Stedfast Psychiatry in Boynton Beach, FL

Our Boynton Beach office is the practice's original home and still its largest, with nine providers across two suites on the Bethesda Health City campus. Boynton Beach has one of the highest shares of residents over 65 in Palm Beach County, and the western neighborhoods along Hagen Ranch Road and Jog Road are built around 55-plus communities such as Valencia Reserve, Aberdeen, and Cascade Lakes. That shapes the care we deliver here: a large part of our work involves late-life depression, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, and the mood and memory changes that come with medical illness. We also treat families from Canyon Lakes, Sun Valley, and the eastern side of town, including teens and children from age 8 with the right provider.

Questions about the Boynton Beach office

Is there free parking at the Boynton Beach office?

Yes. Free surface parking surrounds the Bethesda Health City buildings, with accessible spaces near each entrance. Allow a few extra minutes at mid-morning, when the campus is busiest. The building has elevator access to the seventh floor. If you have mobility needs and want to confirm the closest accessible space before you arrive, call (561) 437-2179 and our front desk will walk you through it.

Which insurance plans does the Boynton Beach office accept?

Stedfast Psychiatry accepts most major commercial insurance plans and Medicare at the Boynton Beach office, and our billing team verifies your benefits before your first appointment. Coverage can differ by provider and by plan, so please have your insurance card ready when you call (561) 437-2179 to schedule. If we are out of network for your plan or you prefer not to use insurance, a self-pay new-patient visit is $185 for an initial evaluation of about one hour.

Can I see a Boynton Beach provider by telehealth instead of coming in?

Yes. Our Boynton Beach providers offer video visits for many new and follow-up appointments, as long as you are physically in Florida at the time of the visit. Some situations still call for an in-person visit, including certain controlled-substance prescriptions and evaluations where your provider needs to examine you. When you schedule, tell us whether you prefer video or office visits and we will match you with a provider who offers them.

How soon can a new patient be seen in Boynton Beach?

Most new patients are offered an appointment within one to two weeks, and sooner when a provider has an opening or when you are flexible about video visits. Call (561) 437-2179, and our scheduling team will take your insurance details, ask a few questions about what you need, and match you with a provider who sees your age group and concern. The first visit is a full evaluation of about one hour.

Is Spravato or TMS available at the Boynton Beach office?

Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray is offered here for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Dosing is self-administered under supervision, followed by at least two hours of monitoring, and you must arrange a ride home. Deep TMS is offered only at our Palm Beach Gardens office, about a short drive away, and your Boynton Beach provider can refer you there if TMS is the better fit.

Are there Spanish-speaking providers at the Boynton Beach office?

Yes. Andres Luque sees patients in Spanish at this office, and you can ask for a Spanish-speaking provider when you call (561) 437-2179. Ana Paula Aun also sees patients in Portuguese. Our front desk can also help with scheduling in Spanish.
