A note from Susan

Here is the process of best care for you. 1. Complete Talkspace data and see this welcome letter for what to do. 2. Complete assessments based on your needs before scheduling a date/time for initial evaluation. 3, Meet together for a comprehensive intake to determine diagnoses from your symptoms. 4. Go to Lab Corp for medical laboratory testing. 5. Consider data about genetic testing and ask what it can do for you. 6. Meet again to decide on medications to match your genes and your diagnoses. You will be the expert on best dose for you. 7. We can talk on CHAT and meet every 3 months for best care. DrSue
