Bio
As an adult, child, and adolescent psychiatrist I evaluate and treat patients of all ages with serious (and sometimes not so serious) mental health problems on a daily basis. Many of these patients have previously suffered serious consequences following a misdiagnosis, such as being prescribed the wrong type of medication or receiving improper psychotherapy. Since I am also a forensic psychiatrist, I am often the person called upon by the Court to explain how a diagnosis was missed or a treatment plan failed. Despite many changes in the field of medicine I still love being a physician and I believe this translates into being a better doctor!
