“Clients I refer to Tony invariably say the psychiatrists they saw in the past did not create the kinds of relationships with them that Tony does. Many go with skepticism, having tried medication in the past without being helped. Tony is attentive to clients after prescribing, stays attuned to any effects his patients are experiencing, and quickly responds with necessary changes. I have watched people who had been intensively engaged in therapy for issues as diverse as severe PTSD, lifelong depression, and substance abuse, make further progress under Tony’s careful ministrations. It has been a pleasure to work with a pharmacologically informed provider who is so knowledgeable and responsive.”
