John A. Figueroa, PA-C is an orthopedic physician assistant at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center in Allied Gardens, San Diego, treating musculoskeletal conditions from the 4647 Zion Ave campus in the 92120 ZIP code. Figueroa holds California PA license #PA16734, completed his physician assistant training at Western University of Health Sciences in 2002, and maintains current NCCPA board certification with NPI 1689790842. His orthopedic caseload covers arthritis management, bursitis treatment, joint injection procedures, fracture follow-up, and pre-operative assessments for knee, hip, and shoulder procedures, with post-operative patients transitioning into structured rehabilitation at facilities including San Diego Sports Medicine & Family Health Center on Mission Gorge Rd in Grantville for sports-specific recovery protocols. Within Kaiser's integrated orthopedic department, Figueroa works alongside board-certified orthopedic surgeons to manage the non-operative pipeline — patients whose conditions respond to physical therapy referrals, corticosteroid injections, bracing protocols, and activity modification before surgical intervention becomes necessary. The Zion campus sits within Allied Gardens' Waring Rd medical corridor, and Figueroa's patient panel draws from residential communities across the 92120 ZIP including families who need musculoskeletal care for youth sports injuries. Complementary musculoskeletal care in the area includes spinal manipulation services at Chiropractic Center for Health and Human Potential in Allied Gardens for patients who integrate chiropractic adjustment with their orthopedic treatment plan. Figueroa's scope under California physician assistant practice law includes ordering MRI and X-ray imaging, interpreting diagnostic studies, prescribing pain management protocols, and performing therapeutic joint aspirations. The Kaiser integrated model links Figueroa's orthopedic notes to the patient's primary care record across every Kaiser facility in San Diego County, ensuring medication interactions and surgical histories are visible to every provider in the chain.
