About

DeeAnn Wong, MD in Encinitas is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association holding dual board certifications in general psychiatry and child-and-adolescent psychiatry from the ABPN. Her UCSD psychiatry residency—where she served as chief resident—and UCSD child-and-adolescent fellowship built the clinical foundation for a Devonshire Drive practice that coordinates developmental assessments with pediatric providers including Children's Primary Care Medical Group. Loma Linda University School of Medicine training and the San Diego Psychiatric Society presidency from 2014 through 2015 anchor a career in academic and community psychiatry, with the San Diego County Medical Society's Physician of Exceptional Excellence designation held continuously since 2011. Consultant-reviewer work on Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology Prescriber's Guide: Children and Adolescents and medical directorship of the International Bipolar Foundation bring evidence-based pharmacological expertise to complex pediatric and adult mood-disorder cases. Voluntary Assistant Clinical Professor status at UCSD supplements patient care with resident supervision, while integrated treatment planning coordinates psychopharmacology with functional-medicine approaches at ActiveMed Integrative Health Center for patients requiring combined psychiatric and metabolic management. Complex pediatric cases involve multi-agent psychopharmacology regimens targeting treatment-resistant ADHD, bipolar spectrum disorders, and comorbid anxiety with dosing protocols guided by weight-adjusted pharmacokinetic calculations, metabolic monitoring panels, and standardized rating scales including the CBCL, Conners, and CDRS-R.
