Children’s Primary Care Medical Group Arrives in 4S Ranch

Posted on September 1, 2012

You watched as they built it, and soon you’ll be able to walk through its doors. The beautiful new medical building at the corner of Camino del Norte and Dove Canyon Road will soon be home to the Children’s Primary Care Medical Group, scheduled to open October 2012. CPCMG’s 87 doctors, who are focused solely on pediatric care, practice at 19 medical sites throughout San Diego and southern Riverside counties. The 4S Ranch location will be the 20th, led by award-winning doctor Jaime Friedman.

Dr. Tom Page, CPCMG’s President, expects the long-awaited center to be a welcome addition to the neighborhood. “Our doctors are truly a part of the 4S Ranch community,” commented Page. “Also, our strong affiliation with Rady Children’s Hospital and the Children’s specialists makes us stand out from all other medical groups. From the front desk to the doctor’s visit, CPCMG’s atmosphere is kid-friendly, while providing high-quality care and outstanding customer service on all levels.”

The pediatricians of CPCMG are wholly committed to the care of infants, children, and teens. In addition to their substantial medical training, they take additional coursework in pediatric care so that they are uniquely qualified to address the specific needs of children.

The group is also poised to save busy parents time through the use of electronic health records (EHR) that are shared with the hospital and Rady Children’s. “Another function of EHR is ‘My Chart,’” explained Page, “a portal for parents to login and manage appointments, check test results, communicate with their doctor and request prescription refills.” The 4S location will also pilot a program that texts patients when the doctor is running behind.

The medical group accepts most indemnity, PPO, Medi-Cal, and HMO plans. The welcome center can be reached at (858) 502-1177.

Named “Top Doctor” by San Diego Magazine eight years in a row, Dr. Jaime Friedman is delighted to be coming to the 4S CPCMG as Lead Doctor. “I have lived close to 92127 since I moved to San Diego in 2002 and I have wanted my friends and neighbors to have an opportunity to bring their children to see me,” said Friedman. “Now they can!”
Friedman has big plans for the 4S location, including regularly-scheduled hikes on local trails and classes on a wide variety of topics.
“Like many pediatricians, I use my own experiences as a mom to draw on,” added Friedman. But she doesn’t stop there. “I have taken extra time and effort to research areas that are important to parents but that don’t always come up in training, [including] lactation, sleep, behavior, and literacy. I have also made living in a non-toxic environment a personal crusade.” Friedman is eager to share what she’s learned with her patients.
