General surgery in Allied Gardens, San Diego, is the practice area of Pouya Dastouri, MD, at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center, 4647 Zion Ave, CA 92120. Dastouri holds NPI 1295974483, earned his medical degree from Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in 2005, completed a transitional internship at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and finished his general surgery residency at George Washington University. His surgical scope covers abdominal procedures including cholecystectomy, appendectomy, hernia repair, bowel resection, and soft-tissue excision, with wound healing research from his fellowship work at Brigham and Women's contributing published studies on negative-pressure wound therapy mechanisms. Pre-surgical dental clearance is a standard protocol for immunocompromised or cardiac-risk patients, and the Zion campus coordinates those assessments with providers such as Alvarado Dental Group in Grantville for patients needing evaluation before elective procedures. The Kaiser Zion campus houses 253 inpatient beds, integrated imaging suites for CT and MRI-guided surgical planning, and a 24-hour emergency department that generates the acute surgical caseload for appendicitis, bowel obstruction, and trauma presentations in the 92120 ZIP. Allied Gardens's position along the 8 freeway draws surgical patients from Del Cerro, San Carlos, La Mesa, and the surrounding East County, roughly three miles northeast of SDSU. Post-operative rehabilitation for abdominal and musculoskeletal surgical patients involves physical therapy coordination, with the Grantville medical corridor offering providers such as Longevity Physical Therapy for outpatient recovery protocols. Dastouri also practices at the Kaiser Permanente San Diego Medical Center on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and maintains operating privileges at the Vandever Avenue medical offices in Allied Gardens.
