Care for Riviera Beach Patients
Psychiatry from home
Video visits mean you don’t need to cross two counties to see a psychiatric provider. Your first evaluation, medication changes and follow-ups can all happen online.
Medicaid and Medicare
We accept both, along with most commercial plans, and we have sliding-scale rates if you don’t have insurance.
Kids and teens on video
Families in Riviera Beach often find video visits easier than pulling a child out of school for a long drive. A parent or guardian joins from the same room, and visits can be scheduled after school when there’s an opening.
When an office visit makes sense
Long-acting injections have to be given in person, and some people simply prefer a face-to-face first visit. Either way, the drive is about an hour, so we’ll try to book it at a time that works around traffic.
