Dr. Ahmed Makhlouf, MD

Dr. Ahmed Makhlouf, MD

Psychiatrist
3252 Holiday Ct, San Diego, CA
I help adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric concerns, including people who have not improved with previous treatment. My approach is personalized and science-based, with time to understand your symptoms, goals, and what has or has not worked before. At Nexus Neurotherapeutics, we look beyond the diagnosis to understand what is driving your difficulties, what matters most to you, and what will help you move toward a fuller life. Your care is built around you, not a corporate treatment algorithm. I am a Mayo Clinic and Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist with 11 years of experience and former Medical Director at Harvard-affiliated Mass General Brigham. I offer thoughtful evaluation and individualized treatment combining psychotherapy, medication, lifestyle strategies, and, when appropriate, TMS and esketamine. You deserve psychiatric care with enough time to listen, think, and understand the whole picture. I built Nexus as a more personal alternative to large, impersonal systems without private equity or shareholders influencing your care. If you are looking for a thoughtful, collaborative relationship with your psychiatrist, I invite you to reach out.
