UC San Diego Health family medicine physician Ian Brickl, MD practices from 2131 Third Avenue in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill, bringing academic medical center resources to a neighborhood primary care setting. Chronic disease management at this UCSD-affiliated clinic includes exercise-prescription referrals to downtown facilities like Anytime Fitness Downtown San Diego, where structured physical activity programs address hypertension, obesity, and diabetes outcomes tracked through the UCSD patient portal. Dr. Brickl graduated from the University of Colorado School of Medicine and completed his family medicine residency at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, earning board certification through the American Board of Family Medicine and conducting patient encounters in both English and Spanish. Therapeutic soft-tissue and pain-management referrals extend to providers like Mellow Massage for patients whose chronic myofascial pain responds to targeted deep-tissue intervention alongside pharmacologic management. His most complex longitudinal cases involve multi-morbidity coordination for patients with five or more concurrent chronic conditions, requiring quarterly medication reconciliation across UCSD specialty departments and community pharmacy formularies.
