Many patients come to me after not seeing results from previous providers or, worse, experiencing harmful care. They are drawn to my approach, which combines biological and functional psychiatry. I take the time to thoroughly explain their symptoms, treatment options, and the risks, benefits, and alternatives—often hearing that I provide more clarity than any provider they’ve seen before. I pride myself on thinking outside the box, focusing on uncovering the root causes of issues through a holistic approach rather than simply prescribing powerful psychotropic medications based on trial and error, which is far too common.
One of my favorite pieces of feedback is, "He treats me like a person, not a disease." We offer a comprehensive evaluation of the biological basis for illness. We also investigate often-overlooked causes of behavioral changes, such as heavy metal toxicities, medications from other providers, polypharmacy, and dose-response issues.
Give us a try and experience the results you deserve. Choose Alternative Psychiatry and Be Well!
