Psychiatric Second Opinions
An independent clinical perspective before making a major decision about your care.
For patients who want a careful, unbiased evaluation of their current diagnosis or treatment plan.
A second opinion in psychiatry is not an unusual request. It is often the most reasonable next step when treatment has not produced the expected results, when a diagnosis has never fully fit, or when a major treatment change is being considered.
The evaluation process
A second opinion evaluation is 60 minutes and includes a thorough review of your history, prior diagnoses, current medications, and treatment to date. Prior records are welcome and reviewed carefully. The goal is an honest, independent clinical assessment - not a simple validation of what you have already been told.
The goal of the visit is not to immediately prescribe or change medications. It is to arrive at an accurate understanding of what is happening - and why - before any treatment decisions are made.
