“I cannot put into words how big of a relief it is to finally find the right psychiatrist. So easy to talk to, down to earth, has a great sense of humor, understands life happens sometimes and is willing to work with you, and is extremely knowledgable in his field. He’s a rare find, and you can instantly tell he truly cares about his patients. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Keating. He definitely lives up to his ratings.”

Getting to know Dr. Francis Keating
Dr. Keating attended medical school at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and received his training in psychiatry from the Albert Einstein Medical Center as well as Alleghany General Hospital. Dr. Keating has also had previous affiliations with the Philadelphia Psychoanalytic Center. There he acquired four years of advanced training in psychotherapy.
In his practice, he works with a wide range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, addictions and even the more complex thought disorders. Dr. Keating is unique in his holistic approach to healing, seeking less invasive methods such as attempting to liberate patients from conflict through the use of psychodynamic techniques. This blend of psychiatric and psychological intervention sets Dr. Keating apart from his contemporaries.
Dr. Keating is understanding and non-judgmental in his clinical practice. He takes time in knowing his patients and joins with them to develop a comprehensive plan to improve and sustain optimal health. Unlike many psychiatrists whose primary focus is on pharmacological intervention, Dr. Keating cares to help people understand both the medical and emotional components of their disease, recognizing that most answers lie within the patients themselves. He encourages insight and authenticity for those in pursuit of personal growth.

He is a very nice guy but strange. Maybe too playful bedside manner for some people. Sometimes hard to get ahold of.
