Questions about the Lexington office
Where do I park when I visit Stedfast Psychiatry in Lexington?
Free surface parking is available in front of the office, with accessible spaces by the entrance. Suite C is at ground level. The lot is shared with neighboring professional offices. You do not need a permit or validation. Call (561) 234-4467 if you have trouble finding the suite on your first visit.
Which insurance plans does the Lexington office accept?
Stedfast Psychiatry accepts most major commercial insurance plans and Medicare at the Lexington 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) 234-4467 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 Lexington provider by telehealth instead of coming in?
Yes. Our Lexington providers offer video visits for many new and follow-up appointments, as long as you are physically in South Carolina 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.
What is the wait for a first appointment at the Lexington office?
Waits vary by provider and season, but new patients are typically scheduled within a couple of weeks, often sooner. If you need an earlier slot, ask about telehealth or about seeing a different provider in the same office. The first appointment lasts about an hour so your provider can take a complete history and build a plan with you. Call (561) 234-4467 to get started.
Can I get TMS or Spravato through the Lexington 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 Lexington 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 Lexington 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) 234-4467; they will tell you what options exist, including whether an interpreter can be arranged for your visit.
