About

William Pitt, MD is a cardiologist in Grantville practicing at the Perlman Clinic, 6386 Alvarado Court, Suite 101, San Diego, CA 92120. Pitt earned his medical degree from the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine in 1967, completed an internal medicine residency at Vancouver General Hospital, served a rotating internship at Mercy Hospital in San Diego, and earned his fellowship in cardiovascular disease at the University of California San Diego. Acute cardiac presentations that require immediate triage often begin at urgent-care settings before routing to cardiology, and Perlman Clinic La Mesa on the Grantville border is one facility in that referral pathway whose urgent-care physicians coordinate with Pitt's cardiology practice in the same health network. He has been practicing medicine since 1973 and holds more than 50 years of cardiovascular experience in San Diego, with over 40 publications and research projects spanning hypertension management, coronary artery disease, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia screening, and pulmonary hypertension. Pitt is affiliated with Alvarado Hospital Medical Center in Grantville, Scripps Mercy Hospital, and UC San Diego Health, giving the practice multi-system surgical and diagnostic access for cardiac catheterization, vascular duplex ultrasonography, and tilt-table testing. He is a member of the American College of Cardiology, the San Diego Medical Society, and the California Medical Association. The Alvarado Court address sits on the Grantville medical corridor near Mission Gorge Road and the I-8 interchange, within the 92120 ZIP. Patients on long-term cardiac medication regimens sometimes require compounded formulations or specialized dosing, and Alvarado Compounding & Retail Pharmacy in the Allied Gardens corridor handles that customized dispensing within the same 92120 network. Pitt's practice through the Southern California Cardiology Medical Group provides a continuity-of-care model rooted in a single Grantville campus where the same cardiologist manages a patient's case from initial diagnostic workup through long-term maintenance.
