Welcome!
This is the pediatric practice of Drs. Daphne and Paul Horowitz in Santa Clarita. We have created a very different sort of pediatric experience. We want to get back to the reason we went into medicine to begin with; to deliver care to our patients and treat them like family. Discovery Pediatrics delivers accessible, top quality care, with an emphasis on service and trust. Our welcoming staff, warm, cozy but professional environment, and higher-than-expected level of service distinguish us from all other practices. Discovery Pediatrics values your time and genuinely cares about your family’s health. That’s what we are known for—our sincere commitment to you.
We have small "well" and "sick" reception rooms (nobody should expect to wait, so we don't call them waiting rooms). We don't have receptionists to get in the way between you and us either. Our team members work in both the front and back office; so the chances are good that the person who answers the phone is the same person who took your child's vitals, or gave her vaccines....
Discovery Pediatrics is a unique practice; there is a fee to cover costs that are not normally paid by traditional insurance. We also bill insurance in the same way a traditional office bills insurance companies. Our practice limits the number of children enrolled, in order to provide superior service.

PERTUSSIS OUTBREAK:
California is experiencing an outbreak of pertussis, the cause of whooping cough. All individuals in close contact with young children should be vaccinated. We will vaccinate parents of our patients. Newborns are on a fast-track for immunization as well. Please call our office for more information.
3/22/2010 ROTAVIRUS VACCINE:
The FDA has put a hold on the use of a certain brand of Rotavirus Vaccine. Rotarix is the name of that brand, and we have never used that brand of the vaccine in our office. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
