New Patients

Introductory Call

Smart Psychiatric Medicine, PLLC

We will have a brief phone conversation to discuss your needs and what we offer.  If it seems like a good fit, we will send you a link to the secure patient portal where you can access intake forms and schedule your first appointment.  Most appointments can be scheduled in the next week.

Consultation Appointments

Our first appointments let us understand your symptoms more fully and get to know you as an individual.  We will discuss your health and concerns, your prior experiences and future goals.  With your permission, we may seek prior records or discuss with your other treaters.

Treatment Begins

We will discuss the assessment and recommend a personalized treatment strategy.  In some cases we may need testing or consultations prior to beginning treatment.  If medications are recommended, they will be used strategically, and we discuss the benefits and risks of each treatment.

Continued Care

We fine-tune the treatment and monitor your progress with regular appointments.  Each follow-up visit involves reassessing your goals, evaluating your symptoms, and discussing the options going forward to tailor your plan.
