Do you see newborns?

Yes. Dr. Allevato cares for children from birth. If you’re expecting, we encourage you to reach out before your baby arrives to establish care and ask any questions you have for those first weeks.

What is the Early Start Program?

Allevato Pediatrics offers support and services through the Early Start Program, which provides resources for infants and toddlers from birth to 36 months and their families. Please contact our office for more details on how we can support your child’s early development.

Do you still follow traditional vaccination guidelines?

Yes — absolutely and without exception. Our practice follows the vaccination schedule set by the AAP. These guidelines are developed by some of the world’s leading pediatric health experts and are based on decades of scientific research.

We want to be transparent about this: our commitment to the recommended vaccine schedule is not political. It is medical. Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied interventions in the history of medicine, and the schedule is carefully designed to protect children at the ages when they are most vulnerable.

We also understand that in today’s world, it can be hard to know who or what to trust. If you have questions, doubts, or things you’ve read or heard that concern you, we genuinely want to hear them. Our door is open for those conversations — always kindly, always without judgment. Your child’s safety is our shared goal.

What do I do if my child gets sick after hours?

We partner with Rady Children’s Health to offer several options when our office is closed:

• 24/7 Nurse Advice Line: Call 1-844-GET-CHOC for free, round-the-clock guidance from pediatric healthcare experts. This line can also connect you to a virtual physician visit when needed.
• Pediatric Urgent Care: For non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that need in-person evaluation, Rady Children’s Health has urgent care locations available in Irvine and Orange.
• Emergency: If your child is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately. See our pediatric emergency departments here.

See our After-Hours Care page for locations and details.

When should I use urgent care vs. the emergency room?

Urgent care is appropriate for non-life-threatening situations such as:

• Ear infections, sore throats, or minor infections
• Minor cuts, sprains, or injuries
• Fever in children over 3 months who are otherwise stable
• Vomiting or diarrhea without signs of severe dehydration

Go to the ER or call 911 for situations such as:

• Difficulty breathing or turning blue
• Seizures or loss of consciousness
• Severe allergic reactions
• Head injuries with confusion or repeated vomiting
• Any fever in a baby under 3 months old
