Family Member Quote
“Dr. Smith is skilled at psychosis-based illnesses and is up to date on new medications and research. Most importantly, he is warm, funny, and very willing to work with you as a team. Our family highly recommends him! Another added benefit to those dealing with a psychosis diagnosis – he will prescribe clozapine, which many doctors are not experienced enough to tackle.”
