More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

First appointment was great, got a prescription and numbers to text him if I needed him and number to fax medical history to his office, and scheduled a follow up. He never answered my texts, his number didn’t work and neither did his fax and his office number didn’t work either. Had the second appointment today and waited online for over 30 and he never showed up.

I used zoc doc for my appointment and was seen by him only to be sent to his main office. I filled out all needed information and answered his questions in the first meeting. Only to do it all again in the second meeting. Mind you I was required to fill out paperwork both times. Then when I finally get through everything I was not able to get my prescription. He said I needed to take a drug test. Which I didn’t have a problem with. I specifically asked him if it needed to be done before I can get the prescription. His answer was no but I need to get it done asap. I was never
able to get my prescription after two separate visits. And I was charged a copay twice. I have never had such a hard time getting my adhd medication filled. I’ll never book on here again

He's very nice but would not recommend. Only saw him two times and both times he said he would refill my prescription, then didn't send it in.

I would not recommend doing this. My microphone was not working the entire time though I had to exit and enter back in. I also search for this provider using ZocDoc and their information was inaccurate which is very frustrating. So far all of the doctors that I found using ZocDoc I have not been happy with

In the meeting we had, he has in stilled some hope in me which I haven’t felt in years. Can’t wait for the next appointment with him.
