Welcome to My Health Information Web Site for Infants, Children, Adolescents
I updated all my pages on 5/2/2024. In addition to my Search feature, I developed 2 AI generated Chatbots and link them on my website to help you find answers to your questions quickly and accurately. One is called Pediatric Insights.*
*You will need to register on Open AI to use it at this time, and I receive no monies from this technology service. MMS
I believe all my patients should have access to useful health information. I provide this website to help you obtain information about your children when I am not available – 24 hours a day, every day. If you have any suggestions about this Web site, please contact the office at 559.538.3070. Hours: M, T, W, Th, F 8:00-5
Retirement
I retired January 8, 2019. This website will continue on, providing useful information for families and interested parties looking at health information for children. Patient records are available for families through Magnolia Pediatrics or Valley Children’s Healthcare, but I encourage you to stay. It has been an honor and pleasure helping your children and families since 1980 in Clovis. Please say or wave, “Hi,” if you see me out-and-about. I live only a short walk from my old practice. Keep an eye out for changes in this website as I expand it with new technology and software I develop (in retirement).

Dr. Simonian on TV
When I started my practice in the early years I was easily accessible to the media. This gave me the opportunity to share important topics related to children. I concentrated on safety issues but was also called upon to speak on the health issue of the day. Click here [ Videos ]

Care Philosophy
Our office provides easy and prompt access for your kids. Let us know how we can help you.
Introduction
There are many topics covered in the navigation bar. You can either Click through topics and find a subject, or just do a Search. You will find information related to the word(s) you use.
This website will help you meet the common needs of newborn babies and older children and adolescents. It provides helpful hints on how to keep your child healthy and happy. I hope it will be a good resource for you in those times when you have questions about your children.
Your child is a unique individual from the day he or she was born. Adapt these instructions to your child. You don’t have to depend on friends and relatives. I will be happy to answer your questions while you are in the hospital or later by phone and during your visits to my office. Through the year, I will give you detailed instructions for your child.
I have developed a second custom chatbot called Water Wise* that helps families learm about drowning prevention and water safety. (*You will need to register on Open AI to use this tool at this time.)
