SohoMDs Origin Story
In 2011, colleagues Dr. Jacques Jospitre and Dr. Edward Ratush formed a group psychiatric practice. From day one, they based every decision on the beliefs that 1) psychiatry should treat the whole person, not just their symptoms, and 2) that the body and mind have immeasurable untapped healing potential.
