Office policy

My practice is private and confidential. My records are never released. I have been pursuing a goal to provide psychiatry at the best of my abilities for over twenty years. I have opted out of managed care contracts to continue this pursuit. The benefit of my practice policy is mutual. I get to do what I consider to be my life's work. My patients are able to receive my direct, uncompromised attention. This is not without its costs.

Among these, my patients invariably pay greater out of pocket expense than if they were consulting with a "network provider". Also, my patients file their own insurance claims. Payments are then made to the patient, not to me. For these reasons I do not accept Medicaid or Medicare. My practice does not include disability or legal issues. The fee for the fifty minute hour is one hundred and forty-five dollars.
