Clinic Policies
At Polished Mind Psychiatry, we are committed to providing flexible and personalized care tailored to your needs.
Residency Requirement
Patients must be residents of Texas or New York to receive care at this clinic.
Initial Evaluations
Controlled Substance Prescriptions
- If you require a controlled substance prescription, your initial evaluation must be conducted via Telehealth, with monthly Telehealth follow-ups.
Stimulant Prescriptions
- We will first explore non-stimulant treatment options before considering a stimulant prescription.
- If a stimulant is recommended, you will be required to complete an EKG and a drug screening before a prescription can be issued.
- Stimulant prescriptions are at the provider’s discretion and based on a full assessment.
- The provider reserves the right to deny any medication if deemed inappropriate for your condition.
Non-Controlled Prescriptions
- If you do not need a controlled substance, your visit will be conducted via Telehealth.
Change in Prescription Needs After a Virtual Evaluation
- If your initial virtual evaluation determines that you require a controlled substance, your next follow-up appointment will also be via Telehealth within 14-30 days, depending on the provider’s assessment.
- Controlled substance prescriptions are subject to both the provider’s and pharmacy’s discretion, and a Telehealth visit may be required before the prescription is filled.
Follow-Up Appointments
- All follow-up appointments will be conducted via Telehealth unless a change in treatment requires additional evaluation.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
- Please notify us at least 48 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. No cancellation fee will be charged for timely notices.
- If you no-show or cancel on the same day, a $100 fee will be charged for the missed appointment.
