Pomona Pediatrics has a long affiliation
with Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center and maintains that association because of the high
quality of the facility's inpatient pediatric care supported by inpatient
pediatric specialists and its excellent neonatology unit staffed by specialists
in neonatal care.
Over the years, our practice has grown and
currently includes seven pediatricians.
