- NeurologyA psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illnesses, including substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of emotional problems. A psychiatrist has completed medical school (is an M.D. or D.O.) and an additional four or more years of residency training in psychiatry. To become a psychiatrist, a person must complete college, then medical school, and then a four-year residency program in psychiatry. Some psychiatrists also complete additional training after their four years of general psychiatry training. Newly graduated physicians must pass written and oral examinations for a state license to practice medicine. After graduation, doctors typically spend much of the first year of residency training in a hospital taking care of patients with a wide range of medical illnesses. The psychiatrist-in-training then spends at least three additional years in training learning the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses, gaining valuable skills in various forms of psychotherapy and in the use of psychiatric medicines and other treatments. After training is completed, most psychiatrists take a voluntary written and oral examination given by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology to become a “board certified” psychiatrist. Becoming “board certified” indicates that the psychiatrist has met the highest standard available to provide clinical care. A psychiatrist must be re-certified every 10 years.

- NeurosurgeryNow, in this new millennium, psychiatry has evolved from dynamic and nascent biological concepts to a branch of medicine and pharmacology, continually redefining itself and its manuals. A proud, respected and gratifying field, psychiatry complements the fields of neurology and neurosurgery with its own rehabilitation and recovery models, all borne out of research and time proven methodologies. It is in this rich field of opportunity that Humberto and Mario Gomez, M.D. evolved, directing local adolescent residential centers and in the local counties’ mental health centers, establishing best practice standards and adherence to standard protocols. The emotionally impaired, but also the intellectually challenged and substance abusing populations have since benefited greatly. As the father did before him, the son continues to update and redefine the legacy they both created. New technologies await them, but HMG Psychiatric Associates, P.C. stands ready to meet that challenge, evolving to benefit the many.
