About

Mimi E. Shaffer, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch in Chula Vista, practices from the E Palomar Street medical complex in the 91913 zip code near Otay Ranch Town Center, the eastern corridor's dominant shopping and dining anchor. Her evidence-based approach to reproductive health includes screening for perinatal mood disorders, a clinical concern that coordinates with the psychiatric evaluation resources at KMG Psychiatry for patients presenting with antepartum or postpartum depression. She earned her MD from East Tennessee State University's James H. Quillen College of Medicine in 2011 and completed her OB/GYN residency at the University of California, San Diego, Medical Center in 2015. Her surgical scope includes laparoscopic and open hysterectomy, and she holds privileges at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns, the Sharp system's dedicated maternal-fetal facility. Prenatal patients in the Otay Ranch and Eastlake communities benefit from coordinated dental-health guidance through referral partnerships with pediatric and family dental practices along the Eastlake Parkway corridor, including Coastal Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics for early childhood oral-health planning that begins during the prenatal period. Highest-complexity services include high-risk obstetric management for preeclampsia and gestational diabetes requiring multi-specialist coordination and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis and ovarian pathology.
