As Dr. Perry Mandanis was beginning his medical career in Psychiatry, he fell down a flight of stairs, injured his spinal cord, and began a 25 year career passionately helping others — in his wheelchair. His patients know that empathy, exuberance, and resilience are his super-powers. Educated in Pediatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina, and in Psychiatry at Brown University, the health of the whole family is at the very heart of his work.
