Becoming a New Patient
To schedule an appointment:
I am only offering virtual services via telemedicine. I am no longer participating in any commercial health insurance panels. However, if you have out-of-network benefits in your insurance plan, you may seek reimbursement for professional fees that you pay me for your care.
I personally schedule all my own appointments for new patients by telephone. Please call me at 508-343-0001. You may also call Noor, my practice manager, at 617-517-6084 for insurance questions or further information. If you do not reach me, you may leave a confidential voice mail message and I will return your call within one working day. Be sure to tell me the best time to reach you. I usually schedule new patient visits one to two weeks ahead of time. I use only a secure telehealth method for appointments, rather than meeting in-person.
Availability:
I only have morning appointments, Tuesday through Thursday. Unfortunately, I am unable to offer same-day appointments or appointments nights or weekends. I must speak with you prior to making an appointment to determine if I have the training, skills and experience to provide the care best suited to your needs.
Interstate Practice:
I am legally only allowed to practice in the states in which I have a medical license. To see whether or not I am able to provide consultation and/or advice to you at your current location, please visit the licenses page here. I must be licensed both where I am located and where you are located at the time of the meeting. I am permitted to consult to a licensed physician who is treating you in your state if they request the consultation.
Privacy and Confidentiality:
Confidentiality and privacy are essential to all doctor-patient relationships, but this is especially important in psychiatric care. Therefore, your relationship with me is confidential and all communications between us are private. Here is a link to my Notice of Privacy Practices as required by HIPAA. I will discuss this with you in more detail during our first meeting.
