About

In Chula Vista, Saben Laurence R, MD holds triple board certification in psychiatry, neurology, and child-adolescent psychiatry, practicing from Moss Street with a UC San Diego School of Medicine degree earned in 1973. His fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at UCSD Medical Center (1975-1977) informs treatment of developmental disorders, conduct disorders, and adolescent behavioral conditions — populations that sometimes require transitional psychiatric care during post-acute recovery at facilities such as South Bay Post Acute Care. Clinical affiliations with Paradise Valley Hospital and Sharp Grossmont Hospital provide inpatient privileges for cases requiring supervised detoxification or acute psychiatric stabilization. The practice scope extends to substance use disorders, tobacco dependence, personality disorders, and drug-induced dystonia — conditions demanding both psychiatric and neurological expertise. Pediatric ADHD and developmental delay cases benefit from neurocognitive support coordination with Brain Balance Center of Chula Vista, where structured sensory-motor programs complement pharmacological intervention. Complex diagnostic workups integrate EEG referrals for seizure-disorder rule-outs alongside psychopharmacological trials that titrate stimulants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers under dual-board neurological and psychiatric oversight.
