A Message to our Families: In the Event of an Acute Pediatric Illness

We are pleased to announce that South Bay Family Medical Group in affiliation with Torrance Memorial Medical Center and Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach., can  make available to our patients a group of Pediatric specialists who will care for your child, in the event of an acute pediatric illness.

These specially trained Pediatricians will provide consultative services to children seen in the emergency department who have been admitted to Torrance Memorial, as well as Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach.

What does this mean to you?

• If we recommend that your child be evaluated in an Emergency Department, we ask that you go to Torrance Memorial Medical Center at 3330 Lomita Blvd., in Torrance. This will allow for your child to be cared for by specially trained pediatricians (Drs. Maggi, Jenson and Han). 
• If we feel your child requires direct hospital admission, we may recommend and arrange for the admission by either: Dr. Jenson, Dr. Han or Dr. Maggi at Torrance Memorial.
   
• After your child is discharged from the hospital, we will continue to provide follow-up care in our office, but we will be in consultation with our Pediatric specialists.

We feel that having the back-up support of pediatricians trained in hospital and critical care medicine is an excellent addition to our practice.
