What to expect
What your first appointment actually looks like.
No mystery, no rushed fifteen minutes. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.
First visit
A 60-minute evaluation
The full picture: history, symptoms, what you've already tried, medications, sleep, stress, and what you want to be different.
Together
A plan you agreed to
If medication belongs in it, we'll say why. If it doesn't, we'll say that too. You'll understand the reasoning either way.
Ongoing
Follow-ups that fit your life
Thirty minutes, scheduled around your week, and adjusted as we go rather than set once and left alone.
Before you arrive
The practical part.
- You'll get intake paperwork through the secure patient portal after booking. Filling it in beforehand means the appointment is spent talking, not typing.
- Appointments are by video. You'll need a private spot, a decent connection, and to be physically located in Illinois at the time of your visit.
- Bring a list of medications you take now and ones you've tried before, including what happened with each.
- If someone else's perspective matters to you, they're welcome to join for part of the visit.
