Psychiatric Evaluation in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills can buy almost anything except a discreet psychiatric appointment this month: the practices worth seeing run referral-only books, and for recognizable people the waiting room itself is a problem money doesn't fix. Privacy here is a professional requirement, not a preference. The way out starts with an accurate diagnosis. shrinkMD provides full psychiatric evaluations to Beverly Hills by secure video, with a board certified clinician and a first appointment withwithout the typical months-long wait.

Why shrinkMD
Why Beverly Hills chooses shrinkMD
From the flats to Century City to a trailer between setups, visits happen by encrypted video wherever you are in California that day, with industry calendars treated as normal scheduling inputs.
We bill no insurance, so there is no claim to surface and no database entry to leak, with flat published fees and records held between you and your board certified clinician.
What's included
What your evaluation includes
Plan for 45 to 60 minutes of real clinical work, two to four times the length of a rushed intake. Your clinician maps your symptoms and their timeline, screens the conditions that imitate one another, including bipolar patterns hiding behind depression and anxiety masking trauma, reviews medical contributors like thyroid problems and sleep loss, and documents every psychiatric medication you've tried with its dose, duration, and response.
You leave with a working diagnosis explained in plain language, validated baseline scores so progress can be measured, and a concrete plan covering medication and therapy options. Prescriptions reach your local pharmacy the same day when medication is part of the plan, and your follow up is booked before you sign off. If we aren't the right level of care, we say so and point you to what is.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
How does this stay out of the press?
There is nothing to find: no insurance claims, no sign in sheets, no waiting room. Encrypted video, flat fees, private records.
Can scheduling follow a production calendar?
Yes: visits happen wherever you are in California, follow ups run 15 to 30 minutes, and rescheduling is straightforward.
What happens after the evaluation?
Treatment starts: same day prescriptions when appropriate, a booked follow up, therapy coordination when it belongs in the plan, and measured progress from visit one.
Do I need a referral to book an evaluation?
No. You book directly, and with your permission we coordinate with your primary care clinician afterward so the whole picture stays connected.
Is a video evaluation as accurate as in person?
Yes. Psychiatric evaluation is history, conversation, and structured screening, all fully intact over secure video, and the research consistently shows equivalence.
