Gregory Dadekian, MD - White River Junction VA Hospital

My clinical practice focuses on caring for pregnant and postpartum individuals with psychiatric illnesses, including substance use disorders. About one in five women experiences a mental illness during pregnancy or after giving birth. Many do not receive appropriate treatment because they lack access to reliable, evidence-based information about the reproductive safety of psychiatric treatments, including medications. I have many years of experience in this subspecialty, which allows me to support patients during this joyful yet often challenging phase of life. I help them navigate the complex decisions surrounding psychiatric treatment during pregnancy and lactation. I value the opportunity to connect with my patients and to understand their perspectives on their health care. Each person brings their own priorities and goals to the psychiatric treatment relationship, and I approach care with that in mind.

As a member of the orthopaedics team, I provide specialized care for each patient. I take their unique injury, goals, and current life circumstances into account to help them decide on the best course of treatment. My goal is to help my patients return to their daily activities and the recreational activities that make them happy. One reason I chose to work in orthopaedics is because of my own experience with orthopaedic injuries. My journey from the initial injury, through surgery, and return to activities, inspired me to give this care to others. It is gratifying to help patients through the ups and downs of the recovery process and see them return to their daily activities after an injury. I enjoy helping my patients navigate their health care to make decisions that are right for them.
