About

Alvarado Medical Institute in Allied Gardens, San Diego, operates from Suite 100 at 5555 Reservoir Dr, 92120, under the direction of Bijan Razi, MD, FACC. Dr. Razi earned his MD from the University of Tehran in 1964, completed his internal medicine residency at Wayne State University in Detroit, and finished his cardiology fellowship at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. The Fellow of the American College of Cardiology designation certifies subspecialty competence in cardiovascular disease diagnosis and management. Acute cardiac events that present at walk-in facilities in the area, including Perlman Clinic La Mesa, generate referrals to the cardiology practice for follow-up stress testing, echocardiography, and ongoing monitoring. Dr. Razi served as a professor of medicine for 12 years before transitioning to full-time private practice, and he speaks Arabic and Persian in addition to English. The clinic handles a broad spectrum of cardiovascular conditions including coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome, deep vein thrombosis, and hypokalemia, alongside general internal medicine consultations for chronic disease management. Hospital affiliations include Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego, Sharp Memorial Hospital, and Sharp Grossmont Hospital. Cardiac rehabilitation referrals route patients from the Reservoir Drive office to physical therapy programs at San Diego Sports Medicine Physical Therapy in Grantville, where the therapeutic pool and supervised exercise protocols support post-cardiac-event recovery. The 92120 ZIP positions the practice in the Allied Gardens medical district east of SDSU, between the Kaiser Permanente Zion campus on Zion Avenue and the I-8 freeway corridor.
