Board-Certified Pediatrician in Victorville
Being a new or expectant mom or dad can be one of life’s most exhilarating experiences, but also sometimes an overwhelming or even frightening one. You and your new family are going through many changes, and you no doubt will have many questions about your baby’s health and development. A board-certified pediatrician is specifically trained and experienced in normal baby development, toddler development and child development, has the knowledge and the time to answer your questions and properly address any fears or anxiety you may be experiencing. You want a specialized pediatric doctor who is there for you and your baby.
Dr. Glenn Matney is that kind of doctor. For well over 20 years, his practice has been dedicated to well-baby care and normal child development. In addition to expert treatment for all manner of childhood illnesses, he has been teaching and treating tens of thousands of young moms and dads and grandparents of children of all ages since opening his practice in 1992.
Dr. Matney’s private practice starts out with your newborn’s exam in the hospital nursery. Next for your new baby comes well-baby care in his office and the monitoring of normal health and development. As your baby grows up, toddler physicals and developmental assessments come next, and then life moves on to school physicals and teenager issues. Dr. Matney’s office is there for the whole journey.
His office provides all recommended baby shots and child vaccinations, as well as teenage school vaccinations, and Dr. Matney also specializes in the treatment of ADD and ADHD treatment, along with all forms of comprehensive pediatric care services.

About Us
Dr. Matney

You will know the feeling that you are in a very professional, yet warm and kid-friendly environment where you and your child are in very good hands.

Well Baby Care
Young moms and dads, as well as experienced and long-time parents, all appreciate how Dr. Matney cares for their babies in sickness and in health. He follows all of the latest and up-to-date recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the California Department of Public Health for a well-baby program which focuses on the prevention of life-threatening diseases through properly scheduled and administered vaccinations for children (baby shots).
Circumcision
In 2012, after a comprehensive review of all the current scientific evidence, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) found that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks, but the benefits were still not considered great enough to recommend that every single male newborn should be routinely or automatically circumcised. The AAP recommended that the final decision should be left to parents to make in the context of their religious, ethical and cultural beliefs, which is exactly the way Dr. Matney has practiced newborn male circumcision for over 20 years.
Vaccinations
Dr. Matney follows all the latest up-to-date guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the California Department of Public Health regarding immunizations and vaccinations for babies and children. They include, but are not limited to, routine shots for kids, immunizations and vaccinations against:
School Physicals
School age children commonly need school physicals to enroll in preschool, daycare, kindergarten, and grade school. Later come physicals for middle school, high school, college, vocational schools, pre-employment physicals, or sometimes a clearance for a health concern before joining the military.
