American Board of Family Medicine certification backs Michelle Cao MD's adult and family primary care practice inside UC San Diego Health's 4th & Lewis Medical Offices at 330 Lewis Street in Hillcrest. Advanced imaging orders for abdominal, musculoskeletal, and breast workups route through McGrath Outpatient Pavilion at UC San Diego Health on First Avenue, the outpatient hub UCSD uses for same-campus specialty imaging. Family medicine scope covers hypertension, diabetes, lipid management, preventive screenings, women's health annuals, and acute visits for adults across the Hillcrest panel. Cardiac workups for new murmurs, chest pain, or abnormal EKGs route to cardiology groups such as San Diego Heart and Vascular Associates for echocardiography and stress testing. Hospital admissions flow through Sharp Memorial Hospital and Sharp Coronado Hospital when inpatient care is required. The most involved caseload manages patients with overlapping cardiometabolic disease — uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, and early chronic kidney disease — where primary care drives coordinated specialty referrals across multiple systems.
