UCSD-trained and Stanford pain-medicine fellow, Scanlon Graham C MD in Point Loma, San Diego (CA license A101505) holds dual board certification in Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. That training arc — UCSD School of Medicine (2006), UCLA psychiatry residency, and Stanford pain-medicine fellowship — built the combined credential that accepts stepped-up referrals from community behavioral health networks including Mental Health Systems Inc. A California Society of Addiction Medicine member with published research on neurophysiologic correlates of headache pain in major depressive disorder, his clinical work bridges chronic pain and psychiatric illness. The dual addiction-medicine certification enables substance use disorder assessments, medically supervised withdrawal planning, and co-occurring psychiatric diagnoses under one provider — a combined caseload that feeds into the broader Point Loma psychiatric network alongside Alexander Papp, MD. His most complex cases involve patients presenting with overlapping opioid dependence, treatment-resistant depression, and chronic pain syndrome requiring integrated pharmacological management across all three domains.
