Every appointment is with a fellowship-trained physician who is board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, almost always by secure video, for the full range of adult psychiatry.
How your Alameda Alliance coverage works with us
Alameda Alliance serves Alameda County residents, most of them through Medi-Cal. Visit costs, including any copay, are set by your specific Alliance coverage; the member services number on your Alliance card can confirm what a psychiatry visit will cost you. Request an appointment and tell us you have Alameda Alliance, and our office will take it from there.
If your Medi-Cal plan is different
We are in-network with Alameda Alliance specifically. If your Medi-Cal coverage runs through a different plan or county, contact our office before booking and we will point you in the right direction.
