Frequently Asked Questions from Plano Patients

Do I have to come into the Southlake office at all if I live in Plano?

For most patients, no. Most Plano patients work with us via telehealth. At 35 to 45 minutes' drive depending on traffic, in-person visits are practical only for the initial stimulant evaluation when ADHD medication is involved. Telehealth follow-ups are convenient.

Can Plano patients use telehealth for psychiatric care?

Yes. Telehealth is available for patients in Texas, New York, and Virginia, and most Plano patients use it for evaluations and follow-ups. Initial evaluations for stimulant medication are conducted in person. Dr. Fredes may also recommend an in-person visit when it is clinically appropriate, and she will let you know if that applies to you.

What insurance do you accept?

We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX), 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?

Openings for new patients depend on Dr. Fredes' schedule. 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?

ADHD medication is prescribed only after Dr. Fredes' own complete diagnostic evaluation, never at a first visit. Initial evaluations for stimulant medication are conducted in person, and existing stimulant prescriptions are not transferred or continued without a full evaluation.

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.
