Provider Bio

Clinical Health Psychologist
Gut-Brain Specialist

Dr. Steven Feinstein has been a licensed clinical psychologist since 2003. He has specific expertise with chronic health conditions, focused on evidence-based gastrointestinal behavioral health treatments. Dr. Feinstein is passionate about working within an integrated care model to provide Oshi patients with life-changing gastrointestinal behavioral health care.

Prior to joining Oshi Health, Dr. Feinstein worked in a variety of clinical settings, including inpatient and outpatient medical in the VA Healthcare System, skilled nursing/rehabilitation, and private practice.
