About Anne-Marie Giuca, MD
Anne-Marie Giuca, MD, is a psychiatrist who mainly sees patients 65 and older with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also treats anxiety, memory disorders, psychosis (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder), grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
She is passionate about providing patient- and family-centered care to older adults and addressing health care disparities impacting them. "I enjoy exploring the rich life experiences that my patients have accumulated over their decades of life and understanding the ways these experiences have shaped them into the person sitting in my office," she said. "I also enjoy guiding patients through the life transitions that accompany aging; I am always learning from the wisdom that my patients share as well. It is important to me to collaborate with them to develop treatment plans that build upon their strengths and address each person's unique goals, values, and circumstances."
Dr. Giuca completed a fellowship in geriatric psychiatry at UC San Diego School of Medicine and her residency was at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, where she served as chief resident. She earned her medical degree at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, where she participated in their Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH) program. She was an American Association of Geriatric Psychiatry Honors Scholar in 2021.
She is a member of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry.
In her free time, Dr. Giuca enjoys playing the piano, baking and reading.
