Becoming a Patient
At Rethink Psychiatry, Dr. Kalyanapu takes a thoughtful approach to establishing a partnership with new patients. The process involves two key steps to ensure her integrative treatment model aligns with your unique needs and goals.
Step 1: Introductory Consultation
The journey begins with a 30-minute introductory consultation, a mutual opportunity for you and Dr. Kalyanapu to explore whether her approach is the right fit for your care. During this time:
You can discuss your primary health concerns, ask questions, and learn about Dr. Kalyanapu’s integrative treatment philosophy (see How Do I Prepare for My Consultation?).
Dr. Kalyanapu will assess whether her expertise is suited to support your needs effectively.
If both you and Dr. Kalyanapu agree to proceed, you will be welcomed as a patient. If either party feels the fit isn’t right, Dr. Kalyanapu will offer recommendations to help you find the right care options.
Step 2: Comprehensive Evaluation
Once you become a patient, a two-hour comprehensive evaluation will be scheduled. During this session:
You will have the opportunity to discuss your health in depth, as Dr. Kalyanapu conducts an in-depth review of your medical and family history, previous lab results, diagnoses, and any relevant doctors’ notes.
Dr. Kalyanapu will recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
