NEW PATIENT INFORMATION
Here's everything you need to know before your first appointment.
WHO THIS PRACTICE IS FOR
Rao Psychiatry is a private-pay, boutique psychiatric practice. We see a limited number of patients by design — so that every person who walks through the door receives Dr. Rao's full attention.
THIS PRACTICE IS THE RIGHT FIT IF YOU:
-
Are seeking a thorough psychiatric evaluation, not a rushed visit
-
Want medication management grounded in evidence and safety
-
Are looking for a psychiatrist who also integrates therapy
-
Value a long-term care relationship, not just symptom management
A NOTE ON CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
Dr. Rao follows evidence-based guidelines for all prescriptions. She does not maintain or prescribe high doses of controlled substances outside of established safety protocols. If you are seeking to continue high-dose controlled medication regimens, this practice may not be the right fit. We believe in being upfront about this so you can make the best decision for your care.
