Please welcome Dr Lilly Rizzo, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist to the Northeast Pediatrics team!
Dr. Rizzo graduated from Villanova University with a degree in Biology. Prior to beginning her medical education, she worked as a mental health case manager through AmeriCorps in rural Washington State. She returned to her hometown in Syracuse, NY to attend medical school at SUNY Upstate NY then completed Psychiatry Residency at the Institute of Living in Hartford, CT. She relocated to Burlington, VT for Child & Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at the University of Vermont Medical Center, which she was drawn to due to their focus on holistic wellbeing and their Family Based Approach. She is board certified in General Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
Families have access to meeting with Dr. Rizzo exclusively at the recommendation of their pediatric primary care team. We do not have the capacity for her to be able to see every family who requests to be seen unfortunately. As such, your medical team is prioritizing which patients will temporarily be seen by Dr. Rizzo to work toward medication and symptom stabilization, at which point medication management will return to either your P*P or, if needed, community psychiatry. Dr. Rizzo will work closely with your primary care provider throughout your time working with her and your team will work toward having seamless transitions between Dr. Rizzo and P*P as patient needs and symptoms change over time. Dr. Rizzo will not be able to see patients who already have access to a psychiatrist in the community.
