The facility sits within walking distance of the SDSU Transit Center, drawing a patient base that includes campus staff, international students from the surrounding El Cajon Boulevard corridor, and long-term College Area residents. City Heights Family Health Center houses approximately 55 providers across 17 specialty areas under one roof, and Dr. Kaufman's family medicine panel coordinates directly with on-site dental, behavioral health, and pediatric departments within the same building. Prescription fulfillment after visits routes through nearby options including Vons Pharmacy on College Avenue, which keeps a standing formulary compatible with most plans accepted at the clinic.
