Deep TMS and IV ketamine treatments have been shown to be breakthrough treatments for patients with depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and bipolar depression.
Important Notice for Current and New Patients
I wanted to let you know that after 11 years at Psychiatry Associates of Kansas City, I left PAKC last year and on December 1, 2021, joined Interpersonal Psychiatry, where we do Deep TMS and IV ketamine treatments. We are located at 1010 Carondelet Drive, Suite 320, Kansas City, MO 64114. All appointments are televideo and we do take nearly all insurance plans.
If you previously saw me at PAKC, we request patients to go to www.pakconline.com, then click on Patient Forms, then click on Release of Information Form, then select Disclose Information and fill out the request to transfer records online, requesting records to be sent from Dr. Handoo at PAKC to Dr. Handoo at Interpersonal Psychiatry, as it can take up to 30 days for records to be transferred.
I do look forward to continuing your care at Interpersonal Psychiatry and seeing you there.
