Next step
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
After Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
