Joseph D. Rich, MD, FAPA, FACFE

 

I have over thirty years of experience in the practice of general psychiatry. For the past twelve years, I have been medical director of psychiatric services for an integrated healthcare system. I am highly experienced in performing independent psychiatric examinations in both civil and criminal arenas and am very effective in presenting my professional opinions in reports or in testimony. I am eminently qualified to provide expert opinion regarding the entire spectrum of mental health. I will be pleased to discuss your case with you, or provide references upon your request.
