Overview

overview

I have been on faculty in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in the UCSF School of Medicine since 1994, during which time my clinical home has been the San Francisco VA Hospital. I am a generalist outpatient psychiatrist, taking care of Veterans with a wide variety of clinical concerns, often working closely with incredibly talented UCSF psychiatry residents and medical students.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
