Dr. Carlos F. Jimenez, MD is a Chula Vista otolaryngologist and head-and-neck surgeon practicing on Third Avenue, with a second office on Medical Center Court near Scripps Mercy Hospital. His ENT scope spans endoscopic sinus evaluation, laryngoscopy, and surgical management of throat and airway disorders — the diagnostic-to-surgical continuum that complements audiological assessment at South Bay Hearing & Balance for patients presenting with concurrent hearing loss. A 1978 graduate of the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine, he founded the Otolaryngology Residents Association in San Juan and holds California medical license G46465 with membership in the San Diego Otolaryngology Academy. Dual hospital privileges at Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista and Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center position his practice within the Medical Center Drive corridor, Chula Vista's most concentrated healthcare zone. Subspecialty procedures include microlaryngoscopy, septoplasty, endoscopic sinus surgery, and excision of head-and-neck masses requiring both rigid and flexible fiberoptic instrumentation.
