About Irving, TX

Irving is a community of approximately 250,000 residents, served by Irving ISD plus Coppell ISD for far-north sections. Neighborhoods we frequently serve include Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, the Mandalay Place corridor, Irving Heights, the URS Drive area, and north Irving near DFW airport. Local landmarks within walking, driving, or commute distance of our patients include Las Colinas Urban Center (canals and pedestrian bridges), Mustangs of Las Colinas sculpture, Toyota Music Factory, the University of Dallas, Lake Carolyn, and DFW International Airport (north Irving border). Mailing addresses we routinely see in our patient population fall in ZIP code 75038-75063 range.

Irving’s location near DFW airport means many of our patients here have travel-disrupted sleep and irregular schedules — telehealth flexibility is a meaningful fit for a routine that doesn’t reliably permit a 9-to-5 in-office appointment.

What We See Most Often From Irving Patients

Irving’s Las Colinas business district draws an unusual concentration of corporate headquarters — Verizon, Exxon Mobil’s Texas operations, Kimberly-Clark, McKesson — and a large population of executives, consultants, and knowledge workers. We see Irving patients across the full spectrum, but recurring presentations include high-functioning depression in mid-career executives, adult ADHD that’s surfaced after years of high performance, and the specific anxiety that comes with frequent business travel and disrupted circadian rhythms. Spanish-speaking patients also make up a meaningful share of our Irving caseload.

Dr. Fredes' clinical focus on telehealth, executive mental health, bilingual care, ADHD overlaps directly with the most common reasons Irving residents seek psychiatric care.

Frequently Asked Questions from Irving Patients

How long is the drive from Irving to your Southlake office, and is it worth it?

Most Irving residents see us via telehealth. For Las Colinas-based professionals, the drive to Southlake is 25-30 minutes via Highway 114 — a manageable in-person commute for the initial evaluation, with telehealth follow-ups thereafter. Most Irving patients see us via telehealth and save the in-person visits for the initial evaluation or when something specific (like ADHD stimulant prescribing) requires it.

Can I do all my visits via telehealth from Irving?

Yes, for most conditions. The exception is ADHD: Texas law and DEA rules require an in-person evaluation before stimulant medications can be prescribed. After that initial in-person visit, ADHD follow-ups can be telehealth. All other conditions can be managed end-to-end via telehealth.

What insurance do you accept?

We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX), Cigna and Evernorth Behavioral Health, UnitedHealthcare and Optum (UBH), and Oscar Health. We also offer self-pay rates and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.

How quickly can I get a first appointment?

For new patients in Irving, we usually have availability within 1–2 weeks for in-person visits and often sooner for telehealth. We will work with you to find the soonest time that aligns with your schedule and the type of care you need.

Do you prescribe medication for ADHD?

Yes. Dr. Fredes provides comprehensive adult ADHD evaluation and medication management, including both stimulant and non-stimulant medications. Note that Texas law and DEA rules require an in-person initial evaluation before stimulant medications can be prescribed, even if subsequent visits will be telehealth.

Does Dr. Fredes see patients herself, or am I assigned to a nurse practitioner?

Dr. Fredes sees every patient herself. There are no NP handoffs and no rotating providers. The doctor you book with is the doctor you see, every visit. This is a core part of how MindMED operates as a solo practice.
