“Dr. Kwon is the most professional and effective psychiatric practitioner I have ever met with! He clearly and concisely deconstructed my former diagnoses and narrowed the scope of my diagnosis from him to three main parts for us to work on. While he may come across as stern, as I found him to be, he was actively working with me and listening intently to solve all of my neurological concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Kwon, he is a phenomenal psychiatrist!”

Getting to know Dr. Alexander Kwon

I attended medical school at Catholic University of Korea College of Medicine in South Korea and moved to the US after graduation. I was involved in research for new treatment options for brain tumors in Radiation Oncology. After years of research, I decided to pursue psychiatry with the vision of a more holistic approach to mental health care rather than just focusing on the pathology of the human brain. I completed my residency in psychiatry at Rowan University and Cooper University Hospital and furthered my training with a fellowship at the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia. I take a comprehensive approach to understand each individual's physical, mental, and social issues. I highly value the importance of psychopharmacology combined with psychotherapy and psychoanalytic assessment. I believe that good rapport with a provider is the foundation of effective treatment. I use evidence-based practices with behavioral management techniques to help my patients. I treat patients with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, personality disorders, developmental disorders, and other mental health issues. Work Experience Attending Psychiatrist at Penn Medicine Princeton Health, Princeton, New Jersey, and Medical Director at Cumberland County Guidance Center, Millville, New Jersey.

I needed a bit of assistance prior to my appointment, and the staff was amazingly helpful, kind, and accommodating. Dr. Kwon put me at ease immediately and we had one of the least awkward first appointments I've had with a mental health professional.

Dr. Kwon was on time, thorough with his assessments and had great bedside manner. I felt heard, and not rushed at all during this appointment.
