About Peter
Dr. Peter Gobar is a board-certified psychiatrist with more than twenty years in practice. He earned his medical degree at the University of Kentucky and spent much of his career in Palm Beach County hospital leadership, including service as Psychiatric Medical Director at JFK Hospital in Atlantis and as Medical Director of its outpatient services. He now sees adults at the Boynton Beach office, Suite D720.
Dr. Gobar treats the full range of adult psychiatric conditions, from job stress, personal difficulties, and uncomplicated anxiety and depression to psychosis and depression that has not responded to earlier treatment. He works from a biopsychosocial-spiritual framework: biology and medication matter, but so do relationships, work, habits, and the beliefs that give a person's life meaning. Patients with complex histories, multiple prior medication trials, or a mix of mood and psychotic symptoms are a particular strength.
Because Boynton Beach is one of the practice's Spravato sites, Dr. Gobar is well placed to evaluate adults with treatment-resistant depression for esketamine and to coordinate Deep TMS referrals to Palm Beach Gardens when appropriate. Off duty he likes mechanical projects, reading, music, and time with his dog.
Care philosophy
Dr. Gobar sees people, not diagnoses. He weighs biology, psychology, social circumstances, and spiritual life together, and he is comfortable with both straightforward cases and the ones other clinicians have found difficult.
