Peru – The staff of North Country Behavioral Medicine (NCBM) is #41 in our Peru Gazette photo series featuring people who make Peru a wonderful place to live. North Country Behavioral Medicine opened at Glenwood Plaza last August offering psychiatric services including diagnostic assessment, adult psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, medication management, psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Over the past few months North Country Behavioral Medicine has been serving patients from throughout northern New York. In a few days it will almost double its office space enabling it to offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a depression treatment used when other treatments haven’t been effective. Medical Director Dr. Dino Santoro explained, “We wanted to have as many tools as possible. TMS is very unique. It’s an alternative If life style changes, therapy and medication aren’t successful. I believe we’ll be the only provider in the area offering it.”
Each North Country Behavioral Health Medicine provider is an independent practitioner. Santoro explained, “Each provider has specific skill sets and areas of interest. We always do our best to ensure patients are connected with the most appropriate provider for a patient’s particular set of challenges.”
North Country Behavioral Medicine is accepting new patients. Most insurance providers are accepted. Call 518-643-5550 for appointments. Its address is 3384 State Route 22, Suite 4, Peru, NY 12972. Hours are 8:30-4:30.
