DISCLAIMER: Completing our forms does not guarantee an appointment. A doctor-patient relationship is not established until the decision to create one is made at the conclusion of the initial psychiatric diagnostic evaluation. Therefore, a person does not become a patient of Shaw Wendi Fortuchang, M.D., PC / The Fort Christian Psychiatric Center (or its associates) until decided so by Dr. Fortuchang. Prescriptions are only provided once a person becomes a patient.
**We routinely check the prescription history of every potential (and existing) patient via The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. This extremely important safety measure is mandated by The Georgia Composite Medical Board, The Georgia Department of Public Health, The Georgia Psychiatric Physicians Association, The American Psychiatric Association and The American Medical Association. IMPORTANT: *If it is determined that you are not a fit for our practice, or that a more acute level of care is required (ie: crisis stabilization via hospitalization, partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient services), and our outpatient virtual services are insufficient for your needs, we will notify you immediately. We are not an acute care facility and we do not provide such services.*
