Psychiatric Care Post COVID

A lot has changed in the past 3 years, some for the better, while others we
are happy to put in the rear-view mirror. Our reception staff has assumed a greater 

role in patient care since the onset of the pandemic and we are
ready to loosen some of our COVID procedures.
​
Telemedicine has made scheduling for patients a convenience, but we do need
to see patients in-person at a minimum of one to two visits annually depending on patient's health status. We no longer request patients to call from the parking lot before
​entering our office or complete a health screen.

We continue to disinfect reception areas, run air purifiers in multiple areas
in our office, and MASKS are optional in our office.


Telemedicine appointments must be conducted in a safe environment.

If driving a vehicle, PARK before checking-in. 

At Princeton Family Care Associates
the patient's personal and clinical health is our primary goal.


Princeton Family Care Associates is a multifaceted psychiatric practice committed to achieving the best outcome for our patient's recovery.

We implement a variety of comprehensive and innovative treatment approaches in making an accurate diagnosis. After an extensive evaluation process including a thorough interview, psychological testing and laboratory analysis, an individualized treatment program is devised. This plan can include psychiatric medication, hormonal intervention and alternative approaches that may include nutritional and vitamin supplements. In all cases, Dr. Fernandez reviews and approves all treatment recommendations.

Dr. Fernandez's vision for the proper treatment of psychiatric illness is not just symptom alleviation, but total remission of symptoms... not just better...well. It is well documented in psychiatric and other medical disorders that if a patient is not treated to remission, to full resolution of their symptoms, to being well, the likelihood of relapse and on ultimate worse prognosis is dramatically increased. 

The first step in the healing process is proper diagnosis, then a proper and complete selection of treatment options, and finally, a committed effort to the total resolution of symptoms.

Clinical care at Princeton Family Care Associates will often include both the Psychiatrist, Clinical Coordinator APN, and the nursing staff. Patient preference is an integral part of that treatment. When more than one clinician sees a patient, regular meetings are held for coordination of care.


Questions about treatment are always welcomed at Princeton Family Care Associates. Our practice strongly believes that an informed patient is essential to their overall well being. ​
