10 Reasons Parents in Los Angeles Choose Dr. Sabeti for Concierge Pediatrics

Being a parent in Los Angeles is an amazing adventure, but let’s be honest—it comes with its own set of unique challenges. Between navigating the infamous 405 traffic, managing demanding school schedules, and trying to maintain a healthy work-life balance, your time is incredibly valuable. As a pediatrician, I have seen firsthand how the traditional healthcare model often adds stress to an already busy life. That is exactly why I decided to change the way I practice medicine.

I believe that healthcare should fit into your life, not the other way around. This belief led me to establish my practice in concierge pediatrics Los Angeles families rely on. When you choose me, Dr. Anita Sabeti, you aren’t just getting a doctor; you are getting a partner in your child’s health journey. I want to share the top 10 reasons why so many discerning parents in our community are making the switch to my concierge model and why it might be the perfect fit for your family too.

1. Direct Access to Me, 24/7

Imagine it is 2:00 AM. Your toddler has woken up with a barking cough that sounds scary, or perhaps your teenager has a high fever that won’t break. In a traditional medical setting, your only options are usually an automated answering service, a nurse advice line that can’t diagnose you, or a stressful trip to the Emergency Room. That is a helpless feeling that no parent wants to experience.

In my practice, things are different. When you join my concierge family, you get my personal cell phone number. You don’t speak to a call center; you speak to me. Whether it is a text message to ask about a weird rash or a phone call in the middle of the night, I am directly available to you. This level of access provides immense relief. You get answers immediately from the doctor who knows your child best, often saving you from unnecessary panic or trips to urgent care.

2. House Calls: Skipping the Los Angeles Traffic

We all live in LA, so we all know the nightmare of traffic. Now, imagine being stuck in that traffic with a sick, crying child in the backseat, worried that you are going to be late for your appointment. It adds a layer of anxiety that simply isn’t necessary. One of the primary features of concierge pediatrics Los Angeles parents love most is the house call.

I bring the clinic to you. Whether you are in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, or the surrounding areas, I come to your home. This means your sick child can stay in their comfortable bed, in their pajamas, while I conduct the exam. It is less traumatic for the child and infinitely more convenient for the parents. No packing diaper bags, no fighting traffic, and no waiting in a lobby. This service transforms a stressful sick day into a manageable situation.

3. Unrushed, Extended Appointments

In the standard insurance-based model, doctors are often forced to see 25 to 30 patients a day. This usually results in appointments that last only 10 to 15 minutes. By the time you ask your second question, the doctor often has one hand on the door handle. It is not their fault; it is just how the system is built.

I operate differently. My appointments are scheduled for 30 to 60 minutes, or even longer if needed. I deliberately keep my patient panel small so that I have the time to sit down and really talk with you. We can discuss nutrition, sleep habits, behavioral issues, and developmental milestones in depth. I never want you to feel rushed. Good healthcare requires time to listen, observe, and explain, and that is exactly what I prioritize.

4. No Waiting Rooms Means Fewer Germs

There is a sad irony in traditional pediatric offices: you go there to get healthy, but you often have to sit in a waiting room surrounded by other sick children. For a newborn baby or an immunocompromised child, a waiting room can be a dangerous place. Even for a healthy child, catching a stomach bug while waiting for a flu shot is a frustrating possibility.

Because I offer house calls and manage my schedule with ample buffer time, my patients do not spend time in waiting rooms. This significantly reduces your child’s exposure to contagious illnesses. In the rare event you come to my office, you are seen immediately. This “no-wait” policy is a cornerstone of keeping your family safe and healthy.

5. Comprehensive Preventative Care

Pediatrics is not just about fixing things when they go wrong; it is about building a foundation for a healthy life. In a high-volume practice, wellness checks often become a quick checklist: height, weight, vaccines, goodbye. While those things are important, true preventative care goes much deeper.

I focus heavily on the “whole child.” We discuss emotional well-being, school performance, and stress management. I have the time to screen for subtle issues that might be missed in a rushed appointment. By being proactive rather than reactive, we can catch potential issues early—whether it is a vision problem or anxiety—and address them before they become major hurdles. My goal is to help your child thrive, not just survive.

6. A Strong, Personal Relationship

When you choose concierge pediatrics Los Angeles families trust, you are choosing continuity of care. In large group practices, you might see a different doctor every time you visit. This means you have to repeat your child’s history over and over, and the doctor may not notice subtle changes in your child’s health.

I am your dedicated pediatrician. I will know your child’s name, their favorite dinosaur, and their medical history by heart. I know your family dynamics and your parenting style. This deep relationship allows me to provide better care because I understand the context of your child’s life. When a child trusts their doctor, they are less afraid of exams and more open to communicating how they feel. This bond is invaluable.

7. Expert Coordination with Specialists

Los Angeles is home to some of the best medical specialists in the world. However, navigating the healthcare system to find the right specialist can be overwhelming. If your child needs to see a dermatologist, a cardiologist, or an allergist, you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.

As your concierge pediatrician, I act as the quarterback for your child’s medical team. I have an extensive network of top-tier specialists in LA whom I know and trust. I don’t just hand you a referral slip; I can call the specialist directly to discuss your case, ensure you get an appointment sooner, and follow up to make sure we are all on the same page. I help translate complex specialist jargon into plain English so you understand exactly what is going on.

8. Support for New Parents

Bringing a new baby home is one of the most beautiful, yet terrifying, experiences in life. First-time parents often have a million questions: Is this latch correct? Is this poop color normal? Why won’t the baby sleep? In a traditional setting, you might have to wait weeks for your next appointment to ask these questions.

I offer intense support for newborns and their parents. This includes home visits right after discharge from the hospital. I am there to support you with breastfeeding, sleep training advice, and reassurance. Having a doctor visit you in the comfort of your home during those sleep-deprived first weeks is a game-changer. It allows you to recover and bond with your baby without the stress of leaving the house.

9. Telemedicine for Modern Convenience

While I love seeing my patients in person, I also know that sometimes a quick video call is all that is needed. Technology is a wonderful tool when used correctly. If you are on vacation or simply stuck at work, we can hop on a secure video call to assess the situation.

This is part of the concierge pediatrics Los Angeles experience—using modern tools to make your life easier. I can look at a rash, observe breathing patterns, or discuss behavioral concerns virtually. If a prescription is needed, I can send it to your pharmacy immediately. This flexibility ensures that your child’s care continues seamlessly, no matter where you are.

10. Peace of Mind: The Ultimate Benefit

Ultimately, all the reasons listed above lead to one major benefit: peace of mind. Parenting is full of unknowns, but your pediatrician shouldn’t be one of them. Knowing that you have a board-certified expert in your pocket, ready to help at a moment’s notice, reduces the anxiety that naturally comes with raising children.

You can sleep better at night knowing that if an emergency strikes, you are not alone. You have an advocate, a guide, and a medical expert who cares about your child almost as much as you do. This peace of mind is what parents tell me is the most valuable part of their membership.

Investing in Your Child’s Future

I often hear parents say that joining my practice was the best investment they made for their family. It is not just about treating ear infections or administering vaccines; it is about creating a philosophy of health that lasts a lifetime. In a city as bustling as Los Angeles, having a calm, reliable medical home is essential.

I treat every child in my practice as if they were my own family member. I worry about them, I cheer for their milestones, and I am there to catch them when they fall. The concierge model allows me to return to the roots of medicine—where the relationship between the doctor and the patient is sacred and unhurried.

If you are looking for more information on the benefits of personalized care and developmental tracking, I recommend reading resources from the American Academy of Pediatrics. They offer excellent guidance on what to look for in quality pediatric care.

Choosing a pediatrician is a big decision. If you are tired of the assembly-line approach to medicine and want a doctor who truly understands the needs of Los Angeles families, I invite you to reach out. Let’s discuss how I can support your family with the compassionate, high-level care you deserve. Your child’s health is my priority, and I would be honored to be part of your village.
