Philosophy:
I am a board certified physician and scientist who specializes in the diagnosis and pharmacologic management of psychiatric illnesses. Guided by the principles of evidence-based medicine, I treat a broad range of psychiatric disorders, including those listed above. Moreover, I have substantial clinical experience managing complex neuropsychiatric syndromes, particularly in those individuals with a coexisting neurologic disease. Related to this clinical expertise, I have also published extensivly in the fields of developmental neurobiology, neuropharmacology, and neurogenetics. I am currently accepting new patients seeking evaluation and treatment or "second opinions," as well as, referrals for forensic consultation.
