A former Navy dermatologist, Dr. Frederick C. Fehl III now treats skin disease and skin cancer in Allied Gardens, San Diego, at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center, 4647 Zion Avenue, 92120. He earned his MD from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, in 1987, then completed an internal-medicine internship and a dermatology residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego between 1987 and 1995. Patients referred for periorbital skin lesions near the eye area sometimes coordinate with Allied Gardens Family Optometry on the Waring Road corridor for co-managed care when lesion proximity affects the eyelid margin. After fulfilling his Navy commitment, Dr. Fehl joined Scripps Clinic and eventually served as chief of dermatology for the system before moving to Kaiser Permanente. His UCLA undergraduate education and San Diego upbringing root him in the region's patient community. He now sees patients at both the Zion campus in Allied Gardens and the La Mesa Medical Offices on Parkway Drive, covering the eastern half of San Diego's Kaiser service area. Treatment records emphasize actinic keratosis surveillance, skin-lesion excision, and cancer screening, which aligns with the high-UV exposure profile of Southern California's outdoor population. Biopsy specimens from Dr. Fehl's excision procedures process through pathology services including Labcorp in Allied Gardens, which handles dermatopathology slide preparation and diagnostic reporting for the Kaiser network. His scope spans the full dermatologic spectrum from acne and psoriasis to melanoma surveillance under the preventive-care model that Kaiser Permanente structures around longitudinal patient tracking at its Waring Road campus.
