Psychiatry Model of Care
"We are available to help all Cedars-Sinai patients manage the stress and anxiety that comes with a new diagnosis, coping with a chronic illness or having a surgery."
Itai Danovitch, MD
Department Chair
Managing Pain with Virtual Reality
"We believe virtual reality hijacks the senses, but in a good way. It creates an immersive distraction that stops the mind from processing pain, offering a drug-free supplement to traditional pain management."
Brennan Spiegel, MD, MSHS
Director of Health Services Research
Related Programs and Services
