D.O.’s (doctors of osteopathic medicine) are physicians who practice medicine according to a preventative and wholistic philosophy. I went into osteopathic medical school specifically due to that approach to doctoring, and because of that philosophy I am able to provide more than just routine psychiatric care. Besides medication, I can recommend therapeutic approaches, supplements that are helpful for mental health and am knowledgeable about nutrition. I like spending time with my patients and listening to them because I am interested in them as individuals.
My goal as an osteopathic psychiatrist is to treat the whole person, not a symptom only. I can understand somatic and mental health symptoms that may not make sense to other doctors and can provide a helpful and comprehensive treatment plan for your mental health issues. I believe I bring an extra dimension to a person's mental health care through my knowledge and unique experience and skills.
