IMA Psychiatrist

Current consultative appts with the IMA psychiatrist are on hold. However please enter consult for “IMA BEHAVIORAL HEALTH” in EPIC and include specific referral question for psychiatry and the team will help connect the patient with ambulatory psychiatry if indicated. Referrals will be reviewed and plan communicated back to PCP via telephone message in EPIC within 2 weeks.

In the future the Ima psychiatrist will see patients at IMA for 1-4 consultative visits only. After these 1-4 visits, patients will either be referred back to PCP to continue medication regimen or referred to outside psychiatrist with the help of Triage SW.

Reasons for referral to psychiatry include: assistance with making psychiatric diagnosis, assistance with medication management for refractory depression/anxiety and other stable mental illness (e.g. bipolar disorder, schizophrenia). For all other referral reasons including controlled substance prescriptions, surgical clearance, paperwork completion, patient needing or interested in long-term care with a psychiatrist, or patient wishing to switch from their current psychiatrist, please refer to Triage SW (instead of referring to IMA Behavioral Health) for help in finding the patient an outside psychiatric provider.

Please contact Dr. Eric Woods with any patient questions via email or staff message.
