Well Child Visits
Comprehensive wellness exams track growth and development while addressing parental concerns. Our visits include age-appropriate screenings, immunizations, and nutrition guidance. We emphasize early detection of developmental delays through standardized assessments. Each appointment allows ample time for questions about safety, behavior, and school readiness. Our approach combines evidence-based medicine with personalized health education tailored to each family's needs.
Sick Child Visits
Same-day appointments for illness symptoms like fever, respiratory infections, and minor injuries. We diagnose and treat common childhood ailments while identifying when specialist care is needed. Our providers use point-of-care testing when necessary and offer clear treatment plans. We emphasize timely intervention to prevent complications while maintaining communication with families about home care strategies.
Telehealth Consultations
Secure video visits for non-urgent medical concerns accessible through our Anytime Telecare platform. Available for established patients with conditions like rashes, allergies, and mild illnesses. Our pediatricians review symptoms, provide diagnoses, and prescribe medications when appropriate. This service maintains continuity of care while offering flexibility for families unable to visit the office.
Developmental Screenings
Structured evaluations using Ages & Stages and MCHAT tools to identify developmental milestones and potential delays. Conducted during routine checkups for children aged 0-5 years. Includes discussion of social-emotional development, communication skills, and motor abilities. Early identification enables timely referrals to specialized services when needed.

We provide education about vaccine safety and maintain detailed records for school requirements. Our practice also offers catch-up schedules for children behind on vaccinations.

Report
I hadn't been to this office since 2018, I moved back into town and I scheduled an apt at 9:20 because I already had history with this office. I arrived at 9 filled out necessary paperwork and informed the staff I had another apt at 11 numerous times. I finally left the office at 10:48, missed my apt at 11 which was 30 minutes away. So now I've wasted much more time and my son has missed even more school because of the lack of urgency and communication with this office. Needless to say I will not be returning to this office and I'm reminded why I stopped going in the first place.

Absolutely love them! Both my son's go to Dr. McNulty since the day they were born. My oldest is now 5. I feel the doctors are very honest and straight to the point, no beating around the bush, which I really like. McNulty is also up on the latest research and is able to provide well educated answers. The staff is very friendly and my kids always feel safe going there. We have never had any billing problems. In fact they worked with me when we were in the process of changing insurance and we had no issues with the transition. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

Mia Bella Pediatrics is the best pediatric office in SoCal. I have been taking my two boys here for 6 years. You couldn't ask for a more caring and compassionate office with available same day visits and 24 hour on call Ped. Truly Dr. McNulty is the best child advocate you could ever wish for.

Decent doctors here, but the billing department is staffed by clowns. Services provided by Mia Bella were 100% covered by my insurance, but Mia Bella's billing dept. couldn't wrap their heads around how to properly submit their claim for payment from my insurance. Instead they harassed me for months telling me I had to pay, even though I have written statements from my insurance company telling their office that they cannot bill me for those services.
Now they have passed the buck on to a debt collection agency rather than do their own jobs. Unless you have some pretty easy paint-by-numbers insurance, you should expect some problems with Mia Bella.

We love it here at Mia Bella. Everyone is kind, knowledgeable, and honest. We have seen all of the doctors here and each one was wonderful. We have taken our 2 year old daughter here since the day after her birth. It has been nothing but great in every way.
