Chris Pagnani MD PC — Psychiatrist in Philadelphia, PA

Dr. Pagnani is outstanding. He is patient and provides detailed information about medications, whenever I have questions. "Medications aren't supposed to change who you are", is what he told me. And that's what I see that's really different about him. It's not a one sized fits all approach. His goal is to help you find the medication that lightens the issue, without changing who you are. There are cheaper options, but I'd never even consider it after my experience with him. He is the best of the best.

Had an awful experience with Dr. Christopher Pagnani. Dr. Pagnani put me on medication after medication, charging astronomical prices and sometimes even trying to see me for 2 sessions a week when medication changes could not be made. He also did not look at my charts prior to appointments. All appointments were only 20 minutes and done virtually, with no option to be seen in person. Very poor experience and DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Dr. Pagnani was a fantastic supervisor for me during my residency training. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and provides excellent patient care. I would recommend him to anyone.

Has been able to help me with my mental state for about 4 years now and I always feel like he knows exactly where we left off, is willing to listen and cares that you’re doing better! Wants you to get well! My jobs were my stressors and he was always there to remind me that I was better then what I was doing, his firm belief in me mixed with medicine to help anxieties (especially in the workplace) got me into such a great headspace which OVERTIME I was able to begin to control my own anxieties…which is all people like us can sometimes hope for. Thank you Dr. Chris, you have changed my life.

Dr. Pagnani has been helping me for almost 5 years now and is an amazing at whats he does. I drive 1.5 hours away to see him once a month and its worth it. Would highly recommend.

I saw Dr. Pagnani back in 2016-2017. He helped me immensely with an issue that another doctor didn’t want to acknowledge as actually being a real thing. I’m extremely thankful for his services and I wish more doctors did things the way he does. I’m incredibly thankful and I’d easily recommend him.

Dr Pagnani was a fantastic supervisor and clinical instructor during my training and he continues to be an excellent mentor to me and my colleagues. I’ve recommended him and his practice to many people and will do so as long as I am lucky to know him.

I would highly recommend Dr. Gina Cavorsi at Chris Pagnani & Associates. She provides a thorough, multi-factor evaluation which ultimately leads to the most comprehensive psychiatric evaluation that you could ask for. Her integrative approach allows for the most appropriate and effective medication decisions and therapy options. Thus, leading to a final treatment plan that is most ideal for the client's mental-physical-emotional well being. If you or a loved one is in need of a psychiatric evaluation, I would strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with Dr. Cavorsi today.

Chris is an excellent Addiction Psychiatrist and I refer to him regularly for medication management of my individual clients looking for help in Philadelphia. As an Addiction Psychologist myself in Philadelphia and Montgomery County providing mostly individual and group weekly drug and alcohol counseling and other therapies it is a challenge to find the right physician to treat clients who have the need for medication assessment in addition to our individual therapy. Chris has managed some difficult cases with me when our patients have needed help for anxiety, depression and attention deficit disorder. Seventy percent of people who abuse drugs have some sort of mental illness and a good majority of them seem to benefit from medication assisted therapies. I would refer to Dr. Pagnani without hesitation. Jeremy Frank PhD CADC Clinical Psychologist and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Philadelphia and Montgomery County.

Dr. Pagnani is all of the things one looks for in a medical professional and mental healthcare provider - he is incredibly intelligent, compassionate, and discrete. Having worked with him on and off for a couple of years now, I have to say there is something a bit different about him. Dr. Pagnani's dedication and availability to his patients is unlike any other psychiatrist I've worked with. He inspires trust and confidence that one can begin to heal and live a more fulfilling and productive life in spite of mental illness and other struggles. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a psychiatrist.
