FORENSIC PSYCHIATRY

About Dr. Puthumana

I’m Dr. Puthumana, MD Psychiatrist and fellowship-trained forensic psychiatrist providing clinical and forensic psychiatric services for adults in Illinois and New York.  In addition to clinical practice, I provide forensic psychiatric evaluations and consultation in legal contexts requiring structured, objective psychiatric opinion.  

In forensic evaluations, my role is strictly objective. Opinions are based on comprehensive record review, clinical interview, and application of relevant legal and psychiatric standards. Clarity, neutrality, and accuracy are central to all forensic work.

Licensure & Practice
I am licensed to practice in Illinois and New York and provide services via telepsychiatry where clinically appropriate.  All clinical and forensic services are delivered through CALMMD Psychiatry.
