About

Board-certified adult psychiatrist Robin Michelle Warner, MD practices in San Diego's Allied Gardens through Kaiser Permanente at the Zion Medical Center on Zion Avenue, 92120. Born and raised in San Diego with a father who coached at San Diego State University, she completed her undergraduate work in Spanish literature at Cornell University before earning her medical degree from the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo in 2004. Dr. Warner finished her psychiatry residency in Buffalo, where she directed a partial hospitalization program, then returned to San Diego to join the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group, integrating into a multi-disciplinary team at Kaiser Permanente Vandever Medical Offices that pairs psychiatric care with primary care and behavioral health nursing. Her adult psychiatry practice covers the full diagnostic and psychopharmacological spectrum, from major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety through bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and psychosomatic conditions. The Kaiser Zion campus on the Waring Road corridor integrates psychiatry, neurology, internal medicine, and pharmacy under one electronic health record, enabling coordinated medication management and laboratory monitoring for patients on complex psychotropic regimens. Dr. Warner's bilingual Spanish fluency expands psychiatric access for Spanish-speaking members in San Diego's east-county Kaiser network. Her work at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center includes crisis stabilization, partial hospitalization program oversight, and outpatient psychiatric follow-up within the integrated care model. Dr. Warner's prior experience directing a partial hospitalization program in Buffalo informs her management of patients transitioning between inpatient, PHP, and outpatient levels of psychiatric care.
