Navy veteran and board-certified internist Michael Fangerow, DO, sees adult primary care patients at the Perlman Clinic in Grantville, San Diego, at 6386 Alvarado Ct Suite 101 in the 92120 ZIP. He earned his DO from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his internship and internal medicine residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego, then served on active duty through 2022 in both clinical and hospital settings before transitioning to civilian practice. Dr. Fangerow holds NPI 1952697740 and California osteopathic license 16904, with board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine. The Perlman Clinic operates as part of Sharp Community Medical Group, giving his referrals a direct pathway into Sharp Memorial Hospital and Sharp Grossmont Hospital's specialist networks, and the Grantville office shares the Alvarado Court medical corridor with dental and oral surgery practices including Brighton Dental on the same Alvarado block. His Navy background concentrated training in geriatric medicine and chronic disease management, two areas that carry directly into his Grantville panel where he manages hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, and age-related mobility conditions. Dr. Fangerow also maintains a second Perlman Clinic office at 9325 Mission Gorge Road in Santee, extending his reach along the Mission Gorge corridor that connects Grantville to east county. Pain management and musculoskeletal complaints from his internal medicine panel sometimes intersect with integrative modalities offered at Grantville acupuncture practices, and We Love Acupuncture on Mission Gorge Road handles needle-based pain protocols for the same patient demographic. The osteopathic training underpinning his DO credential includes 200-plus hours of musculoskeletal manipulation techniques beyond the standard allopathic curriculum, a differentiator in how he approaches back pain, joint dysfunction, and post-surgical rehabilitation in his adult medicine caseload.
