About

Suriti Kundu, MD practices family medicine in College Area, San Diego at the City Heights Family Health Center on El Cajon Boulevard, serving patients across the 92115 ZIP through Family Health Centers of San Diego. She earned her medical degree from the University of California, Davis School of Medicine in 1993, completed an internship at Mercy Hospital in San Diego and her family medicine residency at UC San Diego in 1997, and has held Diplomate status with the American Board of Family Medicine since that year. Dr. Kundu has published peer-reviewed work in American Family Physician on topics including office anesthesia techniques and the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, and her urgent care referrals for patients requiring walk-in evaluation beyond the FHCSD system route through Perlman Clinic Mission Gorge on the Grantville corridor. She holds a voluntary appointment as assistant clinical professor of family medicine at UCSD, where she has taught since 2006, and speaks Spanish in addition to English, serving the multilingual El Cajon Boulevard corridor's immigrant and refugee communities. The FHCSD model operates as a federally qualified health center, accepting Medi-Cal, Medicare, and sliding-scale payment structures for uninsured patients, a safety-net care model that addresses the College Area population's socioeconomic diversity. Dr. Kundu is affiliated with East Campus Medical Center at UC San Diego Health for inpatient referrals, and her clinical scope covers chronic disease management for diabetes, depression, and hypertension alongside preventive care and immunizations. Transitional care coordination for elderly patients in the College Area community connects with assisted-living communities including Vista Del Sol Assisted Living and Memory Care for structured residential support. Her three-decade career in San Diego family medicine, anchored by UCSD training and a sustained academic teaching commitment, positions the El Cajon Boulevard practice as a training site for the next generation of family physicians near SDSU.
