San Diego Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery in Grantville is a medical group practice led by Dr. Fred Shahan, MD, PharmD, a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology who is also board certified in Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery. Dr. Shahan earned his Doctor of Pharmacy from USC with honors and his MD from UC San Diego, then completed his dermatology residency at Northwestern University in 1997 as chief resident. The Suite 107 office at 6367 Alvarado Court in San Diego's 92120 ZIP code operates within the Alvarado Hospital Medical Center complex, where the cosmetic arm covers laser resurfacing, injectable neurotoxins, dermal fillers, and liposuction alongside the medical dermatology caseload. Oral pathology findings from dental practices along the Alvarado corridor route mucosal lesion biopsies to the dermatology office for histopathologic evaluation, a referral pathway shared with Brighton Dental in Grantville. Mohs micrographic surgery — the gold standard for skin cancer removal on the face and neck — is performed on-site, with same-day tissue processing that maps tumor margins layer by layer to minimize the excision footprint while confirming clear borders. Annual skin cancer screenings form the diagnostic backbone of the practice, running full-body examinations under dermatoscopy to flag melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma at stages where excision outcomes are strongest. Dr. Shahan holds active privileges at both Alvarado Hospital Medical Center in Grantville and Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, supporting a two-location practice model with a satellite office in north San Diego County. The practice's cosmetic procedures share the laser and light-therapy modality space with medical aesthetic providers across Allied Gardens, including San Diego Cosmetic Laser Clinic, though Shahan's dual pharmacy and medical training gives him a pharmacokinetic lens on post-procedure healing protocols. Providers at the practice speak Arabic in addition to English, extending language access for a patient base drawn from San Diego's eastern neighborhoods and the broader Grantville medical district.
