Former assistant chief of psychiatry at Kaiser Permanente San Diego for twelve years, Dr Neil Alex, MD shaped the department's organizational structure in 1990 and practices in Allied Gardens at 4647 Zion Ave, 92120. He graduated from Washington University School of Medicine in 1970 and holds board certification in both child-and-adolescent psychiatry and adult psychiatry, with additional training in family therapy and a published research focus on clinical informatics. His pediatric ADHD evaluation and medication management caseload requires coordination with the broader San Diego medical infrastructure at facilities including East Campus Medical Center at UC San Diego Health in Grantville for neurological workups and developmental assessments. He spent 32 years as a partner in the Southern California Permanente Medical Group before transitioning to per-diem clinical work in 2011, a tenure during which he reorganized the psychiatry department's structure in a framework that remains in place across the Kaiser system. His published articles on the intersection of computers and psychiatry reflect a clinical-informatics interest that parallels Kaiser's system-wide electronic health records for behavioral health documentation. The Allied Gardens community surrounding the Zion campus is a mid-century residential area between Waring Road and Orcutt Avenue, where families managing pediatric ADHD and anxiety also access nervous-system care at Family Connection Chiropractic in the neighboring College Area. Patients schedule through Kaiser behavioral health at (619) 528-5000.
