Appointments: 

A referral from your family doctor is required and must be faxed to the number above. I am only able to take a few new patients each month. 

Note: At this time, I am unable to take any new patients.

Practice:

Family Medicine Practicing in Psychotherapy 

My practice is restricted to psychotherapy and psychopharmacology of psychiatric disorders.

Note: I am unable to return phone calls or emails if no medical chart exists.

Your family physician's office is required to contact me.

Sometimes patients are given my name from a list to call from visits to other clinics or ERs. Unfortunately, without a written request from your family physician's office (or phone call from the family physician's office for informal questions), I cannot respond to any phone calls or emails. I cannot return medically-related phone calls or emails if there is no active medical chart  -- please speak to your family physician's office to contact me. 

Note:

-If there is an emergency please speak to your family physician or go to your local emergency department. Do not leave a message or email for emergency situations.

-It is not possible to return messages on or between these dates:  --

 If there is an urgent situation please follow the emergency plans we have discussed beforehand -- your family physician, if not available the replacement or walk-in physician, the emergency department (most ER's have crisis teams and can offer you help). If you have missed an appointment, for example, and need a refill of your medication, please speak to your pharmacist to see if a refill is possible until we meet/teleconference again (otherwise you will have to see a physician to refill).
