In place of accepting whomever you can get in to see on your Health Insurance Provider Panel, you will be investing in Upper Level credentials and experience.  Your psychiatrist will have obtained entrance into a Top 10 U.S. Medical School, trained in a Top 20 Residency Program, and have over 30 years of experience in settings ranging from Outpatient Clinics to State Hospitals, spanning the 4 corners of the country.  Your doctor will be pursuing Maintenance of Certification of his Board Certified status (almost all "grandfathered" Board Certified Psychiatrists do not do this).  His membership in the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association provides him daily e-newsletters of trends in Medicine and Psychiatry.
Additionally, your Psychiatrist will have practiced at various Hospitals in the Valley for over a decade, and cared for patients in their most critical moments.  He will have training and experience with Medications other Psychiatrists do not use; MAOI's, multiple mood stabilizer combinations, Clozapine,  Pramipexole, hi-dose thyroid augmentation, Pregabalin, etc.
​Genetic Testing, if indicated, can help us fine tune your treatment.
If your case is truly "Medication Resistant", we have the option of ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) by me.  If IV Ketamine, TMS, or Spravato is more appropriate, this will be suggested as an option.
I am easy to get a hold of by my dedicated email address for patients and colleagues which pings upon receipt of a message.  My cellphone number will be given in case of an urgency.
