SHARON PACKER, MD
I am a physician and psychiatrist who is board-certified in psychiatry. I also did a medical school elective in endocrinology and did additional residency training in ob-gynecology and so am well-versed in both the psychiatric issues and medical complications of eating disorders. I start with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation that includes a detailed medical history. I offer state-of-the-art medication management for binge eating disorders. I also carefully evaluate everyone for substance use disorders that often accompany eating disorders and recommend treatments in a non-judgmental way or refer people for additional treatment when needed. I am familiar with managed care concerns about eating disorders, and can negotiate with managed care organizations to help pts gain access to higher levels of care (IOP or IP), when necessary. I use structured, cognitive techniques to help pts tailor individual approaches to their eating problems. I am also an artist whose work has been exhibited in several museums, and so I also offer an art-related adjunctive course on "Image and Identity" to appropriate patients. To ensure patient safety, and to evaluate all possible medical and dental complications of eating disorders, I coordinate care with internists, endocrinologists, and gynecologists. I have been a physician for 30+ years, and served as a psychiatrist consultant to colleges and have extensive experience in treating college-students. I offer out-patient treatment at a convenient location at Union Square in Manhattan and accept several types of insurance for some of the many types of services offered.
