I was a patient of Dr, Joan Kuric's on and off from October 1996 to June or July 2013 with recurring clinical depression. I only stopped seeing her because I was moving from Chicago, IL to San Diego, CA. She helped me through some incredibly difficult leaves of absence, also due to low times in my depression. She asked questions that would lead me to solutions. She was a genius with medication management and I wish she had moved to San Diego as well. I referred a few friends to her as well because of my confidence and respect for her..
