Goals for patients
- Promote a patient's sense of independence, freedom, and self-determination, to improve your quality of life, and to assist them in addressing any developmental tasks
- Determine the best way to understand patient concerns or symptoms, clarify if they have a psychiatric disorder, and offer safe and effective treatment options including levels of care and alternatives to treatment
- Educate patients about any current disorders so that they can make the most informed decisions for themselves regarding their care and treatment. Patients are the decision maker in their treatment; Dr. O'Grady and staff are here to help inform your decision making
