Dr. Finnerty's online appointment scheduler for exams and phone calls

Please note: The appointments are in EASTERN TIME

Phone calls

If you need to speak with Dr. Finnerty directly for questions/ a free consultations there may be some free 15 minute or less phone call appointment slots available- these are NOT for examinations such as completing a DBQ, they are just for quick consultations to discuss questions and options for how Dr. Finnerty may or may not be able to help. There are only a limited number of free consultation appointments available each week; these slots are available to be booked in the online scheduler and fill up quickly. If you schedule an appointment and then later no longer need it please let Dr. Finnerty's assistant know ASAP so we can free up that slot for another person. Thank you,

Examination availability

Dr. Finnerty's online scheduler for exams will only let you schedule an examination appointment 91 days out from the current date or sooner. New exams will populate into the online scheduler 91 days from the date of the appointment.

WAITLIST: There are often times when Dr. Finnerty's schedule for exams is booked up for the full 91 days from now

Dr. Finnerty's assistant is maintaining a waitlist. If you ask her to include you on the waitlist it is not a guarantee that you will get an appointment. She will reach out in the event of cancellations, however.

If there is an urgent deadline such as a hearing date that Dr. Finnerty should know about you can let us know, but Dr. FInnerty may or may not be able to get you into an appointment before that time.

You can reach Dr. Finnerty's assistant by calling (614)696-6706. She also maintains Dr. Finnerty's email at [email protected] and you can reach her by emailing there.

Please note there are other psychologists who may be able to get you in to be seen sooner. You could try one from this list, for example

Scheduling an evaluation

When you're in the online scheduler be sure to click the service at the top first and then it will load in the available dates and times in the calendar below. You can then click on a bold date to see the times- they will be available at the right (these are shown in eastern time). Then add your details on the bottom. Appointments are generally only available around 91 days in advance of the appointment time or earlier. Anyting past 91 days will show as if there are no appointments until 91 days before that date and time.

Please note: health insurance typically doesn't cover one-time examinations for forensic/legal/disability-claim reasons.

If you can't make the appointment or need to reschedule

IMPORTANT: YOU MUST ALSO CONFIRM YOUR EXAM APPOINTMENT 1-2 weeks before the appointment time (or you risk losing it to someone on the waitlist)

After an examination is scheduled you will also receive a personalized, secure onedrive link to upload your background records to Dr. Finnerty. Please send these records as soon as you can so Dr. Finnerty can review your records before the examination appointment. You can also fax them, mail them to Dr. Finnerty's office or send them as email attachments if you prefer. If you have questions on how to send records please feel free to email or call Dr. Finnerty's assistant at (614)696-6706.

You will also receive a link to complete questionnaires for Dr. Finnerty before the appointment. It would be helpful if you would complete these by at least one day before the appointment so Dr. Finnerty can review them before your appointment.

If you're not able to make it to the appointment or no longer need it, please contact Dr. Finnerty's asssistant ASAP to let him know. Also, please confirm that you will attend the meeting either by sending an email noting that you will attend or by calling Dr. Finnerty's assistant and telling her you will attend (614)696-6706.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you don't confirm that you will attend the appointment by around one week before the appointment time you RISK LOSING THE APPPOINTMENT TIME. If Dr. Finnerty's assistant doesn't hear from you to confirm the appointment she may cancel your appointment and schedule someone else in that slot. Please let us know ASAP if you do or do not plan to attend your appointment. Thank you for understanding.
