Personal, Experienced Physician-Led Care
New Pathways MD is my telemedicine practice. You meet with me personally, and every follow-up visit is scheduled for a full 30 minutes. This allows for a deep, individualized partnership where we can discuss your progress, adjust your treatment plan, and ensure you are making the most of your mental health journey. I have been practicing Medicine for over 40 years, including many years experience with ketamine as an anesthetic and analgesic before focusing on Ketamine to support mental health for the last three years.
