Board-certified pediatrician Stanley Mendoza practices on the Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego campus at 4168 Front St, the Catholic medical center that has operated in Hillcrest since 1890. Scripps Mercy’s Level II NICU and maternity unit routes pediatric discharges into Children's Primary Care Medical Group Hillcrest and other 92103 pediatric offices for ongoing well-child follow-up. Well-child visits, immunization schedules following American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, and school physicals serve families in the downtown corridor feeding the hospital. Sick visits cover ear infections, strep throat, and routine upper respiratory illness for patients under 18. The Scripps Mercy pediatric discharge network overlaps with Perlman Pediatrics Hillcrest, with shared-patient handoffs flowing through the hospital's inpatient pediatric unit. Complex neonatal admissions and trauma-involved pediatric cases move into the Scripps Mercy Level I Trauma Center on the same campus.
