Accepting new patients. In-network with Tricare and Major Insurance Payers
We specialize in advanced treatments designed for treatment-resistant depression and other mental health issues.
Dr. Hubbard has been practicing psychiatry in San Diego since 1981. He is considered by his peers to be an expert diagnostician and has treated thousands of patients with psychopharmacology.
He is a leader in the practice of TMS, having treated over 2000 patients.
TMS therapy is well tolerated and has been proven to be safe in clinical trials. The most commonly reported side effects related to treatment were scalp pain or discomfort during treatment sessions. These side effects were generally mild to moderate and occurred less frequently after the first week of treatment.
Our services are covered by most commercial health insurance plans in addition to Medicare and Tricare. Please have your health insurance information with you when you call to schedule an initial evaluation. Our staff will then check your benefits.
For medication management, your initial evaluation will take 30 minutes in most instances. If your provider believes that you will benefit from medication he will write a prescription during the first visit. Follow-up visits are typically one month later and for 15 minutes.
No, not every patient is a candidate for medication. Dr. Hubbard, Dr. Fanous or Rizwan Khan, PAC will conduct an evaluation and diagnose your symptoms. For some patients medication alone is warranted to alleviate their symptoms. Some patients who have experienced inadequate relief from medication or significant side effects from medication may want to consider TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), or Spravato, noninvasive, highly researched treatment for depression with no significant side effects. TMS and Spravato are covered by most insurance plans including Medicare and Tricare
