Independent pediatric practice since 1986, San Diego Uptown Pediatrics Medical Group runs from 3500 Fifth Avenue Suite 101 in Hillcrest 92103 under physicians Dr. Hilary Krause, Dr. Jenny Clifford, and Dr. Kaivan Dadachanji. Clinical scope covers newborn-to-adolescent primary care — well-child exams following the AAP Bright Futures schedule, immunizations on the CDC-recommended vaccine calendar, sports physicals, ADHD management, and acute sick visits — while subspecialty cases route to Children's Healthcare Pediatric Endocrinology for growth-hormone, thyroid, and type-1 diabetes workups. Staying deliberately small lets the three physicians know siblings and parents across multiple children rather than operating panels of thousands. The after-hours call line connects families directly to a practice physician rather than a triage service, a staffing choice that distinguishes independent pediatric offices from hospital-owned groups. School-age dental and orthodontic referrals route across Fifth Avenue to Milberg Orthodontics when early interceptive treatment or full braces become age-appropriate. The most complex cases coordinate medically fragile children across multiple pediatric subspecialists, keeping the primary pediatrician as the quarterback of care plans involving endocrinology, cardiology, and developmental therapy.
