About

Zvjezdan Nuhic, MD practices psychiatry in Chula Vista from a Tierra Del Rey office, holding board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and a medical degree from the University of Tuzla Faculty of Medicine (1985). His residency at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn (2003–2007) shaped expertise in psychotic disorders, PTSD, and bipolar management — diagnostic categories that often require coordinated talk-therapy referrals through group practices such as LifeStance Therapists & Psychiatrists Chula Vista. Multilingual fluency in Bosnian, Croatian, and Spanish enables direct-language psychiatric evaluations for South Bay immigrant and refugee populations without interpreter intermediaries. As a Sharp HealthCare-affiliated provider, he maintains clinical privileges at Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital, the region's dedicated inpatient psychiatric facility for acute stabilization and detoxification. That Sharp affiliation extends his prescribing coordination across the system's inpatient and outpatient services anchored by Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center on Medical Center Drive. Pharmacological management encompasses atypical antipsychotic titration for treatment-resistant psychosis, SSRI/SNRI optimization for comorbid depression and PTSD, and mood stabilizer protocols for rapid-cycling bipolar spectrum disorders requiring serial serum-level monitoring.
