During your first visit
Your first visit is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and lasts about 60 minutes. Dr. Nnaji will ask about what brings you in, your symptoms, your health and family history, and your goals. Together you will talk through a diagnosis and a treatment plan, which may include medication, lab work, or referrals.
After your first visit
Follow-up visits are usually about 30 minutes. How often you come back depends on your treatment plan.
