Board-certified OB-GYN, FACOG fellow, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant Dr. Samantha Thomson practices at 4168 Front Street in Hillcrest 92103 as part of UC San Diego Health's Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences. Her MD came from Medical College of Georgia in 2013, followed by an OB-GYN residency at the Washington University/Barnes-Jewish/St. Louis Children's Hospital Consortium from 2013 to 2017, training that shapes the minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, adolescent gynecology, family planning, and high-risk pregnancy management offered from within the same UCSD specialist network as UC San Diego Health Obstetrics and Gynecology – Hillcrest. The dual IBCLC credential means breastfeeding-support visits happen with the same clinician managing pregnancy and postpartum care rather than splitting lactation out to a third provider. Clinical focus areas include endometriosis treatment, abnormal uterine bleeding workups, fibroid-driven hemorrhage management including myomectomy, and robotic-assisted colporrhaphy. Newborns delivered under her care need pediatric primary-care continuity, a handoff typically routed within the corridor to CPCMG Hillcrest a few blocks south on Washington Street. The most complex cases combine high-risk antepartum management with intrapartum maneuvering for malpositioned or transverse presentations where vaginal delivery remains the goal.
