    Philosophy of care | I bring a multi-disciplinary, patient-centered approach to the practice of psychiatry. I keep up with advancements in this exciting and rapidly changing field to provide you the best evidence-based care. I value patient education, so do my best to keep you involved in decision-making regarding your treatment plan. | Why I entered medicine | My caring nature and thirst for medical knowledge made the health care profession a perfect fit for me. Even as a child I pictured myself as a doctor. I was in awe of doctors: their knowledge, skill and ability to not only save lives, but also support and teach the patient and family. Sadly, from a young age, I also became aware of the limits of medicine when doctors and resources are few. The deaths of two of my family members underscored the critical importance of having plenty of skilled doctors who put patients first. That motivated me to study hard and devote myself to the medical field. | Community involvement | I have volunteered as a physician at Amr ibn al-Aas Mosque charity clinics, treating the needy. I also have spearheaded fundraising to support the victims of violence in the Middle East. | Personal interests | In my spare time I enjoy playing and watching soccer, swimming and snorkeling, and camping and hiking. I organize summer camping and hiking trips as extracurricular activities for medical students. I also enjoy reading, especially historical articles.

    What is the definition of Bipolar Disorder (BPD)?

    Bipolar disorder is a mental condition in which a person has wide or extreme swings in their mood. Periods of feeling sad and depressed may alternate with periods of intense excitement and activity or being cross or irritable.

    When should I see a Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor near Pottsville, PA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor near Pottsville, PA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctors near Pottsville, PA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctors near Pottsville, PA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor near Pottsville, PA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor near Pottsville, PA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctors near Pottsville, PA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Bipolar Disorder (BPD) doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
