Meet the Team
CHOC Center for Children’s Health – Primary Care is unlike any other pediatric practice in Orange County, and that starts with who’s behind it. Our pediatricians come from both Rady Children’s Health and UCI Health, practicing together under one roof at the Joe C. Wen & Family Center for Advanced Care, a new facility that opened in April 2024.
For qualifying patients, radiology, labs, rehabilitation, and specialty services are available in the same building, leading to fewer trips, less coordination, and more peace of mind.

“Starting from your newborn visit and all the way into young adulthood, I will focus on building a long-term relationship and trust with you. My holistic approach will not only provide excellent medical care, but also emphasize a strong foundation for mental health.”

Dr. Laura E. Petrovich, Pediatrics
“I enjoy watching my patients grow and forming strong bonds with my patients and their families.”
