The Bloodless Medicine and Surgery Center at Sharp Chula Vista is the only one of its kind in San Diego County. Led by our medical director, Dr. Hugo Barrera, our surgeons have successfully performed open-heart surgery, joint replacement surgery and other complex bloodless procedures without the use of donor blood. Our entire bloodless team — including specially trained nurses, social workers and pastoral counselors — is committed to your personal needs and health concerns. We take pride in your trust and are dedicated to providing a health care experience that works for you.
