Dr. Richard A. Oddy | Resume Psychiatrists have been pressured to rely more often on medications prescribed during very brief visits, a “prescription” recommended by managed care insurance and pharmaceutical companies. However, Dr. Oddy views the relationship as central to treatment and recovery. Without time and attention to the meaning of patients ’ suffering, medication-based treatments in the end can fall short. Dr. Oddy does not compromise on the time or attention needed to evaluate or treat his patients’ or families’ symptoms or difficulties.Diverse Training, Outstanding Skills and Credentials Dr. Oddy combines the scientific knowledge of the human body as a physician, medication treatment (psychopharmacology), as well as experience and skills as a psychotherapist and does not compromise the best treatment practices in terms of developing a relationship with a patient, making a diagnosis and managing treatment options. Dr. Oddy trained as a physician at one of the top medical schools in the United Kingdom (University of Cambridge). There, in addition, he received a Master’s of Arts in neuropharmacology. Dr. Oddy trained as a psychiatrist at one of the top few psychiatric hospitals and residencies in The United States, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and also received psychoanalytic training in New York, at William Alanson White Institute.
He is certified in general psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, interdisciplinary pain management and psychosomatic medicine. As a specialist in psychosomatic medicine, Dr. Oddy is trained to link the difficulties that people are experiencing with medical illnesses and medical-related psychological illnesses, and has special interest in chronic pain and fibromyalgia. As a member of the American Holistic Medical Association, Dr. Oddy utilizes psychotherapy and pharmacological treatments within a holistic practice."
