Doctors at San Gabriel Pediatrics

Dr. Doris Hossalla started San Gabriel Pediatrics. In fact, when she started her clinic here in 1983, she was the first pediatrician in Georgetown. They welcomed her into the medical community and into the town. She has happily made it her home. You see her at San Gabriel Pediatrics with her red stethoscope.


	We did not accidentally become pediatricians. We made a conscious and dedicated choice early in life to become doctors. Then we spent many years in school. After becoming a doctor, we spent three extra years becoming pediatricians. When you visit San Gabriel Pediatrics, we want you to have as pleasant as experience as possible. Our staff at the front desk prides itself on efficient, courteous service. We strive to provide you with al positive experience.
