Board-certified pediatrician Shaun Berger, MD, provides newborn-through-adolescent primary care from the Scripps Clinic Rancho San Diego office in La Mesa's Casa de Oro area on Calle Verde. His dual board certification in pediatrics and sports medicine distinguishes the practice from general pediatric offices, covering athletic injury assessment alongside routine well-child visits — a clinical scope shared with referral partners like SmallTalk Pediatric Therapy for developmental and speech-language evaluations. A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine (class of 1995) who completed his pediatric residency at UC San Francisco/Fresno, he holds hospital affiliations with both Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla. The practice emphasizes evidence-based preventive care and vaccination completion by age two, aligning with Scripps Clinic Medical Group's department-wide immunization initiative, and coordinates musculoskeletal rehabilitation through Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Center for sports-related injuries in adolescent athletes. Consultations are conducted in both English and Spanish, with telehealth and in-person options available through the Scripps patient portal.
