About

Ron Newfield, MD is a board-certified pediatric endocrinologist in Encinitas who holds a clinical professor appointment in pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine and practices through Rady Children's Specialists at the North Coast Health Center on El Camino Real. His subspecialty in thyroid disorders, adrenal conditions, and pediatric diabetes management runs parallel to the adult endocrine care coordinated by San Diego Coastal Endocrinology for patients transitioning out of pediatric care. The MD earned at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in 1989 was followed by a pediatric residency at Schneider Children's Hospital of Long Island Jewish Medical Center and an endocrinology fellowship at New York Hospital-Cornell Weill College. Active research interests include congenital adrenal hyperplasia, pediatric thyroid cancer, type 1 diabetes prevention, and gender-affirming hormone therapy for transgender youth, with peer-reviewed publications spanning multiple national ophthalmological and endocrinology journals. Pediatric patients presenting with allergy-driven endocrine disruptions share a diagnostic overlap with the immunotherapy evaluations at Allergy & Asthma Medical Group in the same North County referral corridor. Highest-complexity cases involve insulin pump titration with continuous glucose monitoring integration for pediatric type 1 diabetes and fine-needle aspiration cytology staging for pediatric thyroid nodules classified under the Bethesda system.
