Welcome to SP Pediatrics

Personalized Pediatric Care

We have a new approach to pediatric care.



We’re a family-owned pediatric clinic proudly serving Mission Viejo and the surrounding communities. We believe in building real relationships with the families we care for—offering thoughtful, accessible, and compassionate care in a warm, welcoming environment.


We practice a model called Direct Primary Care (DPC)—a simpler, more personal approach to healthcare. By working directly with families rather than billing through insurance, we’re able to offer longer visits, same- or next-day appointments, and direct access to your pediatrician. No rushed appointments, no confusing bills—just consistent, high-quality care that’s designed around your family’s needs.


From your baby’s first days to the teenage years, we’re here to partner with you every step of the way.

How Are We Different?

We do things differently — on purpose. Here’s what sets us apart from traditional practices.



1

We Care for Fewer Families — So We Can Care More

Typical practices design panels of up to 2,500 patients per Physician. Dr Naves will limit her panel to less than 300 patients, which means she can give your child the time and attention they deserve.

That means:

  • Same- or next-day appointments
  • Less time in waiting rooms or long delays
  • Longer, unrushed visits that let you ask every question
  • A close relationship with Dr. Naves
  • You’re never just a number here — you’re part of our care family.

2

No Insurance Hassles — Just Direct, Transparent Care

We don’t bill insurance. Instead, we work directly with you through a simple monthly membership.

That means:

  • No copays, deductibles, or surprise bills
  • More time focused on your child — not insurance paperwork
  • Easy access to care whenever you need it

This direct model puts your child’s health back where it belongs: between you and your doctor.

Charlene Naves, MD

Pediatrician

Sign Up

As a board-certified pediatrician and proud graduate of Texas Tech University, I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to teens. My background includes working in both outpatient pediatric clinics and high-pressure settings like urgent care and as a newborn hospitalist, where I’ve had the privilege of attending over 1,000 deliveries. 


Over the years, I’ve supported families through everything from routine checkups and toddler illnesses to adolescent concerns and unexpected health issues. What I’ve always valued most is the opportunity to build lasting relationships with the families I care for.


I started SPeas Pediatrics to create the kind of practice I would want for my own children—one that allows for longer visits, same- or next-day appointments, and direct access to your pediatrician when you need it most. By using a Direct Primary Care model, I’m able to offer more personalized care and focus on what matters most: you and your child.

Whether it’s your baby’s first checkup, your toddler’s developmental milestones, or your teen’s wellness and mental health, I’m here to support your family every step of the way.


Fluent in both English and Spanish, I’m proud to serve our diverse local community and honored to care for the children who grow up right alongside mine — in the same schools, parks, and neighborhoods we all share.
