We treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD and substance use disorders (such as alcohol and opiate use disorders). See each our “conditions treated” tab for specific information on each specific psychiatric difficulty.
Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a private practice of Psychiatry that was founded in 2012 by Dr. Chris Pagnani, after he completed his training at The Johns Hopkins Hospital for their Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Over the last 12+ years, Dr. Pagnani has served as an Instructor at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, and has also focused his attention on private practice Psychiatry (originally in the Philadelphia area). The practice’s mission is to provide quality psychiatric care, by extremely well trained and qualified providers, who are academically oriented, practice holistic and evidenced-based psychiatric care, and are conscientious about the prescription of psychiatric medication. Most of our providers currently teach, or have taught, at The University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins Hospital or similar institutions.
Dr. Pagnani noticed during the Covid-19 pandemic, that large companies (in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and throughout the US) were offering telemedicine psychiatric appointments at a rapidly growing pace, but he was (and still is) very concerned about the manner in which many of them choose to do so. For example, he saw advertisements for “short evaluations,” “5 minute on-line surveys,” and even “subscription plans” for psychiatric medications. Psychiatry is extremely complex, and we do not believe that a thorough psychiatric evaluation can be completed in less than an hour (let alone via a “check the boxes” on-line survey).
Psychiatry is not one-size-fits all, and it is a mental health provider’s job, to deliver thoughtful, thorough and conscientious care, with the goal of always acting in the patient’s best medical interest. All this to say, that we are expanding our psychiatric services to Pittsburgh, Allegheny county and throughout PA, so that we can deliver this type of thorough, thoughtful and conscientious care to its residents.
