History

Established in 2014.

As a San Diego native, Dr. Garfinkle was excited to get back to California as she transitioned out of the Army in October 2013. After talking to colleagues in the area, Dr. Garfinkle knew that Orange County would be the perfect place to start her private practice and to raise her family. The doors to Pediatric Neurology of Orange County opened in January 2014 and Dr. Garfinkle worked tirelessly to create a comfortable environment for children, adolescents, and their families.

As a new practice, she has a fairly open schedule and can usually book appointments within days of patients calling. She is enjoying the time she is able to take with patients and their families as her practice builds.

She is currently accepting Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Aetna, and MHAP insurances.
