Dr. Stuart D. Schafer, MD in Chula Vista holds dual board certification in general psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry from the Medical Center corridor. His subspecialty fellowship at USC/LA General Medical Center, completed in 1990 following a four-year psychiatry residency, covers the developmental diagnostic range that WishWell Counseling and Empowerment Center for Kids also addresses through therapy-based intervention across the South Bay. NPI 1053448969 and a University of Texas Health Science Center medical degree (Class of 1985) underpin clinical work in mood disorders, ADHD, and behavioral assessments for patients from early childhood through adulthood. The office at 730 Medical Center Court places the practice within the healthcare zone anchored by Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, where inpatient psychiatric services and emergency behavioral health resources operate on the same campus. Board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in both general and child-adolescent tracks qualifies the practice for complex multiaxial evaluations where developmental, pharmacological, and behavioral variables converge across pediatric and adult populations.
