About

Psychiatrist-in-Chief role across UC San Diego Health and board certification in both Adult and Geriatric Psychiatry anchor Steve Koh, MD, MPH, MBA, an HS Clinical Professor in the UCSD Department of Psychiatry practicing from 350 Dickinson St Suite 3-325 on the Hillcrest medical campus. Korean-language patient capacity widens access for San Diego's Korean-speaking community and routes referrals from primary care teams throughout the UCSD Hillcrest footprint, including the multi-specialty groups at UC San Diego Health 4th & Lewis Medical Offices across the same campus. MD from UC San Diego in 2006 followed by a UCSD geriatric psychiatry fellowship frames the clinical lane around late-life mood disorders, dementia-related behavioral disturbance, and the medication-cognition tradeoffs that define geriatric psychopharmacology. Administrative oversight of the East Campus Behavioral Health Hub and behavioral health operations across Hillcrest, La Jolla, and East Campus places the practice at the system level for workforce development, intersecting with the schizophrenia-research lineage of UCSD psychiatry colleagues including Braff David MD on the same faculty. The hardest case mix involves geriatric patients with cognitive decline overlaid on lifelong psychiatric illness, where ECT candidacy, cumulative medication burden, and capacity assessments must be balanced against caregiver realities and the patient's own end-of-life preferences.
