What you expect

Initial session

Your initial evaluation is comprehensive. It includes a detailed medical and psychiatric history and diagnostic testing to accurately determine diagnoses and create an effective, personalized treatment plan. The standard duration for this session is 60 minutes. Longer sessions are available per request and complexity.

Once you book your appointment, I will send you online testings to complete in advance. This ensures we make the most of our time together.

I offer sessions in person at my office in Long Beach or and via telepsychiatry (video appointments) for patients throughout California, based on your preference.

Follow-up sessions

Follow-up appointments have a standard duration of 30 minutes, during these visits, we will review your response to medication, monitor for any side effects and discuss the next step in your treatment. Longer durations are available per request.

Policies

In my practice, I conduct all evaluations personally. There are no physician assistants or nurse practitioners. You will receive direct, one-on- one care from me.

Insurance and Payment

I do not currently accept insurance. After decades of working with insurances, I have made this choice to ensure I can dedicate the necessary time to each patient’s care, allowing for thorough evaluation without the constrains often imposed by insurance companies.

• Initial Appointment: 60 minutes for $600

• Follow-Up appointments: 30 minutes for $300

I provide patients with “ superbills “ which you can submit to your insurance provider to help you obtain potential out-of-network reimbursements.
