Appointments
Please contact us at 281-849-4080 to schedule an appointment or ask questions about our services. If our staff is currently busy on another call, please leave a message and we will get back with you as soon as possible.
Your Family Psychiatrist does not double book appointments. Your appointment time is reserved for you and allows us to minimize your time in the waiting room.
Initial Psychiatric Evaluation:
The initial psychiatric evaluation may last between 1-2 hours to provide a thorough evaluation. Please plan to accommodate this time for comprehensive care.
For children and adolescents: We prefer to interview a parent and the child/adolescent individually in addition to discussing treatment together as a team. If your child can not be safely left alone in the waiting room, please bring another adult to watch the child/adolescent while the parent/guardian is being interviewed. Please do not bring other siblings/children to the initial appointment, so that the entire time may be devoted to the patient.
Treatment recommendations may include medication, therapeutic interventions, and/or psychological testing. We work closely with many counselors and therapists to provide comprehensive care when indicated.
Follow-Up Sessions: $150
These sessions last up to 25 minutes to monitor response to medication treatment. Length between sessions will vary based on the needs of the patient and treatment recommendations. Patients are seen at a minimum of once every 3 months. When starting a new medication, follow-up visits will need to be more frequent.
Payment Information
Your Family Psychiatrist is considered an "out of network" provider. This allows us to provide our patients with longer appointments and a more relaxed environment. Additionally, this policy ensures confidentiality for patients who elect to keep treatment private and not notify their insurance carriers of treatment. If your insurance reimburses for out of network claims, we will provide you with documentation to submit an insurance claim on your own. This includes a receipt with a tax ID number, date of service, and the proper diagnostic codes upon each visit. Payment for services is required prior to your appointment. All major credit cards are accepted.
*Miscellaneous fees for record requests, after-hours phone calls, and forms you need completed are discussed under the office policies tab.
