Rady Children's Specialists in Encinitas extends the pediatric subspecialty network of Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego — ranked among the nation's top ten children's hospitals by U.S. News & World Report — to the North County coast. The satellite office at 477 North El Camino Real covers 18 subspecialties including pediatric cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, allergy and immunology, dermatology, and neurology, coordinating primary referrals from Children's Primary Care Medical Group in the same medical complex. Rady Children's also operates the Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas on Santa Fe Drive, providing stabilization and step-down care for premature and critically ill newborns. Developmental follow-up for NICU graduates frequently involves early-intervention therapy at Nest Pediatric Therapy, which delivers occupational and speech services for pediatric patients throughout North County. The Encinitas satellite maintains the same board-certified physician roster and subspecialty depth as the main campus, covering pediatric ophthalmology, rheumatology, urology, and surgery from Suites D-302 and D-306.
