Neonatologist Howard A. Schneider provides intensive-care medicine for newborns in Allied Gardens, San Diego, at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center, Room 2145, 4647 Zion Avenue, 92120. He earned his MD from the University of Connecticut Health Center in 1976, completed a pediatrics residency at the University of Chicago from 1976 to 1979, and finished a neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship at UC San Diego Medical Center from 1979 to 1981. Perinatal coordination for complicated pregnancies at Kaiser Zion often involves maternal-fetal medicine specialists such as Parvin Mani, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., whose OB-GYN practice in Allied Gardens manages the antepartum monitoring that feeds into Dr. Schneider's neonatal assessment at delivery. He holds board certification in neonatal-perinatal medicine, a credential that requires demonstrated competency in ventilator management, surfactant therapy, and hemodynamic monitoring of premature and critically ill newborns. His 49 years of practice make him one of San Diego's longest-serving neonatologists, with a career that spans the evolution of NICU technology from manual ventilation protocols to modern high-frequency oscillatory ventilation systems. His clinical scope extends across neonatology, obstetrics and gynecology, and general pediatrics, meaning he participates in high-risk delivery planning alongside the obstetric team before a patient reaches the NICU. Infants who graduate from the NICU transition into outpatient pediatric follow-up through practices such as Children's Primary Care Medical Group Alvarado in Grantville, which tracks developmental milestones, growth curves, and immunization schedules for former preterm patients. The Allied Gardens campus sits along the Waring Road medical corridor near Interstate 8, placing the NICU within ambulance range of the broader east San Diego delivery network.
