Double board certified in general and geriatric psychiatry, Edward Clark Allen, MD (NPI 1881781334) graduated with honors from the University of Texas Medical Branch School of Medicine in 1988 and now practices at UC San Diego Medical Center Hillcrest at 200 W Arbor Drive within the Senior Behavioral Health program. The geriatric psychiatry focus puts him on the same UCSD Senior Behavioral Health rotation as Meeks Thomas W MD, who covers the same age-65-and-older patient population through the academic medical center. Conditions seen most frequently include major depression in late life, neurocognitive disorder differential, post-stroke mood symptoms, and behavioral disturbances of dementia. He also operates an additional virtual general-and-geriatric psychiatry practice, providing telepsychiatry coverage for older adults outside the inpatient Senior Behavioral Health context. Call coverage and weekend rounding on the geriatric psychiatry inpatient unit are shared with UCSD geropsychiatry attending Maglione Jeanne E MD, providing multi-attending continuity for the older-adult inpatients. The most complex caseload involves severe behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia in patients with multiple medical comorbidities, where psychotropic dosing must be balanced against fall risk, delirium risk, and polypharmacy.
