Is "when capacity allows" actually how it works, or is it marketing?

Same-day or same-week appointments may be available depending on scheduling and clinical fit. Submitting an intake is a request, not a confirmed appointment. Dr. Vinuela personally reviews the request before scheduling.

What if my message arrives on a weekend or Friday evening?

Dr. Vinuela personally reviews each request. The practice follows up through the existing email or phone path when the request has been reviewed; an intake request is not a confirmed appointment.

Does scheduling guarantee medication?

MindGuyMD does not prescribe controlled substances, including stimulants and benzodiazepines. If Dr. Vinuela determines that consideration of a controlled medication is clinically indicated, and the patient provides written authorization, he will coordinate with the patient’s primary care physician or another appropriate prescriber. The outside clinician remains responsible for their own assessment and final prescribing decision. No medication or prescription is guaranteed.

I’m in NJ but visiting another state — does this still work?

Telepsychiatry is delivered only when you are physically located in New Jersey, as required by NJ telemedicine law. If you travel, the visit reschedules to a day you’re back in NJ. Mindset coaching is non-clinical and available nationwide year-round — see /pricing for the retainer.

What if I need to reschedule an appointment?

Reschedules happen — just give as much lead time as you can. There is no per-reschedule fee. The intake holds for a reasonable window; longer postponements typically get re-routed to the next available slot.

What is the cost of the first 60-minute intake?

The one-time 60-minute telepsychiatry evaluation and the monthly mindset coaching retainer are the two tiers on the /pricing page, billed and scheduled separately. A superbill for out-of-network reimbursement is provided on request; HSA / FSA funds are accepted at the visit.
