Summary

  • Patients that I see want to get better and find out why they are having problems. My practice is largely devoted to mood and thought disorders. I am a minimalist when it comes to using psychiatric medications. I am often seeing folks who are either over-medicated and/or on the wrong types of medications. The 2 letters after my surname are M and D. To me, these letters not only stand for Medical Doctor, but almost more important to me, is they stand for Medical Detective.

    A patient with a mood, behavioral, or cognitive disorder may have an underlying medical disorder that is either the root of the problem or exacerbating the condition. As a Board Certified Family Physician with a focus on mental health, I am trained to look at all organ systems which includes the brain. I want to help you find the root cause of your concerns so that you feel better.

    My philosophy is simple: Spend real quality time with patients, listening and taking notes and getting to know them, which includes their life, family and work. I do not use the computer during our visit because I want to establish genuine rapport with folks. My patients are my resident experts. I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you.
