Dr. Edgar Chernin, MD

Welcome to my Web page. I am a board-certified neonatologist. This pediatric subspecialty is dedicated to the care of sick newborn infants. I have been practicing neonatology since 1992 and joined Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center in 2006. I am here to help make a difference in the health of your baby.
Biography
I was born and raised in Russia. During my medical residency I was drawn to newborn intensive care. Evaluating the conditions of newborn patients by means of physical exams and modern medical technology was very challenging and rewarding to me. I was fascinated with many newborns’ ability to recover quickly when receiving appropriate care from a trained, compassionate neonatal medical team. I’ve been practicing in Southern California ever since I completed my neonatal training at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
About my practice
As a neonatologist I provide medical care to newborns with a wide variety of conditions. Some are born prematurely. …Others have cardiac, respiratory, or infectious diseases. Still others are born with genetic anomalies or need surgery. After a baby â€sgraduatesâ€t from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and is discharged from the hospital, I continue to see him or her in a follow-up clinic, where we evaluate our very young patient for any long-term complications that may be associated with his or her challenging start in life. My colleagues and I work as a team, contributing our various points of view to better provide continuous and well-coordinated care. The joy of seeing my patients recover and join their families is the most rewarding feeling in my practice.
How I thrive
My love for my family gives me the energy to deal with the challenges of my work. My professional success is thanks to the love and support of my family. I was so lucky to find my beautiful wife, the love of my life, to whom I have been happily married for 25 years. Although my wife and I were born in the same city in Russia, we met and fell in love in California. We have three children. As a family we enjoy healthy dining, exercising, traveling, learning, and taking walks along the beach with our dogs.
