During your initial new patient consultation, we will discuss what brings you to see me.
I typically ask questions about your current mood and stressors. I also ask about your current and past physical and mental health. We will discuss your social and family history. After a thorough review of your symptoms, we will discuss any applicable diagnoses, review treatment options, and plan for follow up.

A physician assistant (PA) is a licensed medical professional who holds an advanced degree and is able to provide direct patient care. They work with patients of all ages in virtually all specialty and primary care areas, diagnosing and treating illnesses and performing procedures.

PAs are capable of:
Diagnosing illnesses
Ordering and interpreting laboratory tests and X-rays
Prescribing medications
Developing and managing treatment plans
Advising patients on preventative care and optimal health practices.
While PAs work in collaboration with a supervising physician, this does not mean they work under direct supervision of a physician. Most work independently, operating under a set scope of practice determined by state law.
