management. Published research in pediatric epilepsy informs his treatment protocols, and his subspecialty training positions him as one of the few dedicated pediatric epileptologists within the Kaiser Southern California network serving the 92120 corridor. Families in Allied Gardens and the surrounding sub-communities of San Carlos and Del Cerro access the Vandever campus via the Interstate 8 corridor, placing the office within a ten-minute drive of most residential areas in the eastern San Diego neighborhoods. Pediatric neurology patients frequently require coordinated dental sedation planning, and families managing seizure disorders in this ZIP work with pediatric dental specialists such as BRSH+FLSS Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in San Carlos, which maintains sedation protocols adapted for children on anticonvulsant medications. The Vandever office accepts Kaiser Permanente HMO and Medi-Cal managed care plans, and the clinic operates within the same building as family medicine, pharmacy, and laboratory departments for consolidated visit scheduling.
