EXPERT DIAGNOSIS AND PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
<THIS IS THE PREFERRED WEBSITE TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH DR. MOYER>
I have seen thousands of patients over the last 20 years. I am skilled at psychiatric diagnosis and medication management. I am in-network for nearly all health insurances. I do NOT accept Kaiser, MediCARE or MediCAL (this includes the MediCAL plans named United Health Care Community, Aetna Better Health, and Blue Shield Promise). I cannot accept private pay for patients with MediCARE or MediCAL.
Clinical Approach
I strive to be a caring and compassionate psychiatrist who will listen to your story attentively and help you feel at ease. After collecting your initial history, I will provide you with a diagnostic understanding of your situation--taking into account both biological and environmental contributing factors. Specific treatment recommendations will provide you with a plan to improve your quality of life. When there are multiple effective treatment options available, I try to let patients participate in the decision-making process by educating them about acceptable available choices. My overall goal is to help you feel better as soon as possible. Initial assessment: 45 minutes. Med-mgt f/up visits: 15 minutes.
