Telemedicine During COVID-19 Pandemic
In compliance with San Diego County recommendations, my medical practice continues to use general infection precautions such as masks for indoor appointments and use of outdoor spaces. While in person appointments are often more useful, we can also meet by Telehealth when needed.
Thank you,
Joshua D. Feder, MD

This podcast is inspired by my experience with patients who report as part of their history that they are themselves a collection of several personalities that know each other and take turns.
Most migrant children and teens experience trauma in their home counties and en route to the US.. My latest book, co-edited with Drs Cary and Ward, helps you see the world through their eyes and provide them with meaningful mental health care.
