Frequently Asked Questions
What is your general approach to treating patients?
I like to learn about the patients life and construct an evidence based approach that is unique to each individual patient.
How often will we need to meet?
Once you are stable on your medications a three month follow up is generally sufficient. Controlled substances require a monthly appointment.
How long does it take to see improvements?
It may take up to six or eight weeks to feel the full effect of antidepressants.
Are there any other treatments that are required?
Adjunct treatments such as counselling will be recommended to enhance improvement. I will collaborate with your other providers as well.
How do I get medication refills?
At each appointment there will be enough medication refills provided to get you through the next follow up.
What ages do you see?
I see ages 13 years and up. Patients are accepted when there is a mutually beneficial relationship formed.
