Encino Pediatrician
About Us
If you're looking for an Encino pediatrician, look no further than Balboa Pediatrics. We've been caring for children since 1987, from birth through young adulthood. Our board-certified physicians look at the whole picture: not just what's happening in the exam room, but everything that shapes a child's health and development. Family life, friendships, school, nutrition, activities — it all matters to us.
Every family in our practice has one dedicated pediatrician: your doctor and your child's doctor. Over time, that relationship grows into something truly valuable, which is real, lasting trust. Your pediatrician personally handles most visits and calls, supported by a team that knows your family by name. Many of our staff members have been with us for more than a decade, and we believe that consistency makes a real difference in your child's care.
We're grateful to every Encino family who has trusted us to be part of their child's life, and we look forward to caring for yours.

Services
Child Behavior
From tantrums and sleep struggles to focus issues and school challenges, every child goes through phases that can leave parents with questions. As your Encino pediatrician, Balboa Pediatrics offers
behavioral health management as part of our comprehensive care, along with a
Child Behavior resource page full of peer-reviewed medical content, parenting advice, and guidance on development. It's a great first stop when something feels off. For follow-up conversations about behavior or ADHD medication checks, telehealth visits make it easy to connect with your doctor from home. And whenever you need support, we're just a phone call away.
What's Going Around?
Wondering whether that cough or fever is part of something bigger? Our
What's Going Around? page keeps Encino families up to date on the illnesses our pediatricians are currently seeing, so you can spot symptoms early and know what to watch for. Pair it with our
Is Your Child Sick?® symptom checker to learn about common concerns and home care tips. If your child does need to be seen, we offer same-day sick visits and will do our best to fit you into the schedule so your little one can start feeling better sooner.
Nutrition
Good nutrition lays the foundation for healthy growth, energy, and learning, and it's a key part of how we care for the whole child. Our pediatricians talk with families about healthy eating at every well visit, from introducing solids to managing picky eaters to building balanced habits in the teen years. Our
Nutrition resource library offers trusted, expert guidance you can explore anytime at home. Have a quick question about your child's diet or eating habits? Telehealth nutrition counseling lets you get personalized advice from your pediatrician without an office visit.
