Get Started

Dr. Hedaya’s consultation process is thorough-going and lengthy. It is through this focused time-intensive process that Dr. Hedaya finds the answers to patients’ complex medical problems. He wants to know you well — your medical history, your psychology and your dreams for your future.

 

Best Results

Patients who are committed to their treatment, able to be disciplined in carrying out the treatment recommendations, and who have a supportive other to assist them in doing so see great results.

 

Initial Consultation

Initial visits usually are 3.5 to 4.5 hours in duration. You will be given detailed instructions about what to bring to your session as well as a host of forms to complete before coming in.

As a starting point, please collect all of your medical records-particularly lab data and brain scans (and for children growth charts) going as far back as possible and put them in chronological order.

Dr. Hedaya will review your prior medical records, which often provide useful clues as to the nature and causes of your problem.

The evaluation will include a history, a partial physical a review of records and collateral interview with someone whom you trust, who has known you well. He or she can help expand on your medical history, and an extra ‘set of ears’ will be helpful to you.

During the initial consultation, you will be given a follow-up appointment and recommendations to implement right away.

Congratulations. You’ve taken the first step on the road to good health.

We’d like you to be able to see the depth and breadth of the work up you will receive when working with Dr. Hedaya.

“Learning how to test the HPA Axis opens the door to a new level of evaluation for my patients. It certainly expands my treatment options. It gives me a way to show people that they need to do something about their stress—I can show them something concrete.”

“Again, your attention to her needs is greatly appreciated. We were lucky to find you. It is astonishing that she saw so many providers, and not a single person was able to pull everything together the way you have. She has been told so many times that there is nothing wrong (labs are normal, you should have no trouble running now, it’s characterological, etc.), so even if you had not devised a treatment plan, just having validation of her pain and difficulty has been therapeutic. You really are a medical detective!”

“Someday I would love to share with you my experience with psychiatry while I was on active duty. It was a stunning education for me, and based on that experience I vowed that if I ever had a loved one who needed psychiatric assistance, I would never, ever trust them to that system. You have restored my faith in psychiatry, and that feels like a great relief.”

He has been anxiety-free for the entire year and also had a huge spiritual awakening this last semester at school which has changed him greatly.
