Yes, I am accepting new patients at my Williamsville office. Please see the booking tab for my current availability.

Visits can be conducted in-office or virtually. Unfortunately, I cannot conduct any visits over a simple telephone call. If I feel your condition would be best treated in office as opposed to a virtual visit based on your submitted information and conditions, I will inform you before you are seen or your card is charged.

Intake visits are generally 60 minutes. Follow-up visits are typically 30-45 minutes with the frequency of the visits dependent on your treatment plan and a mutually agreed upon interval.

At this time, I treat adults 18 and older.

Not at this time. Accepted insurances can be found above.

Yes. I can provide you a receipt and you may attempt to submit this to your insurer for possible reimbursement.

Refills can be requested by established patients during regular business hours for medications prescribed by me. I kindly ask that you attempt to send all medication refills one week from the last dose to prevent lapse in treatment.

I do not offer free consultations. Please book an initial intake visit for a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to review your treatment options.

I will do my best to accommodate reschedule requests. Cancellations within 24 hours of your appointment prevent other patients from being seen and are subject to a $100 cancellation fee that will likely not be covered by insurance. Refills cannot be issued in place of a scheduled visit.

I do not write letters for service or emotional support animals mainly due to the malpractice liability and secondary insurance complexities associated with such animals. I can provide a reference to a service who can evaluate that and potentially author such a letter.

Not necessarily. An independent comprehensive assessment will be conducted at your intake session which may include a request for medical screening, urine drug screen, and/or prior medical/ psychiatric records request. Simply carrying a current prescription for a stimulant, benzodiazepine, or other controlled substances does not automatically guarantee continuation. As always, your care is personalized and rooted in the highest standard of evidenced-based care.

Simply having a “response” perceived to be helpful is not always a clinical indication for getting a prescription for a controlled substance. A comprehensive psychiatric assessment is the best way to determine a treatment plan. Never take a medication not prescribed to you.
