David M. Kaiden, MD practices board-certified family medicine in Carlsbad at Kaiser Permanente's medical offices on Avenida Encinas near Poinsettia Park. A 1996 graduate of the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, he completed his family-medicine residency within Kaiser Permanente's Southern California program in 1999—a system-trained pathway that supports integrative referrals to complementary providers such as Red Lotus Wellness Center. His ABFM board certification and 29 years of clinical practice anchor an adult and geriatric panel that addresses autism-spectrum evaluation, metabolic-syndrome management, and hypertension staging. Care coordination for aging patients extends to senior-living transition planning with communities including Carlsbad By The Sea Retirement Community for assisted-living and memory-care assessments. Clinical scope includes STD screening panel ordering, menopause evaluation and hormone-therapy management, and diabetes-care protocols under ADA Standards of Medical Care incorporating HbA1c target individualization.
