Get in Touch

The simplest way to start is the form below. Every inquiry gets a reply within [State a response window you can actually keep — two business days is the usual promise. If you handle inquiries yourself rather than through an office, say "I respond" rather than "my office responds."]

Please don't use this form for emergencies

This form is not monitored continuously. [State when it actually is checked — e.g. "checked during business hours only" — and keep it consistent with the Hours card on this page. Say nothing about monitoring you will not keep to.] If you are in crisis, call or text 988, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.

A note on privacy: this form travels over an encrypted connection, but email and web forms are not a fully secure medium for detailed health information. Please share only what's needed to start the conversation — I'll follow up so we can cover the details somewhere more appropriate.

I'm reaching out about

Message A sentence or two is plenty — please avoid detailed clinical information here.

I understand this form is for non-urgent inquiries only, and that submitting it does not establish a physician–patient relationship.

Office

[Street Address]
[Suite]
[City, State ZIP]

[One line of arrival practicalities — parking, transit, which building entrance to use. If you practice by telehealth only, replace the address block above with a plain statement of that and the states you can see patients in, rather than leaving a blank address.]

Academic affiliations: Stanford University · UCSF. [Add a clarifying line if clinical care happens somewhere other than your university appointments — patients frequently assume a Stanford or UCSF address means they can be seen at those institutions.]

Phone & Email

Phone: [(555) 555-5555 — add the number patients should call, then restore the tel: link so it is tappable on mobile]
Fax: [Secure fax for records, or delete this line if you use a portal or secure upload instead]
Email: ppellionisz@stanford.edu

[Consider a dedicated practice email on your own domain for patient inquiries rather than your university address — a stanford.edu mailbox is governed by the university, may not be an appropriate destination for patient health information, and does not travel with you if your appointment changes. Keep the university address for research and clinician correspondence.]

Please don't email detailed health information. [Name the secure channel patients should actually use for clinical detail, and confirm it exists before you name it here. If you run a patient portal, say which one and what it is for (most solo practices use the portal built into their EHR — SimplePractice, Osmind, Charm, Athena — or a standalone secure-messaging service), and put its real URL on the "Patient Portal" link in the footer of every page. If you do not have a portal, the honest answer is "please call the office instead" — write that, and delete the footer Patient Portal link rather than leaving it pointing at "#".]

Hours

[Days and hours you take appointments and return calls, e.g. Monday–Thursday 9:00 am – 5:00 pm; Friday 9:00 am – 1:00 pm; weekends closed. Also state who covers when you are away, since patients on medication need to know that before they start.]

For Clinicians

If you are weighing whether a patient might be a candidate for neuromodulation — fMRI connectivity-guided TMS targeting, low-intensity focused ultrasound, or another stimulation approach — I am glad to think it through with you, including when the honest answer is that the evidence does not yet support it.

More broadly, I welcome conversations at the intersection of psychiatry, neuroimaging, and medical devices, especially with clinicians, researchers, and builders working on brain stimulation, functional imaging, or interventional psychiatry.

Email ppellionisz@stanford.edu, or send records to [secure fax number or referral address]. [Be specific about what a referring clinician can expect, since this is the page they will act on: whether you offer an informal curbside conversation, a formal consultation with a written note back, or screening for a research protocol; what records you want up front (medication trial history, prior TMS or ECT course, recent imaging); and your turnaround commitment. Your CV documents TMS, focused ultrasound, and kTMP as research work — say plainly whether a referred patient can be seen clinically, considered for a trial, or both.]
