About

Board-certified in psychiatry, Dr. Ivan S. Baroya, MD practices in Chula Vista's Eastlake area through the PsyCare group at the Fenton Street office that houses several behavioral-health clinicians serving the 91914 corridor east of I-805. His 1995 medical degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine and subsequent psychiatric training equip him for complex psychopharmacological management of bipolar disorder, ADHD, and psychotic-spectrum conditions, high-acuity prescribing that often requires cardiac-risk monitoring through Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego when patients take atypical antipsychotics or stimulant medications. Fluent in both Spanish and English, he provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management across culturally diverse populations in the South Bay. His treatment protocols for substance-use disorders and suicidal ideation integrate pharmacological stabilization with referral-based support, including integrative modalities at Urban Sage Acupuncture + Wellness for patients who benefit from acupuncture-assisted anxiety reduction alongside their medication regimen. Highest-complexity cases involve cross-titration of mood stabilizers with second-generation antipsychotics while monitoring QTc intervals via serial electrocardiograms to prevent drug-induced cardiac arrhythmia in treatment-resistant bipolar patients.
