If you or someone with you is in danger right now, the right call is not this office. It is the line below.
988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineCall or text 988. Available twenty-four hours a day, every day. Trained crisis counselors will speak with you immediately. There is no charge. They can help you whether you are the person in crisis or the family member sitting next to one.
If there is danger to yourself or another person, the closest emergency department is the right destination, not a psychiatric office. Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas, 8200 Walnut Hill Lane. Methodist Dallas Medical Center, 1441 N Beckley Avenue. Both are equipped to manage psychiatric crises and to coordinate the next step.
If you are an established patient with an urgent question that is not an emergency, leave a detailed message at your home location's main line. Medical District (214) 555-0432. Park Cities (214) 555-0816. The on-call clinician is paged for true urgencies. For true emergencies, please use 988 or the emergency department first.
Outpatient psychiatry is the right setting for most of the work. The settings above are the right setting when the work cannot wait.
