About

Sharp Rees-Stealy Chula Vista Occupational Medicine occupies the second floor at 525 Third Avenue in Chula Vista's Third Avenue Village, staffing 34 physicians across 21 medical specialties under the Sharp HealthCare umbrella. The occupational health division handles employer-mandated DOT physicals, pre-employment drug screenings, and tuberculosis testing, coordinating specimen collection with rapid-turnaround labs including Fastest Labs of Chula Vista for workplace compliance results. Workers' compensation injury management covers the full cycle from initial triage and diagnostic imaging through treatment planning and return-to-work clearance, all documented within Sharp Rees-Stealy's integrated electronic health record system. Beyond occupational cases, the Third Avenue facility provides access to primary care, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, and pediatrics, consolidating multispecialty care at one South Bay address. Musculoskeletal injuries assessed through the occupational medicine intake sometimes require ongoing spinal or joint maintenance, a pathway that connects recovering workers to providers including The Joint Chiropractic for post-treatment adjustment protocols. The clinic's occupational screening panel includes 10-panel urine drug immunoassays, QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus blood draws, audiometric baseline testing, and pulmonary function spirometry for OSHA-regulated industries.
