“I have enjoyed working with Dr. Akunna. She has been very comforting to work with and has never made me feel uncomfortable opening up regarding my difficulties. She's open minded and when I had questions regarding changing a medication she was great with discussing my concerns with the current medication, what my options were for switching, the benefits for the alternate medications and how to do the transition.”

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.
