Question 1

Will the Doctor fulfill most of my medical needs like blood pressure and arthritis?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly. Psychiatrists manage psychological distress, principally.

Question 2

Why should I see Dr. Ranallo instead of other providers?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Ranallo is authentic and follows all protocols in the best interest of maintaining environmental harmony. Even patients with minimal distress will benefit at minimal financial risk due to his refund policy.

Question 3

What is the cost of allopathic treatment for the average psychiatry patient?

Accepted Answer

Generally, with savings programs (www.goodrx.com), monthly medication costs range from $5 to $300.

Question 4

Can I ask for my money back anytime in the first 90 days and have a refund?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, a first quarter refund, if requested, is granted without hesitation or judgment.

Question 5

Can insurance 3rd parties reimburse me for costs of treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Encouragingly, some carriers and employers are willing to reimburse medical expenses with proof of payment.

Question 6

If I sign-up and prices increase, will my price change?

Accepted Answer

No, not officially. The Doctor will hold pricing arrangements for prior contracts as a default nationwide. Please note, the Doctor retains the right to update prices on the website for new patients. Unless specifically notified, pricing updates will not apply to current patients.

Question 7

Can the Doctor see me at my home?

Accepted Answer

This is likely and partially dependent on where you live; some patients request the Doctor travel to their location for a house call. If within 10 minutes by vehicle, one way, no travel charge applies.

Question 8

Can the Dr. see me at the local coffee shop?

Accepted Answer

Possibly, although this is strongly discouraged as a rule. Having an ongoing relationship with Doctor would generally be a pre-requisite for such an appointment. For instance, an annual follow-up visit for maintenance of treatment where your progress has been favorable would presumably involve limited disclosure of socially sensitive information. Irregardless, the Doctor will interact with you appropriately in any setting.

Question 9

Why is it so important to see a Doctor for persistent psychological distress?

Accepted Answer

Psychological stability, like genomic stability, reflect harmony. Persistent distress may reflect an unsound foundation and trajectory. For this reason, distress is essential for most DSM diagnoses. Theoretically, under the right conditions, a single stem-cell can influence an entire organism. Moreover, most cells are turned over (replaced) every 7 years.

Question 10

Can I get a prescription for Seroquel (quetiapine)?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, it is considered improper to request a specific prescription as a pretense for an appointment. Under most conditions, this is referred to as ‘doctor shopping’. However, should Seroquel (quetiapine) be helpful and symptoms warrant it, it will be prescribed.

Question 11

Should I sign-up for the phone appointment or the personal appointment?

Accepted Answer

Telephone only care is a lower standard-of-care and Controlled Substances cannot be prescribed in this setting. The more distressing your condition is to you, the more important it is to be seen in person. Body language and vocal inflection communicate the majority of social information, and are incomplete via telephone. Certain medications are not suitable for prescription without an in-person appointment.

Question 12

How secure will medical records (should I elect a paper option) and patient communications  be in the home office?

Accepted Answer

I have some precautions, and you have my word I’ll do the best I can, which includes offering keeping your records offline (on paper).

Question 13

I just got out of the hospital no more than 7 days ago, should I sign up if I can’t find a doctor  to keep me on my meds?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 14

Can I see the Dr. at a conventional office?

Accepted Answer

Not easily at the present time, this can always change (like forms of payment).

Question 15

I’m local to SMU, and have noticed persistent vehicles crowding Daniel Avenue drawing  attention to the home office since May 2024, and unnecessary engine roars; are these endorsed by or  affiliated with Goldfish Concierge Psychiatry PLLC?

Accepted Answer

No. Protests come in various forms, and officially, these vehicles are, at best, protest.

Question 16

Will Dr. Ranallo suggest I take Provigil (modafinil)?

Accepted Answer

Potentially. Modafinil, under some conditions, surprisingly reduces traffic accidents; nobody likes those.
