General Information
Making an Appointment
To schedule an appointment, call (706) 316-1908 option 2 during office hours. We require all new patients to come by the office to fill out paperwork prior to scheduling the first visit. Please see the New Patient Paperwork page for more instructions. All office visits are by appointment. Should an acute problem arise, we will try to see you the same day or facilitate hospital admission in times of emergency.
Your First Visit
Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early so that we can complete your records. Bring your medical insurance card, pertinent medical records, prior psychological test reports, and any rating scales or questionnaires given to you during your initial scheduling visit.
​
Canceling or Rescheduling Appointments
Please provide at least 24 business hours notice if you must cancel or reschedule your appointment to avoid being billed the full fee for the time our providers had set aside especially for you.

To make an appointment with an Athens Behavioral Provider:
Please print out or stop by our office and fill out the "ABM New Patient Paperwork" AND "ABM Child (or) Adult Psychiatric Questionnaire." BOTH of these must be completed and returned to our office along with copy(s) of your insurance card and driver's license in order to schedule an appointment.
Completed paperwork can also be emailed to newpatient@athensbehavioral.com.
