Meet Dr. Gondek
I’ve dedicated my professional career to treating patients with eating disorders across different settings and levels of care.
Before I founded RecoverED, LLC, I served as a Medical Director at The Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt, nationally renowned, comprehensive eating disorder treatment program. Prior to that, I held an Assistant Professor position at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where I was a director of the inpatient psychiatry consultation service at Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center and led an Outpatient Eating Disorder Clinic in Columbia, MD. I have also worked as a staff psychiatrist in the widely recognized partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient eating disorder program - The Renfrew Center and held an academic appointment of the Assistant Professor at the Georgetown University. I have collaborated with several bariatric surgery programs to help establish guidelines for psycho-social evaluation process and I have extensive experience in treating patients who developed disordered eating following various weight-loss procedures.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist, a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and I have a sub-specialty training in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry that focuses on the care of patients with coexisting psychiatric and medical conditions. I received a Fellowship award from the American Psychiatric Association for my dedication to the psychiatric profession and a prestigious Johns Hopkins Medicine Clinical Excellence Award for the outstanding contributions to patient care.
I completed my consultation-liaison psychiatry fellowship at Georgetown University/National Institute of Health/Washington Hospital Center, and I graduated from the residency in psychiatry at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, OH, where I served as an Education Chief Resident. I earned my Medical Doctor degree at Medical University of Silesia in Poland.
