Brett Montieth, MD, describes the road to a medical career as a “wandering path.” After receiving a master’s in genetics, he taught at a university. However, he knew he could give more to people and patients by becoming a doctor.
Today, Dr. Montieth offers services in general psychiatry and addiction psychiatry at Avera Medical Group Behavioral Health — W 69th St in Sioux Falls, SD.
“I view the person as a mind, body and soul,” said Dr. Montieth. “As a psychiatrist, I know I can serve people on many levels.”
Expert Care in Psychiatry
Dr. Montieth’s foundation of care is compassion. He understands that when a person comes to a psychiatrist, they aren’t feeling their best and are taking a brave step toward getting better.
He helps patients going through all kinds of mental illnesses, from depression to anxiety to substance abuse. At your first appointment, Dr. Montieth will cover the full spectrum of your life — getting to know you, your family, interests, struggles and everything in between.
“The people help me keep coming back,” said Dr. Montieth, “as well as the types of conversations I’m privileged to have.”
In his office, he’s used to very open and nonjudgemental conversations. Dr. Montieth is there to listen and guide treatment to help you overcome, walking with you step by step.
Active Lifestyle
When he’s not at work, Dr. Montieth enjoys spending time with his family. He’s also into photography and videography; he creates commercial trailer work and film editing on the side. Dr. Montieth also collects old books — the oldest one he owns dates back to 1735.
