We are ideal psychiatrists to treat patients who long for the time and space to be heard. Who want all their symptoms and concerns addressed, but never seem to find the psychiatrist who gives them the time of day. We take pride in our ability to adjust our pace to our patients' needs and to provide them a safe space to talk. Although as physicians we prescribe medications, we in no way, push medications on patients. We come up with a treatment plan together which may or may not include medications.
