Background
Dr. Nardone leads the Virginia flagship in Richmond and oversees medical strategy across every Foundation Medical Group location. He has been treating patients in the Richmond area for more than a decade, with a focus on the conditions that travel together: depression, anxiety, and opioid use disorder. He helped shape the integrated, low-friction model FMG now uses across all four states.
Clinical Focus
Dr. Nardone’s day-to-day clinical work covers:
- Major depressive disorder, including treatment-resistant cases
- Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD
- Opioid use disorder and medication-assisted treatment
- Alcohol use disorder
- Co-occurring psychiatric and substance use conditions
- Psychiatric medication management for adults
He’s a strong advocate for combining medication with the right kind of therapy and follow-up, rather than treating prescriptions as the entire plan.
How He Works
He’s direct without being cold, and he tends to ask one or two more questions than other doctors do. Patients say his visits feel unhurried, which is rare in psychiatry. He’s also quick to flag when a problem doesn’t actually look psychiatric (thyroid, sleep, hormones, alcohol intake) and route you to the right kind of help instead of layering on another medication.
As medical director, he reviews complex cases from across the network. If a patient at one of our other clinics needs a second opinion or a tricky decision needs another set of eyes, he’s often the one looking at the chart.
Background and Training
Dr. Nardone is board-certified in psychiatry and has practiced in the Richmond area since the early 2010s. He led the build-out of FMG’s medication-assisted treatment program and continues to mentor newer clinicians joining the team across our Virginia, Utah, Georgia, and Texas clinics.
