Psychiatric Evaluation in Plano
Plano runs on a calendar with no empty slots: Legacy West deadlines, school pickups timed to the minute, and evenings triple booked. A traditional psychiatric appointment costs half a day; Collin County's waitlists cost months. Most people here never start, and the load compounds. What changes that is a real evaluation: a full clinical hour that ends in answers. shrinkMD delivers it to Plano by secure video, as soon as availability allows, from board certified clinicians.

Why shrinkMD
Why Plano chooses shrinkMD
From West Plano to Murphy, visits happen by video from home or a booked conference room, with the evaluation taking one hour once and follow ups taking 15 to 30 minutes inside a lunch block.
We bill no insurance, so nothing about your care exists in employer adjacent databases, with flat published fees and HSA and FSA funds accepted.
What's included
What your evaluation includes
Plan for 45 to 60 minutes of real clinical work, two to four times the length of a rushed intake. Your clinician maps your symptoms and their timeline, screens the conditions that imitate one another, including bipolar patterns hiding behind depression and anxiety masking trauma, reviews medical contributors like thyroid problems and sleep loss, and documents every psychiatric medication you have tried with its dose, duration, and response.
You leave with a working diagnosis explained in plain language, validated baseline scores so progress can be measured, and a concrete plan covering medication and therapy options. Prescriptions reach your local pharmacy the same day when medication is part of the plan, and your follow up is booked before you sign off. If we are not the right level of care, we say so and point you to what is.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Can I fit this into a corporate calendar at Legacy?
Yes: one hour once for the evaluation, then 15 to 30 minute follow ups that fit between meetings, by video from anywhere private.
Is care invisible to my well known employer?
Structurally yes: no insurance billing means no claims, no codes, and no records in any system an employer touches.
Is a video evaluation as accurate as in person?
Yes. Psychiatric evaluation is history, conversation, and structured screening, all fully intact over secure video, and the research consistently shows equivalence.
What happens after the evaluation?
Treatment starts: same day prescriptions when appropriate, a booked follow up, therapy coordination when it belongs in the plan, and measured progress from visit one.
Do I need a referral to book an evaluation?
No. You book directly, and with your permission we coordinate with your primary care clinician afterward so the whole picture stays connected.
