About

Bina Adigopula, MD opened Grossmont Pediatrics as a private practice on University Avenue in La Mesa in 1996, building a pediatric care program that now covers birth through age 19 with board certification from the American Board of Pediatrics and FAAP fellowship status. The practice coordinates preventive care milestones with dental developmental screening, routing pediatric patients to oral health providers in the Grossmont area including Espire Dental | Jeff Gray DDS for first-visit assessments aligned with AAP guidelines. Delhi University College of Medical Sciences (Class of 1983) provided the medical foundation, followed by residencies at Westchester Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital before California practice began at Scripps Chula Vista. Active staff privileges at both Sharp Grossmont Hospital and Rady Children's Hospital include Nursery, NICU, and Pediatrics admitting authority, enabling same-day inpatient transfers when outpatient evaluation reveals acute decompensation. ADD/ADHD diagnostic evaluation and behavioral intervention planning represent a high-volume service line, with complex cases referred to behavioral health specialists including Positive Change Counseling Center for structured psychotherapy integration. The practice specializes in neonatal circumcision (patients under three weeks), adolescent reproductive health counseling, and obesity-intervention nutrition planning using BMI-for-age percentile tracking and family-based dietary modification protocols.
