LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., July 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PM Pediatrics, the nation's largest provider of specialized pediatric urgent care, announced that it will open its first West Coast location in Los Angeles, CA this Fall. The future home of PM Pediatrics of Los Angeles at 8731 Pico Blvd will join the company's over 30 existing locations throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Dr. Joshua Sherman has been named Medical Director of the new practice. He will also serve as the Regional Medical Director in the Los Angeles region, leading the development of future sites, ensuring consistency and excellence, overseeing clinical operations, quality initiatives, education and training.

PM Pediatrics of Los Angeles will be open 365 days a year, from Noon to Midnight. The state-of-the-art practice is staffed by Pediatric Emergency Specialists, including board-certified pediatric emergency physicians and pediatricians, and features onsite digital x-ray and lab.
