“I had a very comprehensive initial visit with a new Dr. She asked specific questions related to my issues and narrowed in on my unique concerns and conditions. She spent as much time, if not more time, gathering information than other providers I've seen for psychiatric issues online or in person. I will definitely continue to see her and use the ZocDoc portal to find other physicians in the future.”

More information on payments and coverage

Because we accept insurance, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines appropriate billing guidelines. These guidelines depend on the length of the visit and the complexity and severity of your diagnosis. For this reason, we need to wait until after the visit for the final determination. We then submit the claim to your insurance company. The charges are calculated based upon pre-negotiated prices with your insurance company. Your insurance company will then determine what amount, if any, is your responsibility per your insurance plan.

My appointment was cancelled one day before because of my “age”…. I’m 79 years old .. seems odd and actually shady to refuse to see someone because of age

It was great.

May 8, 2024Raymond R.Verified patientVideo visit

Awful experience. First of all, she had this absent look on her face the entire time as if she wasn’t listening- not ideal when spilling your struggles with mental illness. After an hour of going into great detail about my history with mental health (plus the 20 min I had to wait for her to take the virtual call after my appointment was supposed to start), she told me I needed to find an in person psychiatrist and she would not fill my prescription. I’ve been on this medication (not a controlled substance or addictive) for 5 years and only made a virtual appointment with her after calling 10+ local providers trying to get an in person appointment. Finding a psychiatrist you feel comfortable with is unpleasant and she made the whole experience awful from beginning (when she was 20 min late with no warning or apology), middle (when she looked dazed and bored while I detailed my mental health struggles), to the end (when she said I needed to find a different psych after a whole hour appt)

The provider was nice, but my overall appointment was pointless. I did not receive the help that I needed, so in the end I’m still having to seek another psychiatrist. Sorry. Just being honest.

DOCTOR GRIMES IS A LIFESAVER! She’s simply an amazing doctor with knowledge that far exceeds many other doctors. Hurry and make an appt with her- you will be thrilled you did. She was very clear with my treatment plan, and I feel so much better after 1 month!
