New Client Information

Thank you for trusting Dr. Gómez as your service provider. Please take the time to review all new client information to learn more about Dr. Gómez’s services, fees, and schedule. For questions, contact us.

Appointments

All new clients should book an initial diagnostic interview. Your initial appointment may take anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours, depending on how much information needs to be discussed, so please plan accordingly.

Prior to your first appointment, you will need to sign the appropriate authorization forms to proceed with the services you are requesting. Please plan on arriving at your appointment at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time to complete these forms.

During the initial interview, you will be asked to share details about your current concerns as well as historical information, such as health history, family history, educational history, social history, and previous mental health services received. Please plan on bringing copies of the documents or previous records you would like for Dr. Gómez to review and take into consideration. Because your initial appointment will focus on obtaining the aforementioned information, Dr. Gómez may request the opportunity to keep your documents for a thorough review after you have left the office. Therefore, please plan on bringing in photocopies that you would be comfortable leaving behind.

At the end of the initial interview, Dr. Gómez will offer specific recommendations about what type of services or testing, if any, may be indicated for your particular circumstances. On rare occasions, if prior arrangements are made, your initial interview may be followed by testing on that same date. However, generally, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled at a later date, if it is indicated in your case, to initiate psychological testing.

Office Hours

By appointment only.

Fees or Payment

Dr. Gómez accepts cash, checks, or electronic payments.  All payments are due at the time that services are rendered.

NOTICE: You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.  You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
