About

David P. Hansen, MD leads Chula Vista Internal Medicine & Cardiology Medical Group at 754 Medical Center Court in Chula Vista's Medical Center Drive corridor, the highest-density healthcare zone anchored by Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Scripps Mercy Hospital. His dual emphasis on internal medicine and cardiovascular disease aligns with the interventional cardiology services at Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego, which shares the Medical Center Court address for patients requiring catheterization or advanced cardiac imaging. Hansen graduated from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in 1970, completed his internship at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and finished his residency at UC San Diego — a training arc spanning three major academic medical centers. Post-cardiac-event rehabilitation and musculoskeletal recovery are coordinated through referrals to Synergy Orthopedics Physical Therapy for patients transitioning from acute cardiac care to supervised exercise reconditioning. Hansen speaks English, German, and Spanish, and holds privileges at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Sharp Coronado Hospital. His cardiovascular practice employs stress echocardiography, Holter and event monitor interpretation, and carotid duplex ultrasound referral protocols for cerebrovascular risk stratification in patients with atrial fibrillation and peripheral arterial disease.
