Patient Testimonials
I’m very pleased with my Doctor as he keeps great track of progress and is very qualified to diagnose any issues. My only complaint is that I don’t receive the link for the video conference sometimes a few minutes before the call. These should be provided the day before or first thing in the morning.
I love my psychiatrist. She’s understanding, caring and is there when needed. The most important thing in being a doctor’s patient is trust. To get to know one other , to be comfortable and to like who your doctor is and to be yourself . The appointment scheduling is easy. Contemporary care reaches out to you one hour before your appointment with a courtesy call to let you know your appointment is on schedule.
I have received excellent care and support from these professionals. Dr. Scott Hirsch has worked closely with me and has been helpful and understanding. He’s kind, attentive and certainly has a wealth of experience in his field. I must compliment his office staff for always being available and ready to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide various forms of therapy. Psychologists, on the other hand, typically hold a doctoral degree in psychology and focus on therapy and psychological testing, but cannot prescribe medication.
Do psychiatrists only prescribe medication?
While psychiatrists can prescribe medication, their role extends far beyond that. They also provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and offer various forms of psychotherapy. A holistic approach is often taken, combining medication with therapy based on individual patient needs.
How long does psychiatric treatment typically last?
The duration of psychiatric treatment varies greatly depending on the individual’s condition, severity, and response to treatment. Some conditions may require short-term intervention, while others benefit from ongoing support and management. Your psychiatrist will discuss the expected duration during your initial assessment.
Is my information confidential?
Yes, all patient information and discussions with your psychiatrist are strictly confidential, protected by HIPAA laws. We prioritize your privacy and create a safe space for open communication. Information is only shared with your explicit consent or in specific legally mandated circumstances.
