00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.560 align:center
Thank you guys for coming today

00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:02.880 align:center
for the grand opening of Option

00:00:02.880 --> 00:00:06.800 align:center
Psychiatry in Reading, Pennsylvania. This

00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:07.160 align:center
is

00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.530 align:center
a big milestone for me, but

00:00:09.530 --> 00:00:10.490 align:center
not just for me, but for

00:00:10.490 --> 00:00:12.050 align:center
the community. You know, I want

00:00:12.050 --> 00:00:14.730 align:center
people to have real options, evidence

00:00:14.730 --> 00:00:17.010 align:center
-based, effective care, medication

00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:18.430 align:center
management, introduction

00:00:18.430 --> 00:00:20.550 align:center
to TMS, which is transmedicine

00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:21.130 align:center
stimulation,

00:00:21.230 --> 00:00:22.770 align:center
and also I'm going to introduce

00:00:22.770 --> 00:00:25.550 align:center
ketamine, spavado, in the next couple

00:00:25.550 --> 00:00:27.270 align:center
of months. So I really want

00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:29.230 align:center
to be a part of the

00:00:29.230 --> 00:00:29.650 align:center
community.

00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:32.520 align:center
and help expand and help people

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.720 align:center
with their biggest struggle. There's so

00:00:35.720 --> 00:00:39.160 align:center
much stigma and just a lot

00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:41.320 align:center
of bad, negative thoughts about

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:41.960 align:center
depression,

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.500 align:center
anxiety, schizophrenia, and people are

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:44.740 align:center
really

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:46.240 align:center
struggling. They need help. They need

00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.900 align:center
love, compassion, and support. With

00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:49.440 align:center
options,

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.680 align:center
psychiatry, that's what I bring to

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:52.720 align:center
the community. That's what I bring

00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:54.640 align:center
to my patients every day. I've

00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:55.780 align:center
been a psychiatrist for the last

00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:57.940 align:center
12 years. It's been the greatest

00:00:57.940 --> 00:00:59.020 align:center
job of my life.

00:00:59.180 --> 00:01:00.500 align:center
I actually think it was one

00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:01.440 align:center
of the first jobs. Actually, I

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:02.600 align:center
was a bartender, but that's another

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.560 align:center
conversation. But it's the best job

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.440 align:center
I have. I work a lot.

00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:10.920 align:center
I work hard. I see many,

00:01:10.940 --> 00:01:12.080 align:center
many patients in a lot of

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:14.540 align:center
different settings. Options is my own

00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:16.240 align:center
set of practice, my private practice.

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.180 align:center
And I put a lot of

00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:22.040 align:center
work, I mean, hours into trying

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.480 align:center
to serve my patients and their

00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:24.980 align:center
families so that they all can

00:01:24.980 --> 00:01:25.820 align:center
have better lives.

00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:28.960 align:center
and enjoyed their workplace, their kids,

00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:33.720 align:center
their jobs, their communities. So thank

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:35.040 align:center
you very much for coming here

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:35.380 align:center
today.
