Dr. Zagat is involved with several professional organizations, including the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, as well as its Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey chapters; the American Medical Association; the American Society of Addiction Medicine; and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. With a strong dedication to telemedicine, Dr. Zagat plans to further expand his work to provide online therapy across New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and New Jersey, improving access to mental health care for those in need.
