Dr. Reeyaz Esack

I’m a board-certified psychiatrist by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I completed my psychiatry residency at Virginia Commonwealth University, where I served as Chief Resident. Since 2018 I’ve worked as an inpatient psychiatrist at the Orlando VA Medical Center and taught as an assistant professor of psychiatry at UCF and NOVA. One of my fondest achievements during this time was receiving an award for excellence in teaching by UCF. I treat a variety of conditions including depression, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, PTSD and ADHD.

I combine thoughtful medication management with supportive therapy in the same visit, so we’re treating the whole picture. I explain my reasoning, talk through options and side effects openly, and make decisions with you. I use evidence-based treatments and check in regularly on how you're feeling and functioning, so we can see what’s working and adjust together. My goal is the simplest effective treatment. I love teaching, and I’ll strive to help you understand what’s happening and why, because I believe the more we understand, the less we suffer.

During your first visit, we’ll talk about what brings you in, your history, what you’ve tried before and what you’d like to work on. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s going on and a plan built around your goals, which may include medication, therapy or both. Visits are by secure video from wherever you're comfortable in Florida, so there is no commute and no waiting room.
