Preparing for the Consultations

In order to ensure a comprehensive evaluation, several steps are required prior to your appointment;

• We will need to communicate with your treating psychiatrist or referring physician regarding your clinical history:
  • Have your referring physician contact our Program Coordinator by phone at 215-746-4100 or in writing, by submitting a summary of your current and past psychiatric treatment. The letter should include a history of all medications you have taken, and your responses.
• If you have ever been treated in a psychiatric hospital, have copies of the physician admission and discharge summary faxed to us at 215-746-4116. You will need to contact the records department of the hospital in order to consent to the release of the records.
   
• Prior to your appointment you will be required to complete several forms, which will be mailed to you after your initial phone call with our Program Coordinator. We recommend submitting letters and forms by fax so that we will be able to respond sooner. Our fax number is 215-746-4116.
