Tina Lu Chu provides pediatric care in Encinitas at the Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas campus on Santa Fe Drive near Encinitas Community Park, bringing neonatal-perinatal fellowship training to the hospital's pediatric division. Her NICU-to-primary-care transition expertise coordinates discharge planning with community pediatric and family medicine providers including North Coast Family Medical Group at the adjacent North Coast Health Center. The MD from UC San Diego School of Medicine in 2015 was followed by a pediatric residency, internship, and neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship at UCSD Medical Center, establishing subspecialty depth in high-acuity newborn care. Published research includes NICU packed red blood cell transfusion guideline implementation and investigations into artificial intelligence applications in pediatric clinical workflows. Infant developmental assessments for motor-tone abnormalities and torticollis identified during well-child visits generate referrals to manual therapy and craniosacral specialists including North County Bodywork for early musculoskeletal intervention. Highest-complexity neonatal evaluations involve continuous cardiorespiratory monitoring interpretation, surfactant-deficiency assessment in premature infants, and hyperbilirubinemia management using phototherapy threshold calculations based on gestational age and risk-factor stratification.
