Dr. Anna Mendenhall MD FAAP in Encinitas holds American Board of Pediatrics certification earned in 1999 following a cum laude degree from Ohio State University College of Medicine and residency at UC San Diego Medical Center. As a partner at CPCMG and volunteer faculty member at UCSD School of Medicine, the practice manages higher-acuity cases including atelectasis, spinal muscular atrophy, and chronic lung disease in infants, with adult-care transitions coordinated through primary care physicians at Dr. Perry W. Sexton MD's practice for adolescents aging out of pediatric coverage. Bilingual clinical consultations in English and Spanish serve the Encinitas and Carmel Valley CPCMG locations within the UC San Diego Health network. Neuromuscular and pulmonary rehabilitation referrals for patients with congenital or acquired mobility limitations connect to specialized providers at Bespoke Physical Therapy Encinitas for individualized gross-motor and respiratory strengthening protocols. The highest-complexity cases involve coordinating multi-specialist care plans for infants requiring home ventilator management, pulse oximetry telemonitoring, and serial chest CT imaging to track bronchopulmonary dysplasia progression across the first three years of life.
