Your initial consultation with Dr. Ram includes a comprehensive review of your mental health and medical history, an overview of office policies and care structure, and a thoughtful discussion of mental health treatment options. This includes an explanation of potential risks and benefits of personalized psychopharmacology, as well as an assessment of treatment compatibility to support safe, effective, and individualized mental health treatment.
