Summary

  • I am a board certified inpatient staff psychiatrist in San Antonio, TX. I am employed by the South Texas Veterans Health Care System as well as an Adjunct Associate Professor for the University of Texas Health Science Center of San Antonio where i have been providing clinical education for the past 14.5 years since graduating residency. I received my medical degree from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine and have been in clinical practice since graduating residency in 2009. My main location of care has been acute inpatient care though I also have experience managing a hospital CL service which additionally consulted to an ER. I am experienced in the care of military service members and veterans and I have a passion for teaching medical students, (psychiatry/neurology) residents as well as physician extenders. I am very experienced in management of crisis intervention, PTSD, psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, personality disorders, cognitive disorders and situational crises. I am well versed in the legalities of acute inpatient care as well as can navigate neuropsychiatric sequelae emerging from medical decompensation.
