What to Expect at Lyte Psychiatry
Your first visit usually lasts 50 to 60 minutes. Your provider will ask about your symptoms, medical history, current medications and what you want help with. You will discuss possible diagnoses and treatment options together. If medication is appropriate, your provider can send the prescription to your pharmacy.
Follow-up appointments are usually shorter, often 20 to 30 minutes. These visits give you and your provider time to review side effects, discuss what has improved and decide whether your treatment needs to change.
Before your first appointment, our team checks your insurance benefits and explains the expected cost. You will continue seeing a consistent care team, and you can contact the practice if a medication concern comes up between scheduled visits.
