SETTING AND EXPERIENCE: I have maintained a half-time private practice of psychiatry in Newport Beach since 1992, after retiring from the University of California Irvine, College of Medicine. I have a broad experience in psychiatry and when at UCI was at various times in charge of outpatient psychiatry, an inpatient program, and psychiatric consultation at UCI Medical Center. SCOPE OF PRACTICE: I provide consultation and treatment for psychiatric disorders of all kinds. I specialize in diagnosis, medication management and psychotherapy. I do not hesitate to refer if I think that another mental health professional has more relevant expertise. I see many patients with anxiety and obsessional disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosomatic problems, attention deficit, adjustment problems, existential issues, and chronic pain problems. I do not work with children or patients over 80 years but refer them to specialists in child or geriatric psychiatry
