Dr. Sameer Dongre

Hello all! My name is Dr. Sameer Dongre (M.D.) and I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist with a broad range of clinical experiences, and very passionate about my profession. Psychiatry can be complex and the goal of treatment is to manage the intensity, duration and frequency of symptoms to help individuals be more functional in their interpersonal and professional lives and also to be better versions of themselves. Common conditions I treat (but certainly not limited to) include Adult ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety/Panic Disorders, Substance Use Disorders, and Mood Disorders such as Depression and Bipolar Disorder. I am ready and available virtually 24/7 to diagnose, treat, and manage a full range of psychiatric conditions with medications, health education, and even therapeutic approaches if needed! :)

My approach is to allow the patient to express as much as they can about the main areas of concern that has brought them to get psychiatric help, all while I gently guide the conversation into important specific areas of inquiry and discussion. Along with modifiable life changes and therapeutic outlets, I do believe medications can be an important piece to the puzzle if they are warranted. I will spend time on discussing appropriate medication recommendations, side effects, alternatives, and will truly work with the patient to develop a treatment plan that they feel comfortable and happy with! :)

The first session can truly be an opportunity for the patient to genuinely speak and be heard in a calm, empathetic, non-judgemental setting. Ultimately the session will conclude with: 1.) A working psychiatric diagnosis (or diagnoses) 2.) Discussion of the medication treatment plan 3.) Prescriptions being sent to the patient's choice of pharmacy right away 4.) Arranging a follow up appointment!
