Jayakumar Patil, MDPsychiatry · Bedford, NH

New patients

A first appointment, made simple.

Reaching out is often the hardest part. Here's exactly what to expect, what to bring, and what insurance plans we accept.

01

Call the office

Phone is the fastest way to reach us. Call (603) 669-7999 during office hours (Mon–Fri, 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM). A real person will help you set up an evaluation.

02

Share basic info

We'll ask for your name, date of birth, insurance, and a brief note on what's bringing you in. If you've seen another psychiatrist, please bring or have records sent ahead.

03

Initial evaluation (~60 min)

Your first visit is a longer appointment so we can take a careful history. We'll discuss your goals, talk through any treatment options, and decide together on next steps.

What to bring

Come prepared so we can spend the visit on you.

  • Photo ID and current insurance card
  • List of current medications and doses (including supplements)
  • Names and contact info for your primary care provider and therapist (if any)
  • Records or notes from prior psychiatric care, if available
  • Completed intake questionnaire — fill it out online and download as PDF (see below)

Complete your intake form before your visit

Fill in your medical history, insurance, and background online — then download a PDF to bring with you. Takes about 10 minutes and means more of the appointment is spent on you.

Telehealth for follow-up visits

Telehealth appointments are available for established patients. All initial evaluations must take place in person at the Bedford office.

Please don't share PHI by email or text.

Email and SMS are not secure for protected health information. For anything sensitive, call the office or bring it to your visit.
