Here is some insight into the day-to-day duties of our psychiatrists.
HCC Psychiatrists expect to see a broad range of patients a day in an outpatient setting. This depends on patient needs and the cancellation rate. Providers will have roughly 3-4 evaluations spread out throughout the day, with several follow up and medication management patients. Telepsychiatry video visits and administrative duties including follow up phone calls will conclude the Psychiatrist’s workday. Ideally, the provider will spend 4 days in Bensonhurst and 1 day in East NY, but there is some flexibility depending on circumstances. Clinic hours are from 9am-5:30pm Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm on Saturdays and 9am-4pm on Sundays. Since they are open on the weekends, you can work on a Saturday and take a weekday off if necessary. There is a team of primary care physicians, pediatricians, podiatrists, nurse practitioners, dentists and other specialists. HCC has 3 health centers in Bensonhurst, East NY and a satellite location in Long Island City.
