Driving Innovation: NextMed and Sharp HealthCare Transform Specialty Care
As San Diego solidifies its reputation for healthcare excellence, the intersection between independent practices and major health systems has never been more critical. At the forefront of this evolution is NextMed, a specialized medical ecosystem designed to empower private practices and foster collaboration with regional leaders such as Sharp HealthCare.
A Premier Multi-Specialty Hub
NextMed marks a new era of collaborative healthcare, bringing together several of the region’s leading medical providers under one roof. Located at 5643 Copley Drive in San Diego, the campus serves as a comprehensive destination for patients, featuring a premier lineup that includes United Medical Doctors (Urgent Care and Multi-Specialty Clinic), Rejuvenate Plastic Surgery, 4M Dental Implants, Ortho 1 (Medical Group and Physical Therapy), and the San Diego Sleep Study Center.
This unique environment allows independent specialists to thrive within a state-of-the-art infrastructure designed for innovation. Central to this ecosystem is the newly opened Sharp San Diego Surgery Center (SSDSC). Occupying 18,643 square feet within the NextMed facility, this world-class outpatient center features five “first-in-class” operating rooms dedicated to Orthopedic Surgery, Total Joint Replacement, and ENT.
“Our goal at NextMed has always been to create a space where the highest caliber of independent medicine can flourish,” says Scott Leggett, CEO of NextMed. “By aligning our innovative environment with the clinical excellence of Sharp HealthCare, we are providing San Diegans with a seamless experience that combines the scale of a major health system with the personalized care of private specialists.”
Serving the San Diego Community
The integration of the SSDSC into the NextMed campus reflects a commitment to making high-
quality specialty care more accessible and convenient. We invite the San Diego community to experience this new standard of care, where advanced technology meets a patient-centered environment.
