About

Developmental pediatrics practice at 8950 Villa La Jolla Dr, Suite B204, La Jolla, CA 92037, sharing the B-wing suite with Hillcrest Psychological Associates — a co-tenancy pairing developmental evaluation with psychological services at one B204 address. La Jolla Developmental Pediatrics serves children with neurodevelopmental concerns including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, developmental delays, and learning disorders. The practice's categorization under Mental Health reflects the diagnostic overlap between developmental pediatrics and child psychiatry. The 8950 building's C-wing houses the UCSD Health Psychiatry department in Suite C101 with its own pediatric-trained faculty, but La Jolla Developmental Pediatrics' B-wing location offers families a non-institutional alternative within the same complex. Brain Spectrum Neuropsychology on Prospect St — where Dr. Elisabeth Thurlow runs ADOS-2-certified autism evaluations — provides the gold-standard diagnostic testing that developmental pediatricians use to confirm or refine their clinical impressions.
