San Diego Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery in Grantville is the primary practice of Dr. Fred Shahan, who performs dermatology and Mohs micrographic surgery at 6367 Alvarado Court, Suite 107, in the 92120 ZIP. He holds dual degrees: a Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Southern California, earned with honors, and an MD from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, class of 1993. His hospital affiliations include Alvarado Hospital Medical Center in Grantville, East Campus Medical Center at UC San Diego Health, and Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, giving him operating-room access across San Diego County for cases requiring general anesthesia or advanced reconstruction. Dr. Shahan's dermatology residency at Northwestern University, where he served as chief resident, was preceded by an internal-medicine internship at UCSD and additional residency training at New York Medical College. He carries board certification in both dermatology and micrographic dermatologic surgery from the American Board of Dermatology, the latter renewed in 2021. That Mohs certification means he performs the tissue-sparing excision technique in-house for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, processing frozen sections and mapping tumor margins during the same surgical session rather than sending specimens to an outside pathology lab. The PharmD background informs his medication-management approach, particularly for patients on complex immunosuppressive or biologic regimens for psoriasis and severe eczema. Prescription continuity for his Grantville patients often runs through Alvarado Community Pharmacy, an independent pharmacy in the Alvarado corridor that stocks specialty dermatologic compounds. The Grantville location near SDSU anchors his San Diego practice and handles the highest volume of skin-cancer excisions and cosmetic reconstruction cases in his three-site network spanning Encinitas and El Centro.
