A solo general-dentistry practice in San Diego's University Heights, Randal Russ, DDS operates by appointment only from 3038 Meade Ave without the digital-entertainment amenities that characterize larger multi-doctor clinics. Patients with medical co-morbidities that affect dental treatment planning — including blood-pressure management and anticoagulant therapy — coordinate care through family-medicine providers on the same mesa, including Susan Taylor, MD, whose family-medicine practice handles the systemic-health clearances that restorative and surgical dental procedures require. The practice covers preventive cleanings, cavity detection and composite-resin fillings, cosmetic procedures, and basic restorative dentistry from a wheelchair-accessible building in the 92116 ZIP. The Meade Ave address sits at the western edge of the Normal Heights community plan area where University Heights blends into the North Park commercial corridor along 30th Street. The solo-practitioner model means the same dentist handles every visit from initial exam through treatment completion, a continuity-of-care structure that multi-provider rotations cannot replicate. Facial and cervical muscle tension related to clenching and bruxism responds to manual therapy between dental appointments, and BaiBoon Thai Massage on Adams Avenue applies deep-tissue techniques to the masseter and temporalis muscles that clench-related jaw pain affects. The University Heights section of the Normal Heights community plan area draws its dental-patient base from the residential blocks between Hillcrest to the west and Adams Avenue to the north. Park Blvd and El Cajon Blvd run through this catchment as the primary commercial corridors.
