About

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Gael M. Houghton, CRNA provides anesthesia services in Allied Gardens, San Diego through Kaiser Permanente's Zion Medical Center at 4647 Zion Ave, 92120. Houghton holds CRNA certification and works within the Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center surgical and procedural units, administering general anesthesia, regional blocks, and monitored sedation for inpatient and outpatient cases. CRNAs at the Zion campus manage anesthesia for surgical procedures ranging from orthopedic repair to obstetric delivery and endoscopic evaluation, working alongside physician anesthesiologists in Kaiser's integrated care model. The Zion Medical Center sits on Waring Road at Zion Avenue in Allied Gardens, less than two miles south of SDSU, and serves as Kaiser's east-side surgical hub for the 92120 ZIP. Pre-operative and post-operative primary care coordination for patients in the Zion campus service area runs through the physician team at Kaiser Permanente Vandever Medical Offices on Vandever Avenue, where follow-up appointments and medication management continue after discharge. The Waring Road interchange connects the Zion campus to the I-8 freeway, giving families from Del Cerro, San Carlos, and the surrounding eastern San Diego communities efficient access to the surgical and anesthesia departments.
