One of the leading holistic pediatric practices in Southern California, the Wellness Center for Integrative Pediatrics offers a unique combination of therapies to address medical issues at times so complex that western medicine or alternative medicine alone often cannot treat effectively.
Using the "best of both worlds", Dr. Ruiz treats PANS/PANDAS, autism, mold toxicity, lyme and co-infections, MCAS (mast cell activating syndrome), as well as more common problems such as allergies, ADHD, insomnia, asthma, infant colic, and the common cold.

Nine year old Erica, always an A-student who rarely got into trouble, was now having difficulty focusing and paying attention. Being a sensitive child, she displayed problems with social interaction and sensory issues related to texture. She tormented a boy to the point of physical violence. Rocking & shaking her hands became more dramatic, and her rage attacks became more frequent and scary.
No. Due to the extended time and care we give to each patient, we have decided not to contract with insurance companies. Full payment is expected at the end of each visit. The quality of your health care is limited and dictated by insurance companies. By not getting into contracts with insurance companies, we can completely control the type and quality of care that each patient needs.

We could not be happier with our experience with Dr. Ruiz! We have only been under her guidance for a few short months and our son is at his best health that we have seen since he was diagnosed with Autism less than a year ago. Her vast knowledge in the field of integrative, alternative medicine has been a key component in helping our son heal from many things that we thought we would never progress from. We will continue to only see her for all of his needs as our journey continues. We truly feel cared about and each visit with her office, we feel welcomed by everyone! Highly recommend!

There is no one else I would rather my child see. Dr. Ruiz never stops working, caring, or researching alternative ways to heal every person under her care. Since taking our son to her for the first time a few months ago my son is experiencing the world in a completely new way and so are we. She is the most amazing doctor we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and the results that we see in our son are her doing. We will never look anywhere else and heap praises on her to everyone we can.

Words cannot express the gratitude our family has for having found Dr. Ruiz. Her knowledge and skill is second to none, yet just as important and notable is her genuine, deep care for her patients and their families. She goes to great extents to ensure every need is met. She is thorough and meticulous in her treatment and care for her patients. She leaves no stones unturned; she LISTENS intently and devises treatment plans WITH parents, ensuring everything is properly discussed, explored and clearly understood. She helped heal our son and continues to take amazing care of all our kiddos! The phrase

Stop ❗Look no further. If you want to truly heal your child, then you found the right Doctor!
Dr. Ruiz is a true hidden gem. With her years of experience in western and integrative medicine she will HEAL your child or you. Years I spent trying to figure out what was wrong with my son (autism). The hand flapping, the sensitivity, the aggression, zero eye contact, the list goes on. I would take him to his regular pediatrician and she would tell me excuse after excuse. Until it was time for me to be my sons advocate and search for different answers...and boy did God and the Universe have something

After multiple visits to kaiser doctors including ER and GI in Nov 2020, my little one was diagnosed with functional abdominal pain. Her symptoms were abdominal pain, nausea and heartburn. All labs were normal. Abdominal X-rays revealed constipation. She was given miralax and prescription meds to treat symptoms. I was not satisfied with the diagnosis nor treatment as my little one was in constant pain daily so I searched for functional doctor in my area. Thank God, I found Dr Ruiz. She was an answered prayer. She was very thorough and ordered stool test in January 2021 which revealed imbalance

Dr. Ruiz has been a savior and blessing for our family. My son was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition. We inquired and asked if she could help and before our first visit Dr. Ruiz researched and was already prepared. Healing his gut and reducing his inflammation has been key to my son's recovery. He is now in remission and living a full active life. Dr Ruiz's attention to detail and care was so refreshing after months of various doctors visits. Highly recommend and would trust her with the care of any child.

We have been patients of Dr. Ruiz since 2016. She offers a level of expertise and care that is almost unheard of in medicine today. Visits are not rushed. She is well prepared, takes time to learn and understand both the kids and parents, and is both conservative and innovative in her treatment. She focuses on overall wellness through a combination of traditional Western medicine, Eastern medicine, and homeopathics. The results are astounding. My oldest struggled with significant health problems that other pediatricians were unable to diagnose. Through persistence, Dr. Ruiz discovered the issue
