Board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine, Gerard Lumkong, MD in Encinitas provides primary care through Scripps Coastal Medical Center on North El Camino Real. His practice coordinates on-site lab work through Labcorp at the North Coast Health Center campus for same-day diagnostic panels and routine bloodwork. A 1993 graduate of UC San Diego School of Medicine who completed his residency at San Jose Medical Center through Stanford University, he carries subspecialty training in sports medicine, hepatitis C treatment, and travel medicine. His bilingual English-Spanish practice manages cardiovascular risk stratification and chronic disease care — the type of longitudinal primary care that feeds specialty pipelines like Coastal Cardiovascular Care when cardiac imaging exceeds office-based scope. Highest-acuity services include in-office cryotherapy and laser excision targeting dermal lesions flagged during full-body skin evaluations.
