I am privileged to have a full time practice that enables me to focus on you as an individual. By having a streamlined office and a single physician attending to all aspects of your psychiatric care, the energy of the practice is devoted to taking care of you, the patient. By purposefully keeping my practice a certain size, I am typically able to offer new patients an appointment within one to two weeks and follow up appointments within one to two clinic days. My being independent from any particular group practice or large healthcare system allows me to refer my patients to whomever I believe will serve them best if a referral is needed for additional types care. My practice is driven by helping patients get better.
