Coast Pediatrics occupies 12845 Pointe Del Mar Way in Del Mar, CA 92014, providing pediatric primary care under the direction of co-founder Shakha Gillin, M.D., FAAP. Dr. Gillin earned both her undergraduate and medical degrees at UC San Diego, completed her pediatric residency at UC Irvine, and served as chief resident at Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach before establishing her practice in North County. She has been a fixture of San Diego's pediatric community since 1990 and has been repeatedly recognized in San Diego Magazine's Physicians of Exceptional Excellence annual survey, a peer-nominated honor conducted in collaboration with the San Diego County Medical Society. Coast Pediatrics is affiliated with both the Scripps Affiliated Medical Groups and the UC San Diego Health Physician Network, connecting families to a broader referral ecosystem for specialized care. Dr. Gillin's clinical emphasis on preventive health, particularly active lifestyles and mindful nutrition for children, has led her beyond traditional pediatrics. Along with her husband, Dr. Scott Gillin, a pediatric anesthesiologist, she launched The Warrior Clinic, which offers lab-based wellness monitoring focused on chronic disease markers. Her twin sister, Dr. Vishakha Gigler, is a board-certified dermatologist in Encinitas, and the two have been profiled together in Ranch & Coast Magazine for their shared approach to preventive medicine. Before joining Coast Pediatrics in its Del Mar and Carmel Valley locations, Dr. Gillin maintained a private practice in La Jolla and Encinitas, and worked in the emergency department at Rady Children's Hospital. The office is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with Saturday morning hours from 10 a.m. to noon. The Pointe Del Mar Way medical corridor is also home to board-certified dermatologist Deborah Atkin at Suite 160, one building over, making it easy for families to handle multiple medical appointments in a single trip. Families seeking mental health support for children in Del Mar also turn to nearby providers like Kids in Harmony, which specializes in child-focused therapeutic services.
