Upon graduation, he returned to the U.S. and joined the military, where he completed his residency in psychiatry at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, as well as an additional two-year fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry. He went on to supervise and teach residents at the Eisenhower Army Medical Center and was honored there for outstanding clinical teaching. He maintained professional affiliations with the American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.At his longtime private practice in Katonah, he was known for his sense of humor, his no-nonsense approach, and for always going above and beyond for his patients and their families. He loved his work, continuing to see his patients until the day he went into hospice.

He is survived by his wife, Genevieve Blanco; his daughter, Leslie Blanco; three grandchildren and his sister, Maria.
