About

Board-certified family physician Leticia A. Polanco, MD treats patients in Chula Vista's Medical Center corridor through South Bay Primary Medical Group at 769 Medical Center Court, the practice she co-founded in 2016 after completing residency through the Scripps Family Medicine Residency Program. Her office sits directly on Medical Center Court adjacent to Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, where she holds hospital privileges through Sharp Community Medical Group for inpatient admissions and emergency consultations. A Boston University School of Medicine graduate, she carries clinical interests spanning diabetes management, preventive medicine, women's health, and adolescent care for patients ages ten and older. Bilingual English-Spanish consultations address the South Bay's multilingual patient population, and her service as Chairman of Sharp Chula Vista's Utilization Committee and community faculty through UC San Diego Medical School reflects engagement in both hospital governance and medical education. Chronic disease prescription management for her diabetes and hypertension panels integrates with independent dispensing at South Bay Pharmacy, providing patients an alternative to chain pharmacy workflows for ongoing medication refills. Complex case management includes multi-organ chronic disease coordination for patients carrying concurrent Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia diagnoses — conditions requiring quarterly metabolic panel monitoring and medication titration across three simultaneous pharmacologic protocols.
