Psychiatric evaluation for adults in Cedar Park, TX
Every new patient begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. It is the foundation for everything else: a diagnosis when one applies, a plan you understand, and a clear view of whether medication, therapy, TMS, or a combination fits.
A thorough history, not a checklist
Initial evaluations can last up to 90 minutes. We take a detailed psychiatric and social history and review your general medical history. The aim is to understand the person, not only to confirm a label.
It is built for busy professionals, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who want to be understood in context rather than processed in ten minutes.
I bring 20 years of experience as a physician to every evaluation.
The evaluation covers
- Current symptoms and how they affect work and relationships
- Family history and temperament
- Thinking patterns and beliefs
- Medical conditions and current medications
- Sleep, alcohol, substances, and daily habits
- What has and has not helped before
From evaluation to a plan
A plan you understand
Recommendations are explained, with risks, benefits, and alternatives, and revisited over time as you respond.
Medication only if it helps
Not every patient needs medication, and your preference is respected. Medication is discussed and decided together.
No refills from old prescriptions by phone
New patients need an initial evaluation before any prescription is written or refilled. This is standard good practice.
