Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics Dr. Shakha Gillin in Encinitas has served North County families from the El Camino Real corridor since completing her residency at UC Irvine and chief residency at Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach. Well-child visits emphasizing active-lifestyle counseling and developmental milestone tracking coordinate with pediatric oral-health screening referrals to practices such as Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics for early orthodontic assessment. A UCSD School of Medicine graduate (1998), she earned San Diego Magazine's Top Doctor designation annually from 2006 through 2025 and founded the North County Pediatric Journal Club, a continuing-education forum for local pediatricians to discuss emerging clinical research. Sports-physical evaluations and growth-plate injury assessments for young athletes in the 92024 corridor connect to musculoskeletal rehabilitation resources, including BIOEVOLVE San Diego Orthobiologics and Sports Center for regenerative-medicine consultations. The practice performs rapid strep and influenza point-of-care testing, adolescent depression screening using the PHQ-A validated instrument, and in-office nebulizer treatments for acute bronchospasm episodes.
