I run my practice by myself to keep my overhead down. This choice has certain advantages, most notably that I deal with everyone directly and that it is easy to keep your case confidential. It also has some disadvantages, primarily in that I sometimes have to triage requests for my time and that it isn't feasible for me to spend lots of time on insurance company or legal paperwork. If you want a doctor who

• limits the size of his practice,
• does a careful diagnostic interview,
• deals with you directly,
• does psychotherapy with some patients,
• is usually available by phone or email,
• does telepsychiatry,
• doesn't do 10 minute appointments,
• doesn't recommend that everyone who sees him gets medication, and
• doesn't make you wait (over 95% of my appointments start on time).

I think that there is a good chance we can work together successfully.

If you

• need to have lots of forms filled out frequently or urgently,
• want a disability evaluation,
• are involved in a legal case, or
• just want to be seen for 10 minutes once or twice a year for medication refills, I am probably not the best doctor for you.
