Practicing at Kaiser Permanente's La Mesa Medical Offices on Parkway Drive, Kempiak Stephan J MD brings board-certified dermatologic care backed by dual MD and PhD credentials from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Kaiser Permanente's integrated-care system feeds dermatology cases through a single electronic health record, and referrals from on-campus primary care providers including Daniel Eugene Spencer, MD arrive with complete medication, allergy, and lab histories already in the dermatology chart. Trained during dermatology residency at UC San Diego Medical Center, the physician's published research covers cryosurgical treatment of rhinophyma, chemical peels for acne vulgaris, and microdermabrasion technique refinement. California medical license A102166 covers full-spectrum dermatologic scope, from biopsied mole evaluations and psoriasis management to phototherapy and cosmetic filler administration. The department receives escalated dermatology cases from Kaiser Permanente La Mesa Urgent Care when presentations such as suspected melanoma, severe contact dermatitis, or drug eruptions require biopsy and specialist-level diagnosis. Complex cases include Mohs-referral coordination for basal and squamous cell carcinomas, narrow-band UVB phototherapy protocols for refractory psoriasis, and excisional biopsy with margin analysis for atypical melanocytic lesions.
