Psychiatric Second Opinions & Diagnostic Consultations in Manhattan

Double Board-Certified Psychiatrist | Harvard Trained

​

I offer thorough, in-depth, and independent diagnostic evaluations and treatment reviews for individuals seeking a fresh look at their care. These can be simple one-time appointments or may take two or three meetings.

 

When to Seek a Second Opinion:

• Treatment feels stalled

• Persistent and bothersome side effects

• Need for diagnostic clarity

• Reviewing complex medication regimens

• Exploring medication reduction and tapering

• Unanswered questions about your care

 

What to Expect From Our Consultation:

A second opinion is a collaborative process. We will begin with your goals and priorities.

 

I will review your diagnosis, medication, therapy, and overall treatment plan within the context of your current stressors, lifestyle, and social connections.  This includes evaluating current and past treatments, medical history, and all medications (prescribed, over-the-counter, and supplements).

 

With your permission, I will speak with your current or past psychiatrist(s) or therapist. I can also coordinate with your primary care doctor, medical specialists (e.g., neurology, cardiology), or family members when helpful.

 

At the end of our consultation, I will provide comprehensive recommendations. You can use these insights to continue care with me or share them with your current treatment team to guide your ongoing care.
