What to expect at the first visit
The doctor will ask some additional questions. After the doctor has obtained the necessary information to make a diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan, the doctor will discuss with you treatment options for medication, therapy, and/or further psychological testing. Once the treatment plan is decided, the doctor will write your prescriptions (if medicine is indicated) and/or refer you for an appointment with one of our therapists who are also in the same building.
It is important to remember that although it can be uncomfortable answering all of these personal questions, it will help us know how to best help you. The information that you give us will remain confidential and is essential to help us help you return to and maintain the life that you enjoy.
