Care Philosophy
"
In addition to keeping up-to-date on cutting-edge treatments, I am diligent and thorough, and I work hard to provide patients with comprehensive care. I am interested in my patients' day-to-day experiences and backgrounds, their families, communities and cultures of origin -- all of which enhance my ability to be an empathic and effective doctor."
-- Kira Stein, MD

"I have been a medical doctor for 13 years and feel very fulfilled by my work helping people reach and maintain mental health and balance. I chose psychiatry as my medical specialty because I thoroughly enjoy both the science of medicine and the application of psychotherapy - both effective tools that can be used independently or in combination to achieve emotional wellness. l am also very interested in the use of supplements (such as omega-3 fatty acids, certain herbs, vitamins and minerals), relaxation techniques and exercise in the management of mental health."
