We treat an array of psychiatric illnesses and offer both in-person and virtual visits using secure, modern telehealth platforms designed to make remote appointments feel as seamless …as an office visit. As a small practice, we pride ourselves on accessibility: short scheduling wait times when openings are available, no long holds or complicated phone trees, prompt responses to calls, emails, and messages, and a willingness to work with insurers to secure medication coverage when needed.To improve medication selection and reduce trial-and-error, Simple Solutions offers pharmacogenetic (gene-based) testing. Pharmacogenetic testing analyzes specific genes that influence how a person metabolizes and responds to psychiatric medications. Results can help your clinician choose medications and dosing more likely to be effective and better tolerated, potentially reducing side effects and speeding symptom improvement. Testing is noninvasive (usually a saliva or cheek-swab sample), typically has a turnaround of about 1–2 weeks, and is interpreted by our board-certified PMHNP who integrates the results with your medical history and treatment goals. Insurance coverage for testing varies; we will discuss costs and any prior authorization options with you before proceeding. While pharmacogenetic testing can inform treatment, it is one part of a comprehensive clinical decision-making process and does not guarantee a specific outcome.Kim Vu PMHNP-BC, is here to help patients restore a good quality of life and put a smile back on their faces so they can enjoy the things that matter most. Kim and her husband live in Richmond with their four sons (two of whom are twins), and in her free time, she enjoys gardening, shopping, traveling, and family time.
