Dr. Sherwin Q. Gallardo, MD is a board-certified family medicine physician in Allied Gardens, San Diego, practicing at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center, 4647 Zion Avenue in the 92120 ZIP. A native San Diegan, he earned his medical degree from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine in 1996, completed his family medicine residency at Adventist Health Glendale from 1996 to 1999, and has practiced with Kaiser Permanente in San Diego since 2002, with rehabilitation referrals for musculoskeletal injuries routing through Spine & Sport Physical Therapy in the adjacent City Heights area. Dr. Gallardo serves as assistant director of Kaiser's family medicine residency training program and holds a voluntary faculty appointment as clinical assistant professor of family medicine at UC San Diego. His clinical focus emphasizes care for young families and children of all ages, covering preventive physicals, immunizations, chronic disease management, and developmental screening across Kaiser's integrated system. The Zion Medical Center campus on Zion Avenue consolidates primary care, subspecialty departments in cardiology, gastroenterology, and orthopedic surgery, plus laboratory, pharmacy, and diagnostic imaging into a single facility serving the Allied Gardens and surrounding 92120 neighborhoods. Behavioral health concerns identified during family medicine visits, including anxiety and depression in adolescent and adult patients, route to specialists including Alter Behavioral Health in College Area for structured outpatient treatment programs. Dr. Gallardo's dual role as clinician and residency faculty positions him at the intersection of direct patient care and physician training, and his 20-plus-year tenure at Kaiser reflects the continuity-of-provider model that defines the system's approach to family medicine in San Diego.
