About

Geriatric psychiatry is the fellowship-trained subspecialty Dr Annette Pozos, MD brings to San Diego's Allied Gardens at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center, 4647 Zion Ave, 92120. She graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine in 1990, completed a transitional-year internship at Scripps Mercy Hospital from 1990 to 1991, a psychiatry residency at UC San Diego Medical Center from 1991 to 1994, and a geriatric psychiatry fellowship at UCSD from 1994 to 1995. That geriatric fellowship equips her to manage late-life depression, anxiety in aging populations, dementia-related behavioral disturbance, and medication interactions in patients on complex multi-drug regimens, a scope that connects her clinical work to senior-living facilities including Atria Collwood in the College Area. Board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, she also treats general adult psychiatric conditions within Kaiser's integrated care model, covering mood disorders, anxiety, and adjustment disorders across the full adult age spectrum. Prescriptions coordinate through the system's in-house dispensary at Kaiser Permanente Vandever Medical Offices Pharmacy, where geriatric polypharmacy monitoring is built into the dispensing workflow. The Zion campus sits between Waring Road and Orcutt Avenue in a family-residential section of Allied Gardens accessible from the Interstate 8 freeway corridor. Appointments route through Kaiser behavioral health at (619) 528-5000.
