What to expect
What does it mean to become a patient? What should I expect in terms of appointments?
While each provider has their own approach to appointments, the process is generally as follows:
You’ll have a free 15 minute phone consultation with the provider you’d like to see in order to determine if they are right for your needs.
You’ll be sent new patient paperwork which includes policies and procedures, medical and psychiatric history, and questions about the symptoms you’re experiencing.
You’ll have an intake appointment with your provider.
Your provider may ask you to follow-up 1-2 weeks after your initial appointment to review labs, records, or evaluate your response to medications.
You’ll be seen every 2-3 weeks during periods of significant medication changes.
Once your symptoms are stable, follow-ups can occur every month, then every two months, and finally every 3 months.
Follow-up appointments can be brief (20 minutes) or extended (40-45 minutes) in duration. Unless your provider indicates otherwise, you can select the length that works best for you and your needs.
Our providers see patients in-person and virtually.
In-person appointments take place in our offices at:
