About Sandy
Dr. Sandy Kaufman is a psychiatrist at the Jacksonville office with decades of experience across the full spectrum of mental illness. He grew up in Brooklyn, where his father's pharmacy gave him an early view of how psychiatric medication could change a person's life. He completed his undergraduate studies at Brooklyn College, earned his medical degree at New York Medical College, and did his internship and residency at Albany Medical College before serving as a base psychiatrist in the United States Air Force. He went on to further psychiatric training in Boston.
Dr. Kaufman treats all forms of mental illness, with particular expertise in medication management and in the ways medical conditions affect mental health. His Air Force background makes him a natural fit for the Jacksonville area's large active-duty, veteran, and military-family population, and his pharmacy roots show in careful, well-explained prescribing.
He works collaboratively, setting treatment goals with each patient rather than for them, and he is comfortable with complex cases involving several medications or coexisting medical problems. Patients who want an experienced physician who explains the reasoning behind every recommendation will find that here.
