Welcome toDr. Patange'sPractice

I specialize in treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia. I provide comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans for each patient.

As a psychiatrist, I am a medical doctor who can prescribe medications and provide medical treatment for mental health conditions. I can also provide psychotherapy. Psychologists typically focus on psychotherapy and psychological testing but cannot prescribe medications.

Yes, as a licensed psychiatrist, I can prescribe and monitor psychiatric medications when appropriate. I work closely with patients to find the right medication and dosage, while carefully monitoring for side effects and effectiveness.

Initial consultations typically last 60-90 minutes to allow for a comprehensive evaluation. Follow-up appointments are usually 30-45 minutes for medication management and therapy sessions. The frequency of visits depends on your individual treatment needs.

I accept most major insurance plans. Please contact our office to verify coverage with your specific insurance provider. We also offer payment plans and accept cash payments for those without insurance coverage.

Yes, patient confidentiality is strictly maintained according to HIPAA regulations and medical ethics. Information is only shared with your consent or in rare cases where there is imminent danger to yourself or others, as required by law.
