Among San Diego's longest-practicing board-certified psychiatrists, Dr. Leonard M. Rodin, MD has held California medical license G17051 since graduating from Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine in 1968 and practices in Allied Gardens at 4647 Zion Ave, 92120. His psychiatry residency at the University of Washington from 1969 to 1973 and transitional-year internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center preceded more than five decades of clinical work, and his caseload at Kaiser Permanente Zion has concentrated on psychological evaluations prior to bariatric surgery, coordinating psychiatric readiness assessments with primary-care referral pipelines at offices including A Shamani Inc in Allied Gardens. That bariatric-evaluation specialty involves assessing substance-use history, behavioral-change capacity, and mood stability before surgical teams proceed under NPI 1447327374. His broader scope includes psychiatric evaluation, psychotherapy, and medication management for mood disorders, anxiety, and adjustment disorders in adults. Hospital affiliations include both Kaiser Permanente Zion and Palomar Medical Center Poway, extending his inpatient privileges beyond the local campus. The Allied Gardens neighborhood places the Zion campus between Waring Road and the Interstate 8 corridor, a 92120 zone where chronic-pain and musculoskeletal patients also access care at Chiropractic Center for Health and Human Potential on the same side of the freeway.
