Psychiatrist serving Gaithersburg, MD
Thoughtful psychiatric care for Gaithersburg — biotech and IT professionals along the I-270 corridor, multi-generational families across Kentlands and the Lakelands, and MCPS students juggling demanding coursework. Telehealth across Maryland with in-person visits on request.
What we hear from Gaithersburg patients
Gaithersburg is one of the most internationally diverse cities in the state, with a workforce that runs from biotech R&D in the Shady Grove Life Sciences Center to NIST researchers off I-270 to small-business owners along Frederick Road. Families balance long commutes, school dropoffs across the upcounty MCPS clusters, and aging parents in nearby Rockville and Germantown.
Care from us is steady and unhurried. Visits run long enough to actually think through your situation. Medications get reviewed, not just renewed. We aim for plans you can describe to your spouse over dinner and feel good about.

How we work
- Board-certified prescribers. Each prescribing clinician is board-certified and licensed in Maryland.
- Patient-centered treatment plans. Your priorities, side-effect tolerance, and life context shape the plan — not a default protocol.
- Evidence-based, current. We follow APA guidelines and use measurement-based tools to track progress.
- Real follow-up cadence. Follow-ups are scheduled at clinically appropriate intervals, not parked weeks out by default.
- Coordinated with your team. We talk with your therapist and PCP when you authorize it.
Insurance & payment
We are in network with most major commercial plans common to Montgomery County employers, plus Maryland Medicaid. Visit the insurance page for self-pay rates and verification details.
Telepsychiatry across Maryland

Gaithersburg FAQ
How soon can a Gaithersburg patient be seen?
New evaluations are usually offered within five to seven business days. Early-morning and lunch-hour telehealth slots tend to go first for patients commuting on I-270 or the ICC.
I work in the Gaithersburg life sciences or technology corridor. Can visits flex around work?
Yes. A large share of our Gaithersburg panel works at biotech, cybersecurity, and federal-contractor firms along the I-270 corridor. Telepsychiatry from a private office, home, or parked car is the most common arrangement.
My child attends Quince Orchard, Northwest, Gaithersburg, or Watkins Mill. Do you treat adolescents?
We treat adolescents from age twelve and up. Common reasons we see students in the MCPS upcounty clusters include ADHD, anxiety, depression, and school-performance concerns. A parent or guardian attends the first visit.
Can you coordinate with my therapist or primary care doctor in Gaithersburg?
Yes. With your written authorization we send updates to your therapist and PCP after relevant visits, and we discuss medication changes when appropriate.
Are evening or weekend slots available?
We hold a limited number of late-afternoon and early-evening appointments Monday through Friday, and weekend visits on request. Tell us your scheduling constraints at intake and we will work within them where we can.
What insurance do you accept?
In network plans include CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Johns Hopkins EHP, Priority Partners, and Maryland Medicaid. We verify benefits before your first appointment.
