Get to know Psychiatrist Dr. Melanie Bacal Korn, who serves patients in Naples, Florida.

Dr. Korn is a board-certified psychiatrist and a specialist in brief, interventional therapies who sees patients at her private practice in Naples, Florida. With over four decades of experience, she offers superior solutions to optimize, energize, improve, and perfect oneself and one’s relationships.

Patients come to this empathetic and understanding doctor for different reasons; medical issues, drug interactions, improperly prescribed medications, drug-free therapy, behavior modification, troubles with a spouse, children, or jobs and a multitude of other issues. As a master psychopharmacologist, she is also recognized for her skill to optimally balance interactions between diverse drugs. “My goal is to eradicate suffering as quickly as possible and install changes that will last and not have symptoms return months or years later.” as stated by Dr. Korn.

Her confidential sessions are held in her private, warm, and relaxed office. One skill her patients particularly appreciate is her ability to listen. Her proficiency and kindness are other attributes her patients frequently mention.

Inspired by a love of science and research, Dr. Korn was in medical school when she realized her true passion was helping patients lead happier and healthier lives. She earned her medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine in 1973. She then went on to complete her post-graduate training at New York University Medical Center and NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue Hospital Center.

The doctor is board-certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, which is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to promoting high-quality patient care for the public through the initial and continuing certification of psychiatrists and neurologists.

Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders. These include various maladaptations related to mood, behavior, cognition, and perceptions. Psychiatrists evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients with mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. They conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations, develop treatment plans, prescribe medication, and evaluate treatment results.

As a testament to her success, Dr. Korn has been selected as one of the Top Psychiatrists in America by the independent Washington, D.C.-based Consumers’ Research Council of America. Over the years, she has seen a lot of changes in psychiatry and is pleased that there is less social stigma associated with emotional and mental illness than there once was. “There is increasing acceptance and understanding, and people are more willing to improve their lives by seeking treatment.” she noted.
