Steps to Request and Prepare for a First Visit.
Step1: Request an Appointment
Before preparing for an appointment (Step 2), you will need to request an appointment. Please read the paragraph below for how this process works and information about why this process is important in finding the right care for you.
Our goal is to help you find the right services with the right person in the most timely fashion. You have needs and preferences unique to you as an individual and our clinicians have different areas of specialty and varying availability. Because of this we have tailored our process for reviewing your request and determining whether we have availability. Clinicians frequently close (usually temporarily) their schedules for new patients due to a variety of reasons. Because clinicians primarily manage their own schedules we may not be able to provide an accurate prediction of availability until you submit a request for treatment.
Referrals from another provider do not guarantee an appointment at WHW.
After you submit your request (click the button above to do so), you should receive an email confirmation.
You will receive an email letting you know if we have a clinician available to schedule with you within 5 days of your submission.
Are you a referring clinician?
Our goal is to help you connect individuals and families with the right services and the right person in the most timely fashion. We may not be able to offer services for a variety of reasons including lack of current availability or good fit between requests and expertise. We ask that you help the patient/client understand that a referral does not guarantee an appointment with WHW. You may connect the person you would like to refer to our website to complete the New Patient Treatment Request (NPTR) Form. However, if you would like to assist the person you are referring, you may also complete this form. We will follow-up regarding potential scheduling with the person you are referring.
If you have previously collaborated with one of our clinicians, you may contact them directly to discuss potential for referral prior to submission of the NPTR form. However, a New Patient Treatment Request (NPTR) Form will need to be completed in order to initiate the first appointment.
Step 2: Preparing for a First Appointment
If you have not completed the steps in Step 1 (above) or do not have an appointment scheduled yet, please complete that first. We can not accept any paperwork until a request has been submitted and availability has been confirmed.
There are 2 steps to prepare for your appointment, they need to be done 24 hours prior to your appointment or your clinician will need to reschedule.
