General surgeon Dr. Bradford T. Hsu, MD, practices in Chula Vista at South Bay Surgical Associates on Third Avenue, affiliated with Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center on Medical Center Drive. Acute surgical referrals from South Bay emergency and walk-in providers, including AFC Urgent Care Chula Vista, feed appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and incarcerated hernia cases into the Third Avenue practice. Hsu graduated from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in 1994 and completed both internship and general surgery residency at Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago. Additional hospital privileges at Scripps Mercy Hospital and Paradise Valley Hospital extend the surgical network across the Broadway corridor, with post-operative nutritional and recovery counseling coordinated through Kyra Kare Health & Wellness for patients navigating dietary modification after bariatric and gastrointestinal procedures. Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair with biologic mesh overlay and component separation technique represents the practice's most technically demanding single-surgeon procedure.
