Child and Adult Psychiatry
Sandy Plains Pediatrics is pleased to offer Child Psychiatry services to our patients. Mental heath is just as important as physical health. Many times, stress has a way for showing up as a physical problem like a headache or stomach ache. Problems like temper tantrums, anger meltdowns, or prolonged sadness can also be signs of very treatable medical problems.
Dr. Vincent Ho (child and adult psychiatrist) has years of experience treating medical problems like ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and Autism. Contact us for an appointment if you think your family may be interested in an evaluation and treatment. Sara Moore, PMHNP joined the practice in April of 2020. Allison Gilley, PMHNP joined us in March of 2021.
