Board-certified pediatrician Raquel Rissman, MD trained at Drexel University College of Medicine after an undergraduate degree at UC San Diego, and practices with Children's Healthcare Medical Associates from 550 Washington St Suite 300 at the Hillcrest-Mission Hills medical boundary. Pediatric vision screenings that catch amblyopia, strabismus, or unexplained headaches in school-age kids route to optometry partners including Vision Specialists of California for follow-up refraction and dilated exams. Her hospital affiliations span Rady Children's Hospital, Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns, Sharp Memorial, and Scripps Mercy, which means newborn visits here can originate from the delivery wards of any of those campuses. Post-concussion and sports-injury return-to-play clearances move between the pediatric exam room and rehab partners such as Mission Valley Rehabilitation Center, which carries pediatric PT protocols for adolescents coming back from ACL reconstructions and wrist fractures. Dr. Rissman carries published emergency-medicine research on nebulized epinephrine versus albuterol in pediatric bronchiolitis, anchoring the evidence-based approach the office brings to winter respiratory season visits and complex asthma-bronchiolitis overlap cases.
