About

Child and adolescent psychiatrist Dexter A. Jensen, MD sees patients within the Family Health Centers of San Diego site at 4065 Third Avenue in Hillcrest, an FQHC operating under NPI 1669827598. The location functions as the psychiatric arm of Hillcrest Family Health Center on Third Avenue, where mental health care shares a campus with HIV case management, dental, and substance use treatment. The under-eighteen caseload concentrates on medication management for ADHD, adolescent mood disorders, and early-onset psychosis, drawing primarily Medi-Cal, CCS, and county-contracted patients rather than commercial cash-pay. Step-down patients no longer needing integrated FQHC wraparound services are sometimes transitioned to independent psychiatric nurse practitioners on the corridor, with Bryan Amaro, DNP-PMHNP handling continuing medication management outside the safety-net layer. The Third Avenue site is one of two FHCSD Hillcrest psychiatric locations within 92103, supporting bilingual intake and on-site care coordination across the broader county safety-net system. The most complex work bridges UCSD Hillcrest inpatient psychiatric stabilization with FQHC outpatient follow-up, holding adolescents on consistent medication regimens through the post-acute crisis window.
