FAQ

Do you only prescribe/medication management, or also provide therapeutic support?

• Dr. Engler feels that its essential to treat the whole person. In the case of children, "the whole person" includes understanding not only that child, but also their family. Incorporating talk therapy  and getting to know the family dynamics from multiple perspectives enhances the therapeutic relationship, which leads to improved treatment.  This has led Dr. Engler to incorporate therapy into his prescribing habits.

Do you accept insurance?

• Dr. Engler is out-of-network for insurances.  Upon payment, you will be issued a receipt which you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. To ensure that your insurance company will reimburse you, you may wish to call them ahead of time to inquire about out-of-network benefits and reimbursement rates prior to making an appointment.
