Board-certified anesthesiologist Dr. Michael Q. Dinh, MD, practices in Chula Vista at Scripps Mercy Hospital on H Street, providing perioperative anesthesia services across surgical specialties at one of the Medical Center Drive corridor's anchor institutions. Surgical teams requiring general anesthesia for head and neck procedures coordinate operative scheduling with specialists including ENT Associates of San Diego, whose otolaryngologic cases demand precision airway management and intraoperative nerve monitoring. Dinh graduated from the University of California Irvine College of Medicine in 1993, completed internal medicine internship and anesthesiology residency at UC Irvine, and earned board certification from the American Board of Anesthesiology in 1998. Post-surgical pain management pathways extend to interventional pain specialists such as California Pain Consultants for patients transitioning from acute perioperative analgesia to chronic pain rehabilitation protocols. Clinical scope encompasses general, regional, and neuraxial anesthesia techniques including epidural catheter placement for obstetric analgesia and ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks for upper- and lower-extremity orthopedic procedures.
