The care you deserve,
from physicians who have earned it.
Expert psychiatric care for yourself, a family member, or a patient. Complex cases welcome.
Most patients seeking subspecialty psychiatric care face a frustrating reality: the physicians with the deepest expertise are largely inaccessible in private practice. RxNeuroscience was built to change that.
We offer direct access to two of the most credentialed psychiatrists in the country — delivering care with the time, attention, and clinical depth that complex patients deserve via telehealth in California and Arizona.
Founded by two physicians who trained together and share a vision.
Drs. Pallavi Joshi and Robert Rymowicz have collaborated as researchers, co-authors, and colleagues since their residency years — publishing on opioid use disorder in older adults and building careers at the intersection of addiction, aging, and complex psychiatric medicine. This is a self-pay practice — we do not accept insurance.

To make the highest level of psychiatric expertise genuinely accessible.
Patients navigating addiction, aging, ADHD, or complex psychiatric illness deserve more than a brief appointment with a generalist. They deserve a physician who has devoted their career to understanding conditions like theirs.
Our mission is to deliver that level of care — directly, personally, and without the friction of institutional medicine.
"Every patient deserves a physician who has the time to understand them, the training to help them, and the intellectual honesty to say when something is complex."
We welcome complexity — patients who have tried multiple treatments without lasting benefit, or who simply want a physician who will think carefully.
If you are seeking expert psychiatric care, we invite you to reach out.
Complex cases welcome. Self-pay practice. Patients must be in California or Arizona.
Board-certified expertise across general psychiatry, ADHD, addiction, geriatric psychiatry, and obesity medicine.
Not sure which specialty applies to you?
Many patients present with overlapping concerns. Our physicians welcome cases that have proven difficult to place elsewhere.

Clinical services
Geriatric psychiatry
Dr. Joshi is a Yale-trained, ABPN board-certified geriatric psychiatrist and recipient of the APA Hartford-Jeste Award. She brings expertise in the full spectrum of late-life psychiatric presentations: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia, late-life depression and anxiety, and the complex interplay of psychiatric illness and cognitive decline. She is an active clinical trialist and first-author of multiple peer-reviewed publications on dementia care.
Deprescribing & polypharmacy
Older adults are frequently prescribed multiple medications by multiple providers, creating a complex and sometimes harmful drug burden. Dr. Joshi specializes in careful, evidence-based deprescribing — reducing or discontinuing medications whose risks outweigh their benefits.
Addiction treatment for older adults
Dr. Joshi combines her board certification in addiction medicine with her geriatric psychiatry subspecialty to offer expert evaluation and management of substance use disorders in older adults — including alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and prescription medication misuse.
ADHD in later life
ADHD is frequently undiagnosed in older adults, where symptoms may overlap with cognitive decline or polypharmacy. Dr. Joshi offers expert evaluation — carefully distinguishing attentional deficits from dementia-related symptoms — with individualized treatment for the aging brain.
General psychiatry
Dr. Joshi provides comprehensive evaluation and medication management for adults across the full range of psychiatric presentations, including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and treatment-resistant conditions. She has particular experience with the complex interplay between psychiatric illness and medical conditions.
Psychotherapy
Dr. Joshi completed a fellowship in psychoanalysis at the Psychoanalytic Association of New York, with training at NYU Langone. She integrates psychodynamic and psychoanalytic principles into her clinical work, with particular expertise in psychotherapy for older adults — an underserved area where she brings both specialized training and genuine clinical depth.
Clinical services
ADHD
Hypoactivity in the frontal lobe may lead to deficits in focus, concentration, task salience, and difficulty controlling impulsive or appetitive behaviors. Dr. Rymowicz is an expert in treating ADHD in adults using all available treatment modalities.
Outpatient detox
Dr. Rymowicz has experience treating withdrawal from the hospital and the home. Outpatient detox treatment, done safely at home, is often possible.
Benzodiazepine discontinuation
Sedative-hypnotic withdrawal is notoriously difficult. Dr. Rymowicz is an expert in benzodiazepine discontinuation, offering both anticonvulsant-supported rapid tapers and slow, gentle tapers — in accordance with patient preference.
Medication-assisted treatment
Dr. Rymowicz is an expert in the medication-assisted treatment of substance use disorders, with noted expertise in opioid, stimulant, and alcohol use disorders, offering all available treatments except methadone.
General psychiatry
Dr. Rymowicz has extensive experience treating general psychiatric disorders across all treatment settings — from outpatient to acute inpatient to the long-term treatment of the criminally insane. He has experience treating first responders with PTSD.
Food addiction
Dr. Rymowicz is a leading expert in the emerging field of food addiction, having given the first presentations on the topic at the annual meetings of national conferences. As the science progresses and more effective medications become available, we now have highly effective treatments for distressing thoughts about food and for weight loss.
Both physicians are experienced national speakers, available for grand rounds, symposia, and professional education.
Drs. Joshi and Rymowicz have chaired and presented at APA, AAGP, and AAAP annual meetings, and delivered invited lectures at academic medical centers across the country.
