Buckingham Advanced Psychiatry is a separate practice from Buckingham Psychiatry and works with commercial insurance. A separate practice from Buckingham Psychiatry. What this means
Interventional psychiatry · Doylestown, PA

When depression hasn't lifted with medication, there are other options.

We offer BrainsWay Deep TMS for depression and OCD, and SPRAVATO® (esketamine) nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression. Our care is led by a psychiatrist who is board certified in general and addiction psychiatry. We work with commercial insurance.

Online scheduling is for TMS evaluations. Insurance, privacy and paperwork details. For non-urgent scheduling only; in a crisis, call or text 988.

Treatments

Two treatments, one careful evaluation

Both treatments are for adults whose depression has not improved enough with antidepressants, and Deep TMS is also used for OCD. Before you start, we review your history in detail and help you decide which option, if either, fits.

Two practices, one building

How we differ from Buckingham Psychiatry

Buckingham Advanced Psychiatry and Buckingham Psychiatry share clinical leadership and a building on Route 202. They are separate practices with separate billing.

If you already see a clinician at Buckingham Psychiatry, you can still be referred here for TMS or SPRAVATO®, and your ongoing care there does not change.

Getting started

What happens after you call

  1. Call or get referred

    You or your clinician contacts us. We ask a few questions to see whether an evaluation makes sense.

  2. Check your benefits

    We confirm your coverage and explain what you are likely to owe before anything is scheduled.

  3. Evaluation

    A psychiatrist reviews your history, past treatments and safety considerations, and recommends a plan.

  4. Authorization and start

    We submit the prior authorization your plan requires. Treatment starts once it is approved.

Insurance & cost

Call us for insurance details

Coverage for Deep TMS and SPRAVATO® depends on your specific plan. The quickest way to find out where you stand is to call us at (484) 212-6067 with your insurance card in hand.

We'll check your benefits, explain what you're likely to owe, and handle any prior authorization your plan requires before treatment starts.

Helpful to have when you call

  • Your insurance card
  • A list of antidepressants you've tried, if you know them
  • The name of your current psychiatrist or prescriber, if you have one
For referring clinicians

Referring a patient

We accept referrals from psychiatrists, primary care clinicians, therapists and other behavioral health providers. You keep managing your patient's ongoing care. We handle the evaluation, authorization and treatment course, and send you updates along the way.

Clinical questions before a referral are welcome. Call and ask for Dr. Buinewicz.

Our approach

Interventional, and evidence-based

Buckingham Advanced Psychiatry is led by Jacob Buinewicz, MD, who is board certified in general psychiatry and addiction psychiatry. He trained at Sidney Kimmel Medical College and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he now supervises psychiatry residents.

We start with the diagnosis. Some depression that looks treatment-resistant turns out to be something else, such as bipolar disorder, a substance or medication effect, a sleep disorder or a medical condition. We look for these first, so that you only start a treatment course if it is likely to help you.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 or call 911. Our office is not set up for emergencies, and we cannot respond to urgent needs through this website.
