Frequently asked

Your questions, answered

Everything you'd want to know before scheduling a consultation.

Your first appointment is a comprehensive 60-90 minute evaluation. Dr. Kotla will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Together, you will develop a personalized treatment plan. Please bring any prior medical records or medication lists.

Yes, we offer secure video consultations for patients who prefer remote sessions. Online consultations are available for follow-ups and certain initial evaluations. You can book an online appointment through our Contact page.

Treatment duration varies depending on the condition, its severity, and individual response. Some patients see improvement within weeks, while others may benefit from longer-term care. Dr. Kotla will discuss expected timelines during your evaluation.

No. Our self-help tools are screening instruments and relaxation aids designed to support your well-being. They are not diagnostic tools and cannot replace a professional evaluation. If your scores suggest concern, please schedule a consultation.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD) who can prescribe medications and provide therapy. A psychologist typically holds a PhD or PsyD and provides therapy and psychological testing but cannot prescribe medication in most regions. Both play important roles in mental health care.

Not necessarily. Treatment plans are individualized. Some conditions respond well to therapy alone, while others benefit from a combination of medication and therapy. Dr. Kotla will discuss all options and help you make an informed decision.

Yes, strict confidentiality is maintained for all patient information. Information is only shared with your written consent, except in situations where there is imminent risk to yourself or others, as required by law.

We accept UPI payments, bank transfers, and cash payments at the clinic. For online consultations, UPI payment details are provided during the booking process.

Absolutely. Having a trusted family member or friend can be helpful, especially during the initial evaluation. Family involvement can also be an important part of certain treatment plans.
