About

Children's Primary Care Medical Group in Encinitas operates the CPCMG network's North County office at 499 North El Camino Real, serving as San Diego's largest pediatric primary care group since its 1995 founding. The AAAHC-accredited practice covers birth-through-age-eighteen care including well-child visits, newborn evaluations, immunization schedules, and developmental screening, with pediatric dental referrals coordinated through Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics for first-visit and orthodontic assessments. Six board-certified pediatricians staff the Encinitas location across the CPCMG and UC San Diego Health physician network, a 2022 affiliation that expanded referral access to Rady Children's Hospital subspecialists. Behavioral health consultations for ADHD, oppositional defiance, and adolescent anxiety connect families to community providers at Encinitas Child Therapist Laura McDaniel LMFT for ongoing cognitive-behavioral and family therapy protocols. The highest-acuity triage protocols include point-of-care rapid strep and influenza antigen testing, pulse oximetry screening for critical congenital heart disease in newborns, and same-day sick-visit slots with after-hours registered nurse telephone triage across 28 regional offices.
