About

Alexander Shaft, MD brings board-certified family medicine to Chula Vista's Third Avenue corridor from a practice affiliated with the Sharp HealthCare network. His scope of primary care extends from preventive screenings and chronic-disease management to same-day prescriptions coordinated through neighborhood dispensaries such as Chula Vista Pharmacy. A 2016 graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, he completed clinical training that included gastroenterology-focused rotations before establishing his Chula Vista practice on Third Avenue near the Broadway corridor. Adult patients presenting with cardiovascular risk factors benefit from coordinated referral pathways to subspecialists in the Sharp system, including the interventional team at Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego. Comprehensive wellness visits incorporate metabolic panels, lipid cascade screening, and hemoglobin A1c monitoring under current American Diabetes Association threshold protocols.
