Dental director of the San Diego American Indian Health Center, Dr. Chelsea Richardson, DMD leads a federally qualified dental program that accepts Medi-Cal through Care 1st, Community Health Group, and Molina alongside Covered California PPO plans at 2630 First Ave in Hillcrest. The SDAIHC integrated-care model combines dental, behavioral health, and family medicine under one roof, allowing the team to coordinate medically complex cases with primary care physicians at Hillcrest Medical Center at UC San Diego Health. Richardson trained at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, completed a public-health certificate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, holds Western Regional Examining Board certification, and rotated through the Winslow Indian Health Care Center serving the Navajo Tribe. Advancing periodontal disease cases outside the FQHC scope are referred to specialists such as Hillcrest Periodontal Health: Grant Danielle A DDS for surgical scaling and gum-grafting procedures. The integrated-care setting allows the dental team to coordinate full-mouth rehabilitations on patients with diabetes, cardiovascular comorbidities, and behavioral-health overlay that private offices typically refer out.
