Angelito M. Arias, MD is a triple board-certified dermatopathologist at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center in Allied Gardens, practicing at 4647 Zion Avenue, San Diego 92120. He holds board certifications in anatomic pathology, dermatology, and dermatopathology — a combination that places him at the intersection of clinical skin examination and microscopic tissue analysis. Dr. Arias graduated from the University of the East / Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center in 1976 and has accumulated more than forty-seven years of clinical and laboratory experience in skin disease diagnosis. Biopsy specimens requiring dermatopathology reads also arrive from community dermatology practices outside the Kaiser system, including Dermatology & Laser Center of San Diego in Grantville, which generates tissue samples for melanoma staging and margin assessment. His dermatopathology work at Kaiser Zion involves interpreting biopsied tissue for basal cell carcinoma margin evaluation, inflammatory dermatosis classification, and rare cutaneous lymphoma identification. The pathology reports he generates determine surgical margins for Mohs procedures and guide treatment protocols for conditions ranging from psoriasis to cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Dr. Arias operates within the Southern California Permanente Medical Group and accepts new patients through Kaiser's scheduling system. Kaiser Zion sits on the Allied Gardens corridor near the I-8 freeway, less than two miles south of SDSU, within the 92120 ZIP's medical infrastructure that includes multiple Kaiser specialty departments under one campus. Acute dermatologic presentations requiring same-visit biopsy and rapid pathology turnaround coordinate through urgent care facilities across the area, including Perlman Clinic La Mesa for initial triage of suspicious skin lesions that need expedited dermatopathology evaluation. Referring physicians in the Allied Gardens network send skin biopsy specimens through the integrated Kaiser laboratory system for same-campus dermatopathology reads that typically return results within a standard pathology turnaround window.
