Orientation &
Approach
| After a number of
years experience combining medicine and psychotherapy in clinical
practice, my main are of interest is now in clinical research. At
Summit we conduct medication research studies in hopes of discovering
new and better ways of treating illnesses like depression, anxiety,
and Alzheimer's disease. Our goals are to discover new reliable
treatments to help improve the health of our patients and to provide
the highest quality care. We carefully select individuals who are
likely to benefit from our programs. Our staff provides every patient
with thorough assessments, careful monitoring during the study and
arrangements for appropriate follow up treatment once participation
has been completed. |
Personal
Comments
| In the over
30 years I have been involved in clinical practice and research, I
have learned a great deal about the roles of therapy and medicine in
the management of psychiatric disorders. Our mission at Summit is
three-fold: first, to continue the development of novel medicines to
treat more effectively the conditions of depression, anxiety, and
related illnesses such as obsessive compulsive disorder, panic, and
social phobia; second, to commit ourselves to providing the highest
quality care to the patients we see; and third, to provide education
and consultation to the medical community and to share the knowledge
we have gained. |
