Before You Walk In

What the First Visit Sounds Like.

The first appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Sixty to ninety minutes, depending on complexity. We listen first. We write a treatment plan together, in language you can read at home.

Before You Arrive
The New Patient form is sent the day after you reserve. It asks for your medication history, prior trials, family history, current symptoms, and any prior records you can forward.
When You Arrive
Parking is at the front. Check-in is brief. The lobby is private and small.
The Evaluation
Sixty to ninety minutes with the prescriber. We start with what brought you in, then move into the medication history and symptom timeline, then to family history and prior responses. We ask about sleep, appetite, energy, libido, and the things people sometimes hesitate to mention.
The Plan
Written in the room together, with the specific medication or referral named, the expected response timeline, the side-effect profile in plain language, and the next-visit interval.
After
The prescription is sent the same day. The follow-up is scheduled at checkout. The lead clinician's care-coordination line is on the discharge sheet.
