DIRECT REFERRALS
A simple, streamlined referral process.
We designed our intake to minimize friction for referring providers and their patients — clear expectations, prompt follow-through, and quick scheduling.
Send the referral
Fax or securely message the referral. Please include reason for referral, current medications, relevant psychiatric and medical history, and recent labs when available.
We review & schedule
Our team reviews the referral, contacts the patient to schedule, and confirms insurance and intake paperwork prior to the first visit.
Warm hand-off
New patients are typically seen within 2–3 weeks. Urgent referrals are triaged the same business day when possible.
CARE COLLABORATION
What referring providers can expect.
Our practice is built around collaborative care. You stay informed, your patient stays supported, and treatment decisions are made together.
Timely consult notes
You will receive an initial consultation note after the first visit summarizing diagnosis, treatment plan, and medication changes.
Ongoing communication
We share progress updates at meaningful clinical milestones and any time medication changes affect co-managed care.
Shared treatment planning
For patients you continue to see, we coordinate on labs, monitoring, and adjunctive medical concerns so care stays aligned.
Clear scope & hand-offs
We communicate clearly when a patient is stabilized and appropriate for return to primary care, or when a higher level of care is indicated.
