Board Certified in Addiction Medicine + Board Certified in Psychiatry
MATTHEW FELGUS, MD
Dr. Matthew Felgus is Board Certified in Addiction Medicine and Psychiatry. He has been treating individuals with substance use, abuse and dependence for over 20 years. Before he went to medical school, Dr. Felgus was a drug counselor and brings that perspective to treating his patients. He would say (and often does) that he is the least pill-happy doctor he knows. Medication is only one piece of the puzzle of healing, and he believes in a well-rounded treatment program that includes all areas of wellness including counseling, exercise, nutrition, and finding one’s passion in life whatever that may be. He will evaluate for medication use and strives to recommend the most user-friendly medications at the lowest doses. Not everyone walks out of his office with a prescription as he is also happy to evaluate and make recommendations without medication in a no-pressure, educational setting. Treatment is driven by the individual seeking his services, and he sees himself as a guide rather than working in the traditionally-paternalistic medical model.
