What is Concierge Psychiatry?

It is customized psychiatric care and the benefit of having a direct doctor-patient partnership with your psychiatrist at all times. Mental health is a work-in-progress. The category of care is for those patients that require a higher level of care and more frequent contact with Dr. Scanlan. Besides having set appointment times, concierge patients also have access to Dr. Scanlan’s direct patient line for communication after hours, if needed. This higher level of care is typically reserved for professionals and those who might be more fragile and need more time to ensure success.

Customer Reviews

Where there’s a will, so they say, there’s a way. Dr. Scanlan and his assistant Melissa were both incredibly kind. They made what could be a difficult decision and process (one which had proven to be an impossible task personally for decades) so much easier to make and follow through with. I finally had the will. You do not need to wait so long as that though. Dr. Scanlan can help you will yourself to a better way. And that isn’t to suggest he will push and prod and project - at least he didn’t with me. He was a calming voice cutting through my chaotic mind bent on the catastrophic. He listened. He suggested. He offered sage advice. Ultimately, each individual has to make a choice. Dr. Scanlan will be an advocate for you in the process to free yourself from whatever awful yoke you’ve become tied - at least he was for me. He was instrumental in easing a process that saved me from suffering still more misery, and perhaps quite literally, my life. I couldn’t recommend contacting Dr. Scanlan any more than I do. Reach out and let him let you live. Good luck, godspeed and God bless. Thank you Dr. Scanlan.

I would like to recommend, in the strongest possible terms, the services of Palm Beach Outpatient Detox, and the expertise of Dr. Steven Scanlan. In working with Dr. Scanlan, he counseled me on the extremely debilitating effects that the long term use of narcotic benzodiazepine drugs can have on the patient taking them. Having been prescribed Clonazapam by a medical professional for two years, to treat my anxiety issues, I would experience horrible withdrawal symptoms and was unsuccessful at several attempts to discontinue its usage. Dr. Scanlan’s methods, which take place on an outpatient basis, were extremely effective, to the point where I feel like my life has been given back to me. The field of mental health needs more professionals like Dr. Steven Scanlan, who understands that the use of benzodiazepine medications, anything beyond the short term, can have very detrimental long term consequences that far outweigh the benefits. Thank you, Dr. Scanlan!!!!

Best Program for me After being an alcoholic for over 20 years, Dr. Scanlan made outpatient detox simple and easy. My health has returned, I have lost much of the weight I had gained. I am now attending AA meetings and have been sober for over 100 days. This is the best thing I ever did! Thank you!

Dr. Scanlon and Melissa are amazing. Dr. Scanlon gave me my life back. My sobriety date in June 2nd 2014. I know that if I continued with the path i was on I probably would not have been here today. It was so selfish and self destructive. I'm now happily retired and taking care of my 1yr old granddaughter. Thank you!!!
