What to Expect
I respect your desire for privacy and confidentiality as well as superior treatment. My office provides an environment that is safe and comfortable.
​
When you are ready to schedule your first appointment, you will need to fill out the Intake Packet, so I can better understand you and your needs. Please call my office at 817.916.8200 to schedule your appointment and bring the completed packet with you to that first visit.
​
Our first conversation will be about you, your concerns and needs. I will summarize the findings and further discuss with you the most appropriate next steps.
