UCSD faculty psychiatrist at 8950 Villa La Jolla Dr, Suite C101, La Jolla, CA 92037, practicing through the UC San Diego Health Psychiatry outpatient clinic that anchors the ground floor of the 8950 building. Dr. Meruelo holds both MD and PhD credentials, reflecting the dual clinician-scientist track that characterizes UCSD's academic psychiatry department — a research-integrated model that differs from the pure clinical practices at LifeStance and Mindpath on the upper floors. His individual Google listing is separate from the institutional UC San Diego Health Psychiatry profile, a common pattern among faculty physicians who maintain personal search visibility alongside their department's group listing. Patients in the 8950 building who want to pair UCSD-level psychiatric care with a non-academic therapy practice access the psychologists and counselors at Mindful Guides Therapy Center on Avenida De La Playa, whose holistic and somatic therapy modalities complement medication management.
