What is Durham Psych?

Durham Psych PLLC is a small psychiatry private practice whose goal is to improve quality mental health access in our community. 

By focusing on Tele-Health services and opting out of participating with insurance companies, common pitfalls such as inaccessibility, overbooking, lateness and other errors and limitations can be avoided.

Your Provider

David Arthur Aguilar, MD

He/Him/His

Dr. Arthur Aguilar is a bilingual (Spanish and English) board certified psychiatrist. He trained in New York City and has spent most of his career practicing in North Carolina. His practice style is informed by his psychotherapy training and his love for education.

“You are the Capitan of your own ship” was a quote said by Dr. Arthur’s mentor to each patient. Modeled after this, Dr. Arthur prefers a patient-centered model of care focused on collaborating to help people reach their goals.


Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

Diagnosis and medication management of primary psychiatric disorders. In the future, psychotherapy will be added as well.

Do you offer in-person appointments?

The services are offered as Tele-Psychiatry visits. However, when clinically necessary, in-person appointments can be conducted at our Downtown Durham office.

Do you prescribe controlled medications?

Yes. The dosage and duration of the prescription will depend on the individual’s needs. In general, the lowest dose and for the shortest duration needed will be prescribed to help folks achieve their goals.

What are the rates of your services?

Intake appointment and Extended Appointments (Up to 60 minutes) are priced at $370. Follow up appointments (Up to 30 minutes) are priced at $185.

Do you offer Sliding Scale payment?

Currently, no. It is a plan and a goal to give accessibility to folks who otherwise would not be able to access mental health care. However, this is a goal for a time when the practice is well established and we have a good grasp on the new aspects of healthcare that come with owning a practice instead of working for one.

How do I set up an intake appointment?

Only credit and debit card payment is accepted. All payments are done through our EMR’s Portal.

I reached out in an email or a voicemail, when do I hear back from you?
