Who are you, in one plain sentence?
Scripps Clinic in La Jolla is a major academic medical clinic on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, with a Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery staffed by board-certified vascular surgeons — though this entry requires verification to confirm whether any current practitioner has specific expertise in congenital vascular anomalies as distinct from acquired vascular disease.
Important note for this community
This entry was included in the Born Rare Medical Directory based on historical community referrals to Scripps La Jolla for vascular care. Scripps Clinic’s published Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery focuses primarily on acquired vascular conditions — carotid stenosis, aneurysm, PAD, venous insufficiency, DVT, and related conditions. We found no publicly described dedicated program for congenital vascular anomalies such as KTS, Parkes Weber, AVMs, or lymphatic malformations at this location. Worth asking directly before scheduling: whether any current practitioner has specific experience with your congenital syndrome, and what volume of such cases they see annually. This entry is listed at Confidence Tier 2 pending practitioner-level verification.
Who do you see?
Adults primarily, based on the published practice scope. Scripps Clinic is not a children’s hospital. Worth confirming: whether your specific condition and age profile falls within the current team’s scope.
How do I get in?
Scripps Clinic physician finder: 800-727-4777, Monday through Friday, 7am–7pm. Address: 9898 Genesee Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037 (John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion, campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla). Website: scripps.org/medical-groups/scripps-clinic.
What makes this entry worth knowing?
The West Coast — particularly Southern California — has historically had limited access to dedicated congenital vascular anomaly programs, with the nearest high-volume centers in Los Angeles (CHLA) and Salt Lake City (Primary Children’s). Scripps La Jolla has been referenced in community discussions as a local option for certain vascular presentations. Whether any current practitioner offers meaningful experience in congenital anomalies warrants direct verification. This entry exists to document that referral history and to prompt that verification.
In Their Own Voice
Scripps Clinic’s Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery describes its mission as providing comprehensive care for patients with vascular disorders involving all parts of the body outside the heart and brain. The division offers open and endovascular treatment for complex aortic and carotid disease, peripheral arterial disease, venous disorders including varicose veins and DVT, and related conditions. No dedicated congenital vascular anomaly program or birthmark clinic was identified in publicly available information as of July 2026.
Scripps Clinic is part of the broader Scripps Health system, which includes Scripps Green Hospital, Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, and several clinic campuses throughout the San Diego region. The system’s vascular surgery rankings from U.S. News & World Report reflect its overall cardiovascular care capability rather than specific congenital anomaly expertise.
