About Me
Alexander B. Rose, MD, MPHS is a forensic psychiatrist providing both clinical and medical-legal services. His approach begins by taking ample time to obtain a thorough understanding of who you are as a person from a variety of perspectives. He values making sure that every patient is informed and understands the meaning behind every diagnosis and the reasons for why certain treatments are recommended over others. If you are looking for a psychiatrist who is compassionate, takes the time for thorough patient education, and is an all around psychiatry "nerd," you’ve come to the right place.
Dr. Rose's approach begins with careful and correct diagnosis while applying an advanced knowledge of and appreciation for psychiatric nosology (the fundamental classification of disease that includes but goes beyond the DSM-5); this necessarily includes a holistic understanding of every patient's biological, psychological, social, and philosophical factors, which is then followed by judicious and appropriate use of medications and other interventions as informed by the best available research. Through a sophisticated and passionate love of psychopharmacology, he tries to use the fewest number of medications dosed as effectively as possible.
Dr. Rose has a keen interest in multiple religions and world philosophies, both theistic and atheistic. Wherever appropriate and with your permission, he prefers to speak through your personal belief system. He has enjoyed taking care of a diverse set of patients from Christians and Jews to Zoroastrians and Buddhists as well as from secular humanists and "teapot atheists" to deists and existentialists.
