Stephen Sandelich, MD

I am a pediatric emergency medicine physician specializing in substance abuse disorders and adolescent mental health. My medical journey has deeply acquainted me with the challenges and nuances of pediatric emergencies arising from substance abuse and mental health crises. Before my current academic position, I was primarily working in community practice. In this role, I focused on honing my clinical acumen and, through exposure to teens and adolescents with substance use disorder, became an expert in the emergency department treatment of these patients. This expertise manifested in developing and implementing an emergency department-based medicated assisted treatment program for adolescents with substance use disorder presenting in withdrawal.
