About

At 4147 Adams Avenue in Kensington, San Diego, Dr. Simona C. Deaciuc, MD provides board-certified psychiatric treatment for depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, insomnia, and ADD. She earned her medical degree from LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans in 1995 and completed her residency training in psychiatry at the same institution, with board certification through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Deaciuc has contributed to published psychiatric research, including a study on bupropion sustained release for bereavement in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, and her diagnostic process reflects that research orientation when evaluating grief-related depressive episodes. Oral health coordination is part of her care protocol for patients on psychotropic medications that carry xerostomia side effects, and the dental monitoring available at Kensington Dental Group supports that referral pathway within the same Kensington corridor. She practices within the Chao, Deaciuc & Raimo Medical Group, a four-physician psychiatric practice anchored on Adams Avenue between Marlborough Drive and Edgeware Road in the heart of Kensington's commercial district. The practice's 92116 location in Normal Heights provides ADA-compliant wheelchair access at the entrance and parking lot, and Dr. Deaciuc accepts new patients for both in-person and telehealth appointments. Her medication management approach covers antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotic medications, stimulants, and sedatives, with dosage titration calibrated to each patient's metabolic response and diagnostic profile. Patients integrating mindfulness techniques alongside psychiatric treatment access structured programming at Yoga Box, where guided meditation and breath work support anxiety and insomnia management as complements to pharmacotherapy. Dr. Deaciuc's NPI is 1285666263, registered under the California physician and surgeon license classification.
