Mr. Stephen F Signer

Dr. Signor was assigned to my family member in a hospital. He made decisions to cut our family member's psychiatric medications in half, based on medical mistakes pertaining to an EKG reading. Following the removal of our family member from this hospital (Mesa Vista) I had it confirmed by an electrophysiologist that the EKG was interpreted incorrectly at the hospital. Dr. Signor recommended that our family member be placed in a longterm treatment facility (locked up). Actually, later, on an appropriate medication regimen, the family member proceeded to live a productive and full life for the past years, which he had also led for the majority of his adult life, once on correct medications. Dr. Signor removed those and did not communicate AT ALL with his conservator or family. It was a terrible experience. I do not feel his judgement can be trusted at all.

Dr Signer is an excellent doctor with empathy and that is one quality many doctors have lost throughout the years of practice but Dr signer has managed to keep his compassion and empathy with his patients. He reminds me of the very medical doctors that represented a great physician in the past brought back to the present.

Excellent clinician with empathy, warmth and insight. Quite bright and has been copacetic for me. Rather non-judgmental in the best sense. Those who deride him are likely patients who feel threatened by someone with a superior intellect and fine credentials. True, the (erstwhile) PCSD management regimen has flaws, and scheduling can be an issue. Nonetheless, those seeking a fine psychiatrist who brings a welcome "haimish" approach to the fore will find that he is excellent.

Dr. Signer is willing to listen to my concerns and change interventions if I’m struggling with any medications. Coming from the VA health system, it’s great to have a doctor who doesn’t tell me there are limited treatment options. I feel really confident asking questions and sharing my thoughts on medications. Mental health, for many of us, is a chronic and ongoing issue. Dr Signer is a consistent doctor who gives people like me hope.

My Dr is very thorough with all my symptoms and answers all my questions.

I think this doctor is wonderful. He is thoughtful, insightful and kind. He listens to me, answers my questions and when I want to try something new, he is receptive. Best psychiatrist I have found in San Diego and I have had to try a few before finding Dr Signer. I highly recommend.

Steer clear. Based on prior good experience with PCSD, I assumed any of their group physicians could manage my maintenance medications adequately. Terrible assumption! Im probably one of the least time-consuming patients a doctor could hope for. Every three months, take 10-15 minutes of my doctor’s time to say I’m doing ok on two meds for anxiety/depression. One med cannot be refilled so I must call, each month, to request new scrip be filled at local pharmacy. You’d think a highly-educated doctor could enter the prescription in the computer and have it sent to my local pharmacy. WRONG!!! I asked why does this keep happening? Turns out “mail order” is the default and first item in the doc’s drop down menu. Friendly reminders “please don’t choose the top item for mail order...send to my local pharmacy” don’t work. His inattention to detail has put me in withdrawal at least a dozen times over three years. GO ELSEWHERE if you value sanity. I’M DONE!

Horrible doctor I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. My son was going through a mental crisis and doctor signer didn’t care about helping him as he was the assigned doctor to my sons case, He never returned my calls as I tried to reach him several times, he did not change his medication and asked me what medicine he should give him... He is the doctor! He then said my son was “severally ill” then he hung up on me. He is very unprofessional. Do not go to Doctor Signer

Seen this Dr several times the past 2 years. He is mostly late on keeping up on his appointments.

His office help is very poor but he makes it all worth it. After I finally got in he got straight to the point and helped me immediately. Best psychiatrist I have every been through. Well worth putting up with his office staff!

Dr. Signer spends a fair amount of time talking about himself and seems to enjoy showing off his intellect and wit versus really getting to know his patients.
