In practice since graduating medical school in 1981, Dr. Dale M. Apodaca, MD runs a primary care office in the Mission Hills corridor of Hillcrest at 3909 Henry St handling adult physicals, chronic disease management, and medication follow-up. Diagnostic imaging orders — chest CT, abdominal ultrasound, DEXA bone density — go to Imaging Healthcare Specialists - Hillcrest a few blocks north on Fourth Avenue for outpatient reads. Visit types focus on long-term patient relationships and preventive screening tied to age- and risk-appropriate USPSTF guidelines. Hospital-based studies and academic-center imaging workups route to UCSD Medical Center Rad when a finding needs tertiary radiology protocols or subspecialty second reads. The most demanding visits layer multiple comorbidities — hypertension, type-2 diabetes, atrial fibrillation, and prior cardiac history — into a single coordinated treatment plan across imaging, lab, and specialist follow-up.
