Neonatal medicine specialist Sandra Lawrynowicz Leibel practices in Encinitas from the Scripps Memorial Hospital campus on Santa Fe Drive, providing subspecialty care for premature and medically complex newborns. The neonatology caseload includes respiratory distress syndrome management, surfactant therapy, and phototherapy for neonatal jaundice — conditions that often require ongoing developmental monitoring through El Camino Pediatric Med Group once infants transition out of intensive care. Leibel's practice operates within the broader Scripps neonatal infrastructure, which includes the hospital's Level II NICU staffed for stabilization and intermediate-level care. NICU graduates with motor-delay or feeding concerns are commonly referred to Moving Munchkins Pediatric Physical Therapy for milestone-targeted rehabilitation and neurodevelopmental follow-up. The practice accepts referrals for high-risk deliveries, late-preterm complications, and post-discharge neonatal follow-up from obstetricians and pediatricians across North County.
