About

Board-certified urologist Youssef Tanagho, MD, MPH, treats patients at 131 Orange Avenue in Coronado through Innovative Medical Solutions, bringing fellowship training in minimally invasive surgery from Washington University in Saint Louis. The Coronado office operates under the same IMS umbrella as Southern California GI & Liver Centers, consolidating gastroenterology and urology referral pathways within a single Orange Avenue suite for 92118 residents. Dual bachelor's degrees from Stanford University, a medical degree from Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine, and a Harvard School of Public Health MPH earned on academic scholarship underpin a research portfolio exceeding 75 peer-reviewed urological publications. Designated a UroLift Center of Excellence — one of a select group of urologists in California to hold that distinction — the practice treats benign prostatic hyperplasia, kidney stones, and urological cancers steps from Sharp Coronado Community Pharmacy & Travel Clinic on the hospital campus. Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy, laser lithotripsy, and transurethral resection procedures are performed with Sharp Coronado Hospital privileges, maintaining sub-specialty surgical capacity on Coronado Island rather than requiring patient transfer across the Coronado Bridge. Hotel Del Coronado at 1500 Orange Avenue anchors the southern end of the island's commercial corridor, and the village's compact 92118 geography means patients reach every medical office on the island within a short walk, bike ride, or drive from any residential block. Coronado Beach's year-round outdoor lifestyle and the island's military-athletic population produce a patient base with distinct health profiles shaped by ocean sports, UV exposure, and the physical demands of active-duty service. The 92118 specialist community serves referrals from the island's primary-care providers and Sharp Coronado Hospital, treating patients whose conditions span the active-duty military injuries from Naval Air Station North Island, the UV-exposure dermatology of a Coronado Beach lifestyle, and the age-related care needs of long-term island residents.
