Adema Family Medicine in Santee delivers osteopathic primary care from Suite M at 10201 Mission Gorge Road, led by Dr. Donald S. Adema, DO, a graduate of Western University's College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, class of 1991. Board-certified in family practice and osteopathic manipulative medicine, Dr. Adema combines hands-on OMT techniques with conventional diagnostics for musculoskeletal pain and chronic-disease management, referring treatment-resistant depression cases to transcranial magnetic stimulation at CalTMS on Cuyamaca Street. His clinical scope covers diabetes management, hypertension, cholesterol optimization, and immunizations for patients across the 92071 ZIP code, with hospital admitting privileges at Sharp Grossmont Hospital and Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center. The Mission Gorge Road location — Santee's primary commercial spine — sits within the same medical-office cluster as podiatry, counseling, and acupuncture providers at 10201 Mission Gorge Road. Oral-health coordination is integral to osteopathic whole-patient care, and Dr. Adema's diabetes patients receive periodontal-screening referrals through Lamassu Dental of Santee on Cuyamaca Street to address the elevated gum-disease risk tied to glycemic instability. Highest-complexity cases include osteopathic cranial manipulation for chronic migraine, OMT-based thoracic lymphatic pump techniques for post-pneumonia recovery, and multi-drug regimen optimization for patients managing five or more concurrent prescriptions.
