In Chula Vista's downtown medical district, Dr. Sonia Ponce, MD, Community Cardiology Clinic delivers cardiovascular disease evaluation and preventive cardiology from 227 Church Avenue. The practice's diagnostic workup for peripheral vascular conditions and venous insufficiency complements the interventional scope at San Diego Vein Specialists, forming a referral corridor for patients requiring both cardiac and vascular evaluation. Board certified in both cardiovascular disease and internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine, the practice draws on a University of Utah School of Medicine degree, an internal medicine residency and cardiovascular disease fellowship at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, and a Master of Public Health from San Diego State University earned in 2017. Clinical services span echocardiography, cardiac stress testing, hypertension management, heart-murmur evaluation, and arrhythmia diagnosis, with consultations available in English and Spanish. The practice's long-term cardiac medication regimens for conditions including heart failure and anticoagulation therapy are dispensed through South Bay area pharmacies such as South Bay Pharmacy, supporting continuity of care across the Chula Vista prescribing network. Affiliated with Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista and Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego, the clinic maintains a second location at 340 Fourth Avenue for expanded patient access across the western corridor.
