What to Expect at Your Appointment

UAMS has safety measures in place to protect our patients and employees. Everyone who comes to UAMS is required to wear a mask and pass a health screening before entering the building. You will also have your temperature taken. Please wear a clean mask to your clinic visit, and do not remove it until asked to do so by a UAMS employee.

Learn more about the safety measures we are taking.

Outpatient Visitor Guidelines

Patients must come to their visit alone. A friend or family member may come to an appointment only if the patient is under 18 or is not mentally or physically able to go to the appointment alone. You are welcome to include a friend or family member in your appointment by phone or video chat.

If you need a wheelchair from your car to your appointment, transport staff may be available at the main UAMS campus. Contact your clinic for more information.

Please visit our COVID-19 resources to learn more about what to expect at your appointment.

About Psychiatry Clinic

As a clinical branch of the UAMS Psychiatric Research Institute, our clinic offers behavioral health care to patients in Northwest Arkansas.

Options for Major Depressive Disorders

For some people, depression can be managed with oral antidepressants alone. But for people with treatment-resistant depression or major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or actions, there are additional treatment options. Our clinic is certified to offer Spravato nasal spray treatment for those who qualify.

Trauma-Informed Care

Our team is trained in trauma-informed awareness. We desire to have a whole picture of a patient’s life situation so that we can provide care that is focused on healing. Trauma can have a widespread impact on a person’s life, but there are paths to recovery.

Cultural Sensitivity

Cultural sensitivity is a priority at the Psychiatry Clinic. For patients who communicate in languages other than English or who are hearing impaired, there are interpreters available 24/7. This includes in-person, teleconference, or phone interpreting. We also have intake paperwork translated into Spanish and can accommodate other languages upon request.

Parking Information

Patients can park near the North Street Clinic entrance and call the clinic upon arrival for phone pre-screening. Parking is also available on the upper level parking deck near the main entrance.

Appointment Information

The Psychiatry Clinic is a self-referral clinic. Although UAMS does not require a referral for this clinic, some insurance providers require a referral for specialty care. Please check with your insurance provider prior to requesting an appointment.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

For your first appointment, please bring a photo ID and your insurance card along with a list of any medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter medications. You should also bring any medical records you can provide, including slides or test results from other clinics.

For future appointments, please provide updated medical and insurance information.

Telemedicine Information

In an effort to keep our patients and health care workers safe, we are offering virtual visits and phone visits.

This service is available to both new and existing patients. Patients should call (479) 713-8350 to schedule a telemedicine appointment.
