All patients, regardless of their mental status or history, begin psychiatric services with Dr. Rodriguez by receiving an initial evaluation. During the evaluation, Dr. Rodriguez will explain the psychiatry process, to clarify what medications are appropriate, and the reasons why specific medications are prescribed. Dr. Rodriguez and his team of psychiatric doctors emphasize the importance of educating our patients, and patients who are educated about their condition are more likely to continue helpful medications and therapies long term.
After the initial psychiatric evaluation, a course of treatment is recommended in collaboration with the patient, taking into consideration time, effectiveness, cost, and diagnosis. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine the best course of psychiatric treatment for our patients. Mental health services available to our patients include: Psychiatry & psychopharmacology, individual therapy, group counseling, TMS therapy, and IV infusion therapy for depression. A comprehensive evaluation by a medical professional eliminates the chance of entering into an ineffective or inappropriate level of care or treatment program.

If you have been to a psychiatrist in the past and did not see improvement, we encourage you to contact us to see what new, more specialized treatments are now available.
The goal with our patients is to achieve complete remission of their mental illness. This has been the outcome for many of our patients, regardless of the severity of their disorders, with the right combination of medication and clinical supervision. Dr. Rodriguez regularly reviews all treatment plans for safe and effective ways to adjust or lower medication doses over time, so that our patients can enjoy healthy lives without interruption. New patients at our practice typically have shorter time periods between follow up appointments, so our staff can monitor the medication induction process and correct any possible side effects. This allows patients to step down in the number of follow up appointments in the long run, once they are on a stable medication protocol.
