About

Board-certified pediatrician Stuart Cohen, MD, MPH, FAAP practices at Children's Primary Care Medical Group in Grantville, San Diego, from the Alvarado Road office at 6699 Alvarado Rd, Suite 2200, 92120. Cohen earned his medical degree from the University of Manitoba in Canada in 1980, completed an internship at Health Sciences Centre and a residency at the Children's Hospital of Winnipeg, and has practiced continuously since 1987 with CPCMG since 1996. His NPI is 1972574994, and the Alvarado Road office sits near the East Campus Medical Center at UC San Diego Health in Grantville, placing CPCMG within a healthcare corridor that concentrates pediatric, emergency, and specialty services along the Alvarado Road-Mission Gorge Road axis. Cohen holds board certification in pediatrics with clinical emphasis areas including ADHD evaluation, allergy testing, asthma management, behavioral health screening, and adolescent growth assessment. He speaks French and Hebrew alongside English, and his hospital affiliations include Rady Children's Hospital San Diego, Sharp Grossmont Hospital, and Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns. Cohen served as president of the San Diego County Medical Society from 2008 to 2009 and spent 25 years as an AAP delegate to the American Medical Association, focusing on healthcare financing, coding, and vaccine policy at the national level. His leadership extends to co-directing the SD KHAN grant through the federal Maternal Child Health Bureau, which linked public health infrastructure with private pediatric practices to increase Medi-Cal enrollment for underinsured children in San Diego County. Pediatric musculoskeletal complaints identified during well-child exams benefit from chiropractic assessment, and families in the Grantville and Del Cerro area access providers such as Family Connection Chiropractic in College Area for spinal evaluations in growing children. CPCMG operates as an independent physician-owned pediatric group affiliated with Sharp HealthCare, and Cohen's senior shareholder status and board role within the IPA reflect a three-decade investment in San Diego's pediatric care infrastructure from this Grantville practice.
