Meet Dr. Kwame Frimpong, MD

Psychiatrist | Addiction Specialist | Physician Leader

With over a decade of medical experience, I bring a uniquely broad and deep understanding of both mental and physical health.

  • Trained in Ghana across multiple specialties including surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and women’s health
  • Psychiatry Residency at Harlem Hospital Center (affiliated with Columbia University, New York City)
  • Chief Resident, leading clinical teams and mentoring physicians
  • Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (top program in Texas)
  • Current Addiction Director at John Peter Smith (JPS) Hospital in Fort Worth

I work at the frontlines of psychiatry and addiction care—treating complex cases daily, teaching physicians, and delivering results-driven, compassionate care.

Patients describe me as calm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in their success.
