About

Since joining Coronado's medical community in 1999, Dr. Patricia Kettlehake, MD has practiced dual-specialty internal medicine and pediatrics from Suite 220 at 230 Prospect Place, within the Coronado Physicians Medical Center on the island's 92118 ZIP. She graduated with honors from the University of Toledo College of Medicine in 1995 and completed her internship and residency at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in North Carolina before relocating to Coronado. Her caseload spans newborns through older adults, covering preventive wellness exams, chronic condition management, growth-and-development monitoring, postpartum health, and shingles treatment — a full-lifespan scope that includes routine vision screening referrals through providers such as Coronado Family Optometry on Orange Avenue. Affiliated with Sharp Community Medical Group and Sharp Coronado Hospital, she coordinates lab work, imaging, and specialist consultations across the Sharp HealthCare network. Her integrated approach to primary care and behavioral health includes depression and anxiety screening with referral pathways to on-island providers such as Resolution Psychology at 1224 10th Street. Highest-complexity cases involve concurrent pediatric developmental assessments and adult chronic-disease management within the same household, coordinating growth-chart tracking, immunization schedules, and multi-drug regimens for parents with comorbid hypertension and diabetes.
