Office Forms
If, after our phone consultation, we are moving forward in the evaluation process, please complete all 6 forms and fax or email them to me.
Before your evaluation appointments begin, you must complete and sign all 6 of the forms, and return them by fax to 561-961-0082 or by email to drcarolparas@protonmail.com. I need them 48 hrs. before your first appointment.
Completion of the forms does not constitute a treatment relationship, but rather is a formal consent to participate in an evaluation.
The evaluation is a series of three appointments- one 90 minutes, one 60 minutes and one 30 minutes, completed in a two week period.
In the last appointment —-impressions and recommendations will be discusssed.
Despite this being a labor intensive process, the fees are low. Much time is spent before your visits and perhaps between your visits, reviweing records and medical data. I want to provide a meaningful service to anyone who needs clarity.
If I am not going to be treating you, I will provide a short summary of my findings to your internist or other referring physician, or clinician, or anyone I refer you to.
I strongly believe the “art of evaluation”, derived from the medical field, and lost to psychiatry & psychology (and even medicine) because of managed care, has led to long frustrating treatment experiences, without plans or strategies,, or superficial quick fixes.
Everyone is an individual. Human beings are so complicated. Good work cannot be without forethought. Individualized plans serve your goals best.
