PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENT

This is the first meeting you will have with our doctor. For adults this usually takes one hour. For children, the evaluation can extend to several appointments. At the end of the process, our doctor will discuss a diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Kaplan Medical Group psychiatrists   

possess a unique combination of expertise. They've not only completed additional specialized training in diagnosing and treating behavioral health conditions in young people but also acquired significant clinical experience, allowing them to provide the highest quality care for your child.

If our psychiatrist recommends medication, appointments will be scheduled at regular intervals to monitor the results of treatment, assess for potential side effects, and make any necessary changes to optimize care.

Also known as "talk therapy", it is usually recommended alone or in conjunction with medication management. Therapy can be individual or family, according to your needs. Appointment frequency ranges from several a week to several a month, depending on the therapeutic modality and your progress.

Appointments are scheduled for telemedicine only, via a state of the art secure and user friendly technology developed by Zoom for our electronic medical record. If you know how to use Zoom, you are already set up. If you don't, it will take just a few minutes to learn.

The group does not accept any type of insurance. We will prepare forms that you can submit to your insurance company in case you are entitled to reimbursement. Payment in full is due at the time of the visit by credit or debit card only.
