Consultations are spread over two 1-hour appointments. Prior to your first consultation, Dr. Bartley will request and review the patient’s entire medical record. The first consultation appointment is used to gather additional history and perform a physical exam for those patients seen in person. Family and loved ones are encouraged to attend to provide additional history. The second consultation appointment occurs 2 – 6 weeks after the first appointment and is used to provide a comprehensive case formulation and recommendations. At the patient’s request, a letter detailing Dr. Bartley’s formulation and recommendations will be provided to the patient’s regular provider.
