“After my first session, I felt seen, heard, and—most importantly—understood. This wasn’t just a quick check-the-box appointment. My psychiatrist took the time to ask the right questions, and connect some dots in ways that helped me understand myself a little more clearly. What really stood out was how thoughtful and thorough he was. He explained the reasoning behind every suggestion, made sure I was comfortable, and built a treatment plan tailored to me not just my symptoms. In one session, I felt more hope than I’ve had in years. I left feeling hopeful and with a sense of direction. If you’re looking for someone who’s both clinically sharp and genuinely compassionate, I can’t recommend them enough.”

Getting to know Christopher Tundo

*Christopher does not provide therapy-only medication management. Please note first appointments must be in person and follow up visits can be in person or virtual** My goal is to provide patients with thorough evaluation and treatment in an expedited, cost-effective manner. Patients can expect to schedule an appointment within 4 weeks and have follow-up appointments in the evening or on Saturdays. Christopher holds a Post-Master's Certificate in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Drexel University, a Master's in Nursing from Waynesburg University, and both an Associate's and a Bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Patients can expect to receive an initial consultation within 4 weeks. The first appointment will be about an hour and follow-up appointments are about thirty minutes. I provide patients a comprehensive evaluation and recommend different medication treatment options, explaining the pros and cons of each. Afterwards, I let the patient decide on which medication to try. In addition, I am highly responsive to emails and portal messages should a client need to contact me in between appointments. I offer enormous appointment flexibility. Patients can schedule appointments in the evening and some Saturdays. Patients will have their own patient portal account and be able to communicate with me and schedule appointments. My goal is to make working together as convenient as possible.

His website lists the first initial appt as 60 min long. The first long appt (usually 60-90min other places) is supposed gather all new patients info. Here my appt was only NINE MINUTES!! (Look at his fee to see how much an initial appt is, to be seen for 9 min) Beginning of appt Chris was rocking very hard in his chair I very politely asked him "can you please stop rocking?" It was making me anxious he said "No! Thats not appropriate to ask!" That obviously upset him a lot & set the tone. I told him I stopped taking a medicine after 3 years because it stopped working he said "I think you wasted my time & made me come here on a Saturday for nothing!" (He had a Saturday opening listed i didnt make a special request for it) he was very rude the whole time. He asked me about 4 questions, gave me a few sample pills & scheduled my next appt. I said "is that it? the appt is over?" He said "yes, i read your paperwork." I was extremely extremely disappointed & dissatisfied by Chris.

Chris was awesome first appointment felt nothing like. Almost like I known him not to mention, he was honest and upfront very, very happy with the decision
Chris is very attentive and highly knowledgeable. He creates a safe, supportive environment and truly listens, offering thoughtful guidance and effective treatment. Since starting sessions, I’ve felt understood and more empowered. I highly recommend his services.
Super short session, but felt listened to and that the doctor respected my time and my opinions on how I was feeling. Glad that I chose this practice and have a regiment that seems to be working for me!
I had an excellent experience booking an appointment with Christopher! I was able to get an appointment quickly. The intake process was easy and efficient. This office runs like a well oiled machine.
Good productive.
He always has good advice and his very down to earth. I live in difficult circumstances, and his first response isn't to give me a bunch of pills.
This provider was very thorough and took his time with me during my initial appointment. The appointment lasted one hour, and he provided me with several different medication options, explaining the pros and cons of each. It was easy and quick to get an appointment.
Fabulous provider. My appt was for 12:00noon. They were running late and I was told it would be sometime before I was seen. It was almost an hour after appt time. They were very apologetic and thanked me for my patience several times. Once in appointment; I felt Immediately comfortable with Chris Tundo. He is a good listener and methodical in his approach and processes. While the wait was unexpected; the provider is dedicated to his patients and gives them all the time they require.
