Primary care physician Stephen Crawford, MD, runs an independent adult medicine practice at 355 Dickinson Street in Hillcrest, directly adjacent to the UC San Diego Health hospital block. Crawford keeps a low-volume office focused on longitudinal care, coordinating admissions, specialty consults, and surgical handoffs into Hillcrest Medical Center at UC San Diego Health across the street. The practice model centers on annual physicals, chronic disease management for hypertension, diabetes, and lipid disorders, and preventive screening referrals for colonoscopy and cross-sectional imaging. Acute events outside office capacity -- chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe trauma -- are triaged directly to the emergency department at Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego a few blocks south on Fifth Avenue. Medicare-aged patients with multiple comorbidities receive integrated follow-up across cardiology, nephrology, and hospital medicine without leaving the Dickinson-Arbor medical corridor.
