Meet One Of Our Amazing Psychiatrists

Dr. Taslim Zaman
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
I am a Psychiatrist and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine sees the entire patient as an integrated whole, rather than only treating for specific symptoms. Thus, DO’s address conditions from both a lifestyle & medical perspective compared to most physicians who focus often on solely a medical perspective.
