Coast Pediatrics
Children’s Primary Care Medical Group
Coast Pediatrics takes a refreshingly personal approach to caring for San Diego’s youngest patients. With intentionally small practices in Del Mar, Carmel Valley, and 4S Ranch, its pediatricians prioritize continuity of care, giving families the opportunity to see their child’s own physician whenever possible and build relationships that grow from infancy through adolescence. Same-day access, experienced physicians, and an emphasis on truly getting to know each child and family have helped Coast Pediatrics earn parents’ trust — and made the practice an ongoing readers’ favorite for Best Pediatrician. coastpediatrics.com M.P.

Editor’s Pick, For All Creatures Great and Small: San Diego Humane Society
Our family is proud to call three San Diego Humane Society alumni our own, each one hailing from a different SDHS campus (there are five: San Diego, Escondido, El Cajon, Oceanside, and Ramona). Not only is it an incredible place to find your next family member, the organization — San Diego’s oldest nonprofit, notably — also provides wild animal care and a spectrum of other services. Recently reported to be at 171 percent capacity for dogs, there’s never been a better time to find the next love of your life, just like we have. (See page 66 for some current top candidates.) sdhumane.org D.M.
