My style of practice is to do an initial evaluation over three or four visits, and then make recommendations. I am able to provide a range of treatments, including individual and family therapy, behavior modification, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychiatric medications. For most problems, psychiatric medication is not used, but may be offered if non-medication therapies are not effective.

Dr. Budner received his undergraduate and medical degrees at Brown University, and then trained in adult, child, and adolescent psychiatry at the University of California, Irvine, where he was both chief resident in psychiatry and chief fellow in child and adolescent psychiatry. He is board-certified in both adult, and child and adolescent psychiatry.
Dr. Budner has been on the staff of Children's Hospital of Orange County since 1988, and was head of psychiatry there until a hospital-based psychiatrist was recruited in 2001.
Dr. Budner treats the patient within in the context of the family. He accepts new patients up through college age, but will follow his established child patients into adulthood.
