Arranging the Appointment
Atlanta Medical Psychology (The Medical Quarters)
is located in north Atlanta at the junction of Northside, Scottish Rite and
Saint Joseph Hospitals at I-285 (the perimeter interstate).
Whether referring private patient, a patient for
treatment evaluation, a pre-surgical evaluation, psychological disability
determination, worker's compensation assessment or second opinion IME, the
referral can be made:
- on-line referral at
any hour.
- telephone: 404.252.6454 during office hours
- facsimile: 404.851.9286
- via e-mail: (personal questions cannot be
answered online)
- Questions from the General Public must be
submitted through the
Discussion Group.
Referrals most often come from physicians, nurse
case managers, claims adjustors, attorneys and self-insured companies.
The information needed
to initiate a referral is the patient's name, the nature of the referral, and
the contact name and telephone number of the referring individual.
Psychological evaluations span an average of
5-6 hours. New patients should be scheduled early in the day, insuring that
Dr. Adams will be able to complete and communicate his diagnostic findings
within 24 hours of seeing the patient.
This office sends the patient an information letter
and map prior to appointment but only after they have been notified by the
referral agent. The letter explains the nature of the appointment, length,
parking, and restaurant accommodations. IME's should be provided a 2-3 week
advance notice.
We see patients who live within a radius of four
hour drive. There are numerous hotels in our area.
