(He/Him/His)
Psychiatrist
The best of mental healthcare in one place. At Geode, we combine full-spectrum psychiatry and talk therapy to better meet changing patient needs.
I am a Psychiatrist and have been providing mental health services for 49 years in outpatient and in home settings. I see Individuals and I address Addiction / Substance Abuse, Cognitive Disorders, Mood Disorder, Schizophrenia, Sleep Disorders. I believe that being a careful listener is the most important part of understanding my patient's problem, arriving and a diagnosis, and recommending a treatment plan. I have worked in a variety of settings and have experience in treating a broad range of mental disorders and substance abuse.
