James Greer, MD
Clinical Director of Child and Family Services
Twenty-three years ago, Dr. Greer joined the team at The Providence Center because he wanted to be part of a dedicated staff and an organization committed to patient care. “It is a privilege to work here alongside such talented people who give so much to our patients and each another.” Dr. Greer’s job is complex and juggling so many responsibilities can be challenging but he feels the rewards far outweigh the challenges. “One of my greatest joys is when grown-up former patients come back to visit and thank me for the life-changing services and care they received at TPC. It is remarkable to see how the right services and care can change a child’s life." |

Kazi Salahuddin, MD
Pediatric Psychiatrist
"When a child I have been seeing is now earning As and Bs in school and is no longer struggling with depression or anxiety, it makes all of my work worthwhile." Successful outcomes like these require Dr. Kazi to work with all aspects of a child's life-parents, school, and extended family-to understand the child's issues and develop the most effective treatment plan. Sometimes, finding the answers is not that simple, but it is Dr. Kazi's commitment to helping children and families through difficult times and the work of his team of clinicians, nurses and case workers that makes success possible. |

Ruth Stemp, MD
Psychiatrist
Dr. Stemp's career began in internal medicine, but when she discovered that the primary concerns of patients were related to emotional problems, she realized she could make a greater impact in their lives by becoming a psychiatrist. "Now, after almost 20 years at The Providence Center, in some cases I have treated three generations of a client's family. The Providence Center has become like a second family to me." |
