Questions about the Goose Creek office
Is there free parking at the Goose Creek office?
Yes. Free surface parking is available in front of the building, with accessible spaces near the suite entrances. We occupy Suites B and F; both are at ground level. Check your confirmation for which suite your provider uses. If you have mobility needs and want to confirm the closest accessible space before you arrive, call (561) 234-4344 and our front desk will walk you through it.
Do you take my insurance in Goose Creek?
We accept most major insurance plans and Medicare, and we will check your specific benefits before you come in. Because networks change and some plans require a referral or prior authorization, the fastest way to confirm is to call (561) 234-4344 with your member ID. Patients without coverage, or who choose not to use it, can book a self-pay new-patient evaluation for $185.
Do you offer telepsychiatry for patients near Goose Creek?
We do. Established patients can usually alternate office visits with secure video visits, and many new patients can complete their first evaluation by video. State licensing rules mean you must be located in South Carolina during the appointment. Call (561) 234-4344 and ask for a telehealth appointment; we will send a link and simple instructions before your visit.
How soon can a new patient be seen in Goose Creek?
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) 234-4344, 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.
Can I get TMS or Spravato through the Goose Creek office?
Not on site. None of our South Carolina offices currently offer Deep TMS or Spravato; those treatments are available only at our Florida locations, with Deep TMS in Palm Beach Gardens. Your Goose Creek provider can discuss whether travel to Florida makes sense, help you weigh other options for treatment-resistant depression, or coordinate a referral closer to home.
Is there a Spanish-speaking provider at the Goose Creek office?
None of our South Carolina providers is currently listed as Spanish-speaking. If you or a family member would be more comfortable in Spanish, tell our scheduling team when you call (561) 234-4344; they will tell you what options exist, including whether an interpreter can be arranged for your visit.
