About

Emelina Santos-Ilagan, MD

After my postgraduate residency training in General Psychiatry at SUNY affiliated facility in Long Island, New York, I underwent further training as a fellow in Geriatric Psychiatry at Georgetown University Hospital Medical Center. Then I stayed on for another year as Clinical Instructor at GU, as I was building my clinical practice.

I can confidently declare that I have had a very fulfilling and rewarding career. I will state that my training really never ceased.Indeed, I have learned so much more over the years and I mean not only from attending continuing medical education lectures or courses offered in numerous live or phone seminars/conferences and/ or, webinars. e Mostly I learned a lot from my patients, especially those who have come with particular challenges or nuances that made me want to research more to be of optimal help to them;particularly those with history of treatment refractory psychiatric conditions.
Having treated thousands of patients in all settings and various levels of care (Inpatient, Outpatient and Day Hospital), I quickly learned that the familiar and conventional medicine, in which I was trained (sadly,so in too many cases) failed to bring total at times even partial healing to too many of the suffering.
As I have continuously educated myself (out of necessity I might add) about many of the effective complementary treatments backed by evidence-based studies, and as I have afterwards incorporated those in my practice (i.e. combining standard and complementary treatments), I have watched amazing recoveries of my very appreciative patients. In fact, many of their suffering loved ones also have been helped in the process when they,too employed some of the remedies that my patients learned from me. Needless, to say, I am just loving my job more and more. To find out more please visit my websites: www.BodySoulSpiritTherapy.com

Dr. Ilagan is a great thorough dr with a great commitment to her patients. I miss her dearly and wish she practiced in AZ.

Dr. Ilagan is a refreshing change from many doctors today. She listened intently and provided needed medicine at the FIRST visit. Many psychiatrists milk you for several visits "to make sure." The quack I went to before refused to prescribe anything that would tame my anger. If I could just have 2 seconds, I would be answer someone decently. Again I PLEADED for *any* help. Bupkis. I got fired from a 90K job because he didn't give a fig about me. Dr. Ilagan is like talking to a friend and she is deeply dedicated to helping you feel better. I can't imagine a better shrink.
