About

Uri Guefen, MD practices primary care in Chula Vista at the Perlman Clinic on J Street, bringing board certification in emergency medicine and a three-year general surgery residency from the University of Miami to outpatient family medicine. The eight-exam-room clinic integrates urgent care and primary care under one roof, sharing the Perlman Clinic platform with Perlman Clinic Chula Vista for same-day acute walk-in visits. After 22 years in emergency departments across San Diego County and Imperial County, Dr. Guefen transitioned to primary and urgent care in 2006, bringing critical-care triage instincts to outpatient medicine in western Chula Vista. Bilingual consultations in English and Spanish and a medication management protocol refined through ER practice shape the J Street clinic's approach, with prescription coordination handled through local dispensaries including Chula Vista Pharmacy. Clinical capabilities span EKG interpretation, laceration repair, joint injections, and chronic disease management for diabetes and hypertension, reflecting a combined surgical, emergency, and primary care training pipeline through UNAM and the University of Miami.
