Board-certified internist Brenda B. Watts, MD provides adult primary care in La Mesa's Grossmont area from Sharp Rees-Stealy's fourth-floor offices, bringing a UC San Diego School of Medicine education (Class of 2010) to the Grossmont Center Drive campus. The internist's chronic disease panel management generates referrals to cardiology and endocrinology specialists in the Grossmont medical corridor, including cardiovascular risk stratification consultations with Payam Mehranpour, MD - La Mesa Cardiac Center for patients presenting with resistant hypertension or arrhythmia. Sharp Memorial Hospital and Sharp Grossmont Hospital affiliations provide dual inpatient admitting pathways, enabling transfer to the facility best equipped for the presenting condition's acuity level. Apolipoprotein and advanced lipid subfraction testing supplements standard cholesterol panels, and A1c monitoring drives titration protocols for the diabetes management cases that represent a high-volume segment of the internal medicine practice. Geriatric and homebound patient medication coordination extends to home health agencies operating in the East County service area, including SYNERGY HomeCare for post-hospitalization transitional care support. Highest-tier capabilities include JNC-8 hypertensive crisis triage, KDIGO-staged chronic kidney disease co-management, and USPSTF-guided cancer screening protocol implementation using digital breast tomosynthesis ordering and Cologuard molecular stool DNA referral pathways.
