About

Julie Snyder Block, MD, at Scripps Coastal Medical Center in Encinitas provides pediatric care from the Santa Fe Drive campus, board-certified by the American Board of Pediatrics since 1997 following her MD from George Washington University School of Medicine (1994) and pediatrics residency at UCSD. Behavioral screening for anxiety, ADHD, and adolescent mood disorders during well-child visits generates referral pathways to child-focused therapists in the Encinitas network, including Dr. Lindsay O'Shea, Child, Teen, & Parent Psychologist for evidence-based cognitive-behavioral interventions. A certified lactation educator and former member of El Camino Pediatrics, she joined Scripps Coastal Medical Group when the North County pediatric practice — with over 40 years of community service — was formally acquired by Scripps Health, maintaining continuity at the North Coast Health Center on El Camino Real. Failure-to-thrive assessments and pediatric feeding-difficulty evaluations involve caloric-intake tracking and micronutrient-panel analysis, a diagnostic workflow that connects to nutritional-support providers such as Lively - Bioenergetic Healing for families pursuing complementary dietary guidance. The practice performs newborn metabolic screening panels, in-office circumcisions, and lactation consultations incorporating weighted pre- and post-feed measurements to quantify infant milk transfer during breastfeeding.
