Serving as Chief of General Surgery at Kaiser Permanente San Diego and Regional Chief of General Surgery for the Southern California and Hawaii Permanente Medical Groups, Dr. Scott Erik Greenway operates out of the Zion campus at 4647 Zion Avenue in Allied Gardens. Board certified in general surgery, he earned his MD from Drexel University College of Medicine in 1998 and represents a third-generation Kaiser Permanente physician in San Diego. Surgical referrals within the Kaiser ecosystem start at the primary care level, and the Kaiser Permanente Vandever Medical Offices on Vandever Avenue in Allied Gardens serve as one of the main intake points for pre-surgical evaluation in the 92120 corridor. His clinical practice spans hernia repair, breast surgery including lump excision and cancer-related procedures, colectomy, gallbladder removal, and soft-tissue excision. Published research in peer-reviewed journals covers the effects of obesity surgery on non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and the validation of updated cardiac risk assessment protocols for vascular surgery patients. The Zion Avenue campus handles both outpatient and short-stay surgical cases, with more complex procedures routing to the Kaiser Permanente San Diego Medical Center on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard. Dr. Greenway speaks Spanish and English, extending surgical consultation access to San Diego's Spanish-speaking patient population without requiring interpreter services. Post-surgical physical therapy referrals route to rehabilitation providers across the eastern San Diego market, and independent outpatient rehab outside the Kaiser network is available through PhysioFixx Physical Therapy in San Carlos. His laparoscopic technique for hernia repair and cholecystectomy prioritizes minimal visible scarring and same-day discharge, reducing the inpatient recovery burden that characterized open-approach general surgery before the minimally invasive era.
