What People Like
Patients value the integrated psychiatric care model — medication management, therapy referrals, and interventional treatments under one roof. The clinic’s acceptance of commercial insurance for Spravato is a financial differentiator.
What People Don’t Like
Does not accept Medicare or Medicaid at the Raleigh location, and IV ketamine is cash-pay. Some patients note wait times for new-patient psychiatric intakes.
Getting Started at Avance Psychiatry
Call 919-748-4878 to schedule a new-patient psychiatric evaluation. Ketamine and Spravato are offered only after a psychiatric assessment confirms candidacy.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression affects more than 21 million U.S. adults each year.
