Pediatric Sleep Center Team
Our sleep medicine team cares for babies, children and teens with all kinds of sleep problems, from snoring and sleep apnea to trouble falling or staying asleep. Our pediatric sleep physicians, nurse practitioner and behavioral sleep medicine specialist work together with your child’s other doctors to find the cause and build a treatment plan that fits your family. We see patients at our main campus in San Diego and at Sleep Services in Murrieta.
