Brian S. Taylor, M.D. / Adult Psychiatry

YOUR HEALTH IN MIND.

An Award-Winning Doctor on your side

RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF AMERICA’S TOP PSYCHIATRISTS

YOUR PEACE OF MIND

“As a physician for over 30 years, I am dedicated to alleviating pain and suffering. Whether dealing with medical conditions or psychiatric syndromes, and in many cases, both, or interpersonal and intrapsychic conflict, your wellness is my primary concern. Patients want to be heard and understood, and I want to hear and understand my patients. Taking the time to perform a thorough psychiatric evaluation, discussing clinical impressions and making sure you understand all of your treatment options is how we begin. Together, we then work toward restoring your mental health, overall functioning and peace of mind.”

We are NOW offering telehealth psychiatry visits via Simple Practice, a HIPPA compliant telemedicine platform.
