Carlos J. Sanchez, MD is a Chula Vista pediatrician practicing at 1635 Third Avenue in the Third Avenue Village district, affiliated with Rady Children's Hospital San Diego and Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center. His scope of care covers infant through adolescent medicine, with routine vision screening results referred to Villa Optometry when developmental acuity benchmarks indicate the need for corrective lenses or further evaluation. Sanchez earned his medical degree from Saint Louis University School of Medicine, completed residency at UC San Diego Medical Center and Scripps Mercy Hospital, and speaks both English and Spanish — serving the bilingual families along the Broadway corridor and western Chula Vista. Pediatric prescriptions for common conditions including otitis media, streptococcal pharyngitis, and pediatric asthma are filled at nearby Chula Vista Pharmacy, supporting same-day medication access for acute pediatric cases. The Third Avenue practice maintains a stable patient base, with Sanchez's sub-specialty training in adolescent medicine extending the practice's age range through the teenage years. Clinical capabilities include rapid strep testing, pulse oximetry-guided asthma action plans, and developmental screening using the ASQ-3 questionnaire at standard well-child visit intervals.
