I graduated from medical school in Texas. I am board certified in ophthalmology and psychiatry. I was an eye surgeon for twenty years. I had to have emergency heart surgery. I was in surgery for seven hours. After long recovery I was left with hand tremor. As a result I could not do surgery, and I had to retire. After six months I was going crazy with boredom. I enrolled in a local university and took psychology courses for fun. I liked the psychology courses, and the department convinced me to enter their master program.

I am the only physician fully trained and Board Certified in both Psychiatry and Neurosurgery. I think that it is important for a physician to understand that each human person is unique and the result of a melding of Brain, Mind, and Spirit. I see patients that have primary Psychiatric disease and those with neurological disease manifesting psychiatric symptoms. Patients that have a neurological disease with psychiatric symptoms need to be treated with full understanding of what brain areas will and will NOT respond to various medications. My practice employs both medication management and Neurologically informed psychotherapy.

Hello there! I'm glad you're taking steps in your mental health journey and have found my profile. Recently, I've opened up spots for new patients and encourage you to call for a free consultation. I accept most major insurances, including Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross, and United to ensure care is accessible to all. I currently have some openings, and while I might be able to schedule you as soon as next week, I can't promise these slots will remain open for long—they tend to fill up quickly.

“What we Resist, Persists.” Anxiety and depression suck! When we suffer mental or emotional illness, it impacts every aspect of our lives. It makes us excessively worried, irritable, angry, and constantly ‘just not feeling good.’ It makes it difficult to do a good job at work and, most importantly, damages relationships with our friends, family, and loved ones. This is particularly important when it comes to raising our children. Anxiety and Depression impair our sleep, making the sense of fatigue and exhaustion worse. People often cope using too much alcohol or other drugs. Most importantly, it makes us feel isolated and alone.

Are your thought patterns due to ADHD or anxiety? When will that fatigue resolve? Which emotions are a product of your historical development, body physiology, brain chemistry, or your recent circumstances? Is it just all in your head? The circular reasoning of it on your own is draining. The answer to these questions isn’t more pills – it is gaining insight to help you choose the best course of action to reach your goal. If you wish to have honest discussions that will explore your background, consider your concerns and goals, and lead to safe and realistic solutions, then your success at Evolve Psychiatry is inevitable.
