Common questions.
Do I need to know my diagnosis?
No. Figuring that out is what the first visit is for. Symptoms often overlap, and more than one condition can be present. Dr. Lackey tells you what he thinks is going on and what is still unclear, then reviews the treatment options with you.
Will I have to take medication?
Not necessarily. The first visit is about understanding what is going on and what you want help with. If medication might help, Dr. Lackey explains the options before you decide.
What if medications haven’t helped?
That history matters. Dr. Lackey reviews what you have tried, how you responded, and any side effects. That helps guide what to consider next.
Does Coastview provide therapy?
Yes. Dr. Lackey can include therapy in your visits when it fits your condition and treatment plan. If you already have a therapist, you can keep seeing them. With your permission, Dr. Lackey can coordinate with them.
Can I follow up by telehealth?
Yes. After your first in-person visit, follow-ups can often be by telehealth.
Start with one visit.
