As a parent, I know you want the absolute best care for your child’s mental health. Sometimes, however, you may feel uncertain about a diagnosis or treatment plan. Therefore, seeking a second opinion becomes essential for your peace of mind. My Beverly Hills practice specializes in providing comprehensive second opinions for children and adolescents throughout Los Angeles. Additionally, I understand the weight of these decisions and approach each case with fresh eyes. Furthermore, my extensive experience in pediatric psychiatry and adolescent psychiatry allows me to offer valuable insights that may change your child’s treatment trajectory.

Getting a second opinion doesn’t mean questioning your current doctor’s competence. Instead, it demonstrates your commitment to finding the most effective path forward. Consequently, I review all previous evaluations, test results, and treatment histories thoroughly. Then, I conduct my own comprehensive assessment using evidence-based diagnostic tools. Moreover, I take time to understand your child’s unique circumstances and family dynamics. Subsequently, I provide clear explanations about alternative diagnoses or treatment approaches you might consider. My goal is helping Beverly Hills families make fully informed decisions about their child’s psychiatric care.

What sets my second opinion consultations apart is my collaborative, non-judgmental approach to complex cases. Specifically, I’ve treated patients from diverse backgrounds across Los Angeles, giving me broad perspective on treatment outcomes. Also, I stay current with the latest research in children’s psychiatry to offer cutting-edge insights. Meanwhile, I work respectfully with your existing treatment team when appropriate. Additionally, I provide detailed written summaries of my findings and recommendations for future reference. Above all, I ensure you leave feeling confident about your next steps in your child’s mental health journey.

My Beverly Hills location makes accessing expert second opinions convenient for Los Angeles area families. Furthermore, I understand the urgency parents feel when their child isn’t improving with current treatment. Therefore, I offer timely consultations to address your concerns promptly. Additionally, my experience with adolescent psychiatry helps me identify issues that might be overlooked in traditional evaluations. Finally, I remain available for follow-up questions as you navigate implementing new treatment recommendations. Together, we’ll ensure your child receives the most appropriate and effective psychiatric care possible for their unique needs and circumstances.
