What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During your first session, the first ten minutes will be to determine if we make a good fit. In other words, I will ask questions to determine if I may be able to help you. If so, the psychiatric evaluation will continue. I will ask you questions pertaining to you and your family's mental health (including a mental status examination), physical health (which includes a review of systems), substance abuse (if any), and other relevant psychosocial questions. If a diagnosis is made, a treatment plan will be developed. Treatment options and education will be provided. I will give you ample opportunity to ask questions. Upon completion of the session and necessary documents, an electronic prescription will be sent to your pharmacy of your choice on the same day of your session. We will then meet periodically to monitor your progress, make any medication adjustments (as necessary), and continually aim for your overall wellness.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe I stand apart from other providers by offering what is known as concierge psychiatry. I like to go above and beyond for my clients. I take medical client service to the next level. No wait list - ever. In fact, you can obtain an appointment on the same or next day, at latest. I will provide you with my personal cell phone number. You will NEVER reach a medical receptionist to leave a message during business hours and hope someone calls you. You need to reach me, you call me or text me right away. I will be here, at your service. And yes, this includes evening or weekend hours. Although I have a modern mindset, I am old school and embrace having a close knit relationship with my clients.
