Russell J. Pizzo MD

UBMD Psychiatry

Hospital-based provider only
 

Professional Summary:

My expertise is in adult general psychiatry, inpatient psychiatry, medication management, and psychotherapeutic interventions for psychotic, mood, anxiety, substance use, and other psychiatric disorders. I spent additional time during training working in inpatient psychiatry, emergency psychiatry, and intensive care psychiatry working with psychosis and mania. I bring a unique background and approach to psychiatry and patient care given prior careers outside of medicine. I am also passionate about working with and teaching residents, medical students, and psychology trainees. I had so much support and important mentorship as a student and resident I hope to cultivate the same inspiration I experienced.
