George Papas, MD

Primary Care

About

Single-physician family practice running continuously since 1982 defines George Papas, MD at 4060 Fourth Ave Suite 605 in Hillcrest, a University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine (1974) trained general practitioner affiliated with Scripps Mercy Hospital. Chronic disease management for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and chronic pain carries the bulk of the panel, with arrhythmia workups routed to Jigar D. Patel, DO - San Diego Heart Rhythm Center for electrophysiology consultation and loop recorder placement. Routine physicals, Medicare Annual Wellness Visits, and preventive-care risk-factor assessments cover the healthy-adult side of the practice. Electronic medical records and e-prescribing through a single-physician workflow keep refill cycles and lab tracking anchored to one continuously present clinician across the full 1982-forward history of the practice. Refractory chronic pain presentations that exceed a primary-care pharmacologic ceiling move to multi-modal interventional programs at The Pain Center San Diego for epidural steroid injections, facet blocks, and radiofrequency ablation. The most involved visits manage elderly patients on ten-plus concurrent medications balancing anticoagulation decisions, renal dose adjustments, and age-related polypharmacy risk across multiple overlapping chronic conditions.
