How it works

Four steps, and you are in care.

No referral, no waiting list, no being handed between people. This is the whole process.

  2. 2

    Your evaluation

    90–100 minutes · $549

    Often as early as a week out. One appointment by secure video with Dr. Sachs himself — long enough to take a real history, reach a diagnosis and build a plan.

  3. 3

    Treatment begins

    Same appointment

    Diagnosis discussed with you directly, a full treatment plan, and a prescription plan where it is appropriate — explained, not just handed over.

  4. 4

    Follow-up

    20 minutes · $145

    As often as your treatment requires, always with Dr. Sachs. No rotating providers, no starting over.

The difference

Most psychiatry makes you do the running around.

Testing in one office. A waitlist. Results weeks later. Then finding a prescriber who wants to start over from the beginning. Each step is somebody else's appointment, somebody else's invoice, and another retelling of the same history.

This practice is built the other way. One psychiatrist, one long appointment, and a plan you can actually act on — usually the same day. Dr. Sachs personally conducts every evaluation and every follow-up. Your care never gets handed to someone you have not met.

That continuity matters most when treatment begins. Where the evaluation supports it, he treats ADHD in the traditional way and explains the reasoning, the monitoring and the alternatives — which not every clinician is willing to do.

Psychiatric care

Well beyond ADHD.

Thoughtful outpatient psychiatry for children, adolescents and adults — with enough time in the room to understand what is actually going on.

ADHD

Evaluation and ongoing treatment across the lifespan.

Anxiety & panic

Clarifying what is driving it, and treating it properly.

Depression & mood

Diagnostic clarity and an individual treatment plan.

OCD

Psychiatric assessment and medication management.

Sleep difficulty

Where psychiatric and medication factors are involved.

Medication management

Ongoing physician follow-up, 20 minutes, $145.

Second opinions

A careful re-examination when a diagnosis or a medication regimen has never quite fit — including transfers of care from another prescriber.
