Types of Appointments and Fees

---

For those 18 and above, a one-hour initial evaluation appointment can be scheduled with Dr. Naser or one of our three certified nurse practitioners.  This session involves information and a medical history gathering, diagnostic evaluation, treatment planning and a discussion of medication options.

Appointments are currently conducted via TeleHealth platforms.

Practitioners reserve the right to alter or adjust the timeframe and expense of these evaluations based on the number of participants in the session or other factors.  Any changes of this nature will be discussed prior to the appointment.

A credit card deposit and completed paperwork are required BEFORE scheduling. The deposit applies towards the total appointment fee and will be refunded if cancellation notice is received two business days' prior to the appointment.

For those 21 years of age and under, an initial evaluation appointment is 90 minutes in duration and can be scheduled with Dr. Naser or one of our three certified nurse practitioners.

During the appointment, the clinician will meet with the child/young adult as well as both parents to gather information and a medical history, discuss current symptomatology, develop a treatment plan and discuss medication options.

Appointments are currently conducted via TeleHealth platforms, however in-person appointments are available on a limited basis with our certified nurse practitioner, Mr. Terry Peura.
 

A credit card deposit and completed paperwork are required BEFORE scheduling. The deposit applies towards the total appointment fee and will be refunded if cancellation notice is received two business days' prior to the appointment. 

If parents are divorced or separated, individual signed Consent to Treatment forms are required BEFORE scheduling the initial appointment.

After the initial evaluation appointment, follow-up sessions are scheduled.  These appointments are up to 30 or 60 minutes in length and provide an opportunity to discuss the current treatment plan, assess symptomatology and day-to-day functioning.  In addition, medication benefits and side effects are reviewed and medications are adjusted, if needed. 

The frequency of follow-up appointments is based on the complexity of each individual. Generally, patients are seen every 6-8 weeks in follow-up. To continue to receive care and medication management, all patients must be seen at least once each year.

While therapy is not the primary focus of the practice, each clinician has limited availability to provide therapy sessions at their discretion.  

Therapists within the building can also be contacted directly for these services. In addition, we collaborate with a variety of therapists in the community and are happy to provide referrals.​

A minimum of one business day's notice is required to reschedule or cancel a scheduled follow-up appointment, otherwise the client will be charged the full appointment fee.  Missed appointments will also be charged the full appointment fee.  A minimum of 2 business days' notice required to reschedule or cancel an INITIAL appointment, otherwise the deposit will be forfeited.
