Coast Pediatrics Del Mar, led by Dr. Lori Taylor, MD, FAAP, provides personalized pediatric care from 12845 Pointe Del Mar Way in Del Mar, CA 92014. Dr. Taylor completed her undergraduate education at USC, earned her medical degree at UCSD, and finished her pediatric residency at UCSD Medical Center-Hillcrest in 1997. She spent nearly a decade on the UCSD faculty pursuing research in multicultural medicine and early childhood education before joining a large North County pediatric group. San Diego Magazine has repeatedly recognized her as a Top Doctor in their annual Physicians of Exceptional Excellence rankings, including years 2003 through 2005, 2010, and 2013 through 2022. Dr. Taylor is affiliated with both Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and Rady Children's Hospital San Diego, and the practice is part of the Scripps Affiliated Medical Groups and UC San Diego Health Physician Network. Families seeking a different pediatric philosophy can explore Integrative Pediatrics of Del Mar on 14th Street, where Dr. Lisa Loegering takes a functional-medicine approach to children's developmental and behavioral health. Coast Pediatrics deliberately keeps its patient volume low to prioritize long-term relationships with families and ensure continuity with the same physician. The practice team includes fellow pediatricians Dr. Shakha Gillin and Dr. Robert Warner. In 2010, Dr. Taylor moved with her family to New Zealand before returning to San Diego in 2011 to launch Coast Pediatrics, the kind of practice she had always envisioned — one small enough to truly know each child.
