Our company is based on the belief that our patients' needs are of the utmost importance. Our team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat patient and direct referrals.
 
CommuniCARE, LLC, an office-based psychiatric practice now based just outside of Sioux Falls.  We had previously been in Sioux Falls, SD since 1989 and after finishing my residency in 1992 was hired after Psychiatry Residency training by Dr. Fuller, who at that time was department chairman and worked as an assistant professor at the University Of South Dakota School Of Medicine giving direct didactic teaching to medical students and residents during that time.  I also had various medical directorships at Charter Medical Hospital and worked there for two years from 1995 to 1997..
 
During the years, and starting the last two years of residency, I did publish numerous peer review articles, whichwere focused on patients that I had in regards to thyroid difficultiesin psychiatric patients as related to their specific illness and disease in psychiatry. These articles are as follows:
 
1.   Postpartum Psychosis and Postpartum Thyroiditis.  The authors in the article were RobinaBokhani,Vinod S. Bhatara, myself and J. Michael McMillin, Endocrinology.  All were professors at the University Of South Dakota School Of Medicine.  This article was published in psychoneuroendocrinology Volume 23, Number 6, pages 643-650, 1998.
 
2.   One of the first few articles I published also was in the Journal of Child and Adults in Psychopharmacology in 1993 with Dr. Vinod S. Bhatara and Dr. Michael McMillin, who was recently deceased, who was an endocrinologist, and myself.  This was a case of psychosis associated with untreated hypothyroidism in a young adolescent boy.  This was a presentation of myxedema psychosis, otherwise known as myxedema madness.  The date of this publication was 1993; page 199 through 212 and this paper was published in the Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, Volume 3, Number 4, 1993.  The title was Psychosis Associated with Untreated Hypothyroidism in a Young Adolescent: A Review of Neuropsychiatric Findings in Children and Adolescents with Thyroid Disorders.
 
3.   Another article that was published in the Journal of Pediatrics was ADHD and the Thyroid and that was also Dr. Bhatara, Dr. Kumar, Dr. McMillin and myself published in the Journal of the American Academy Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 1994, page 1057 to 1058.
 
4.   Another article that we had published was Learning Disorders and the Thyroid, April 1996.  This was after my residency training, in which we published in the Journal of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Volume 35, issue 4, pages 406.
 
5.   Another article that we had published was Psychosis Associated with Untreated Hypothyroidism in a young Adolescent:  A Review of Neuropsychiatric Findings in Children and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, Volume 3, Page 199-212.  
 
6.   Also there was a paper that was presented by Dr. Bhatara, Dr. McMillin and myself in 1994, in which The Assessment of Thyroid Function in Pediatric Patients, An Update, presented in the Asian Congress of Pediatrics, February 1994 in New Delhi, India.
 
7.   There was also a poster presented at the 70 Meeting of the American Thyroid Association in Colorado Springs in which it was a case report regarding thyroxin therapy aggravating it to ADHD hyperactivity disorder and other psychiatric symptoms in pediatric patients, a case studies report.
 
 8.   We had also published possible interaction between sertraline and tranylcypromine by Dr. Bhatara and myself in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacy, Volume 12, March 1993, in which we presented a case report of a gentleman who currently had been taking MAO inhibitors and was accidentally prescribed sertraline by a young resident and this case was actually the third case in the world of a patient that was reported not dying from this interaction and there were reasons that we presented of why this was the case.
 
9.   Also, I published an article in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, a monthly publication, outlining various possible reactions between psychiatric medications and incidental reports in which we had documented the case with the gentleman with the interaction between MAO inhibitors and sertraline.
 
 
So, as you can see I have had not only a decent amount of research experience but also some very, very intensive clinical work while  I have sustained a busy inpatient practice at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine from 1992 until approximately 1997, in which I decided to start a practice of my own assisted by my wife, who is a clinical licensed social worker.  We had been in Sioux Falls until approximately the end of 2006, at which time we moved to a location that was in a building that was built by myself, which was closer to my home.

So, as you can see I have had not only a decent amount of research experience but also some very, very intensive clinical work while  I have sustained a busy inpatient practice at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine from 1992 until approximately 1997, in which I decided to start a practice of my own assisted by my wife, who is a clinical licensed social worker.  We had been in Sioux Falls until approximately the end of 2006, at which time we moved to a location that was in a building that was built by myself, which was closer to my home.  I do see a significant amount of patients from outside the city.  Patients from the Tri-State area, from Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota, upper South Dakota to include Watertown, Aberdeen, Madison and extending all the way to Western South Dakota.  So, our location along Interstate 29 has been a benefit for patients and also I do provide flexible hours for patients and I have also recently preceptored medical students from various medical schools to include osteopathic and allopathic students in my current outpatient-only clinic.Currently, we will be soon hiring on a Nurse Practioner trained in South Dakota.  My current experience, which involves office and inpatient experience from approximately 1989 to 1997, as well as now strictly office setting, has allowed me the wide experience of psychiatric difficulties and problems as well as specific difficulties encountered only in outpatient medicine, and of course inpatient practice, of which I have had extensive experience also, and also research experience as well as some teaching involvement.  I have been also involved in quite a lot of forensic medicine and am a Diplomat of the American Board of Forensic Medicine as of January 25, 1997 and I have held that status ever since.
