ARE YOU ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS?
Absolutely! I will always accept new patients and look forward to exceeding your expectations with my care and services.
DO YOU ACCEPT REFERRALS?
Your referral is the highest compliment that you can give my practice. I welcome your referrals and will always strive to accommodate the needs of your friends and family.
DO YOU HAVE EARLY OR LATE APPOINTMENTS?
My practice is open on Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, and closed for lunch from 12:30-1:30 pm. My latest appointment is 5:00 PM. If you desire an early or late appointment, we highly recommend that you schedule your next visit before you leave our office. This will insure that you are able to schedule at the time most convenient for you.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL AN APPOINTMENT? WILL I BE CHARGED?
Not if you cancel your appointment 24 hours in advance or if you have an unavoidable personal emergency. Otherwise, last minute cancellations deny other patients the benefit of treatment they need. I appreciate every effort you can make to give me as much notice as possible if you need to cancel or change an appointment. I understand that occasionally an emergency will present itself and that there is no other option. Patients are not charged for cancellations due to genuine emergencies, but if you have repeated occurrences, I may ask that you keep a credit card on file that will be charged whenever you have a broken appointment. I am committed to providing services to patients that demonstrate a firm commitment to their psychotherapy.

WHERE IS YOUR OFFICE?
My office is located in Edmond, Oklahoma at 1366 East Fifteenth Street, Edmond, OK 73013. Situated 2 miles west of I-35 and 1 mile east of the Broadway Extension, we enjoy a close proximity to Downtown Edmond, Pelican Bay Water Park, Spring Creek Shopping Center, and the University of Central Oklahoma.
DO YOU ACCEPT MY INSURANCE PLAN?
We work diligently to assist you in receiving insurance reimbursement for my services. I am not on any discounted insurance company panels and am what is considered an "out of network" provider. Most insurance companies will partially pay for my covered services as an out-of-network provider. A few insurance carriers require you to see only providers on their approved panel. As a courtesy, my office staff will assist you in filing insurance claims for my services with your insurance carrier. Your insurance carrier will then make a determination of whether they will reimburse you for my services - and if so, how much. You will be responsible for all professional fees regardless of your insurance carrier's policy
