About

UCSD faculty psychiatrist at 8950 Villa La Jolla Dr, Suite C101, La Jolla, CA 92037, the eleventh individually listed academic physician at the UC San Diego Health Psychiatry outpatient clinic — a roster that now includes Drs. Bhakta, Reminick, Meruelo, Martinez, Schneeberger, Hendrie, Clark, Frank, Brar, Lee, and Castro. Dr. Shane Castro has no Google reviews. The UCSD department's cumulative Google profile count exceeds any other single-suite mental health operation in La Jolla, creating a search-engine footprint that compounds with each additional faculty listing. The academic model's defining advantage — clinical trial eligibility and subspecialty referral access — remains the primary reason patients choose C101 over the private groups upstairs. Donna Kashani, M.D. on Executive Square occupies the opposite end of the access-model spectrum: direct cell-phone scheduling, no insurance constraints, and a concierge format built for patients who prioritize immediacy over institutional infrastructure.
