About

Psychiatric Clearance. Simplified.

AlviPsych is a telepsychiatry practice built around one job: removing psychiatric clearance as a bottleneck in surgical care.

Surgical teams need a dependable clearance partner. Patients need a respectful visit that doesn’t stall their procedure. We deliver both, with a signed report returned in 48 hours.

Why we exist

Our reason for being, and where we’re headed.

Mission

AlviPsych removes psychiatric clearance as a bottleneck in surgical care. We deliver standardized, telehealth-based pre-surgical psychiatric evaluations that give surgeons a clear, defensible clearance decision within 48 hours — and give patients a respectful, low-friction path to the care they’re already pursuing.

Vision

A future where no surgical timeline is delayed by avoidable friction in behavioral health, and where every surgical team — from bariatric to neuromodulation, from transplant to cosmetic — has a trusted psychiatric partner one QR code away.

What we stand for

The operating principles behind every evaluation and every report we send.

Clarity over complexity

Plain-English reports, clear recommendations, no jargon-padded equivocation.

Speed with rigor

48 hours is a commitment, not a shortcut. Validated instruments. Consistent criteria. Every report.

Respect for the patient

A psychiatric evaluation is a clinical encounter, not a gatekeeping checkbox. Every person is treated as an adult making an informed decision.

Partnership with surgeons

We work downstream of the referral — to remove work from the surgical team, not to add another hoop.

Privacy by default

HIPAA-grade tooling. BAAs before PHI. No exceptions.

Standardization, with clinical judgment

Uniform screeners give surgeons predictability; clinical interviews give patients the nuance they deserve.

Who we’re here for

Two audiences, one promise.

For surgeons and surgical coordinators

AlviPsych is the dependable pre-surgical psychiatric clearance partner — standardized telehealth evaluations and a signed, defensible report returned in 48 hours, so procedures move forward on schedule and nothing stalls at the behavioral-health step.

For patients

AlviPsych is a respectful, virtual visit that keeps your surgical timeline intact — no waiting lists, no in-person travel, no guesswork about what happens next.

What we do

We perform pre-surgical psychiatric clearance evaluations over telehealth, using a consistent set of validated screeners and a structured clinical interview. Patients connect from anywhere; surgical teams receive a standardized, signed report they can drop into the chart.

Clearance is cash-pay and priced transparently, with a signed report returned to the surgeon and patient within 48 hours of the visit.

Aditya Shah, DO

Founder and CEO

Dr. Aditya Shah understands how frustrating it is to put your life on hold while waiting for surgery. A board-certified psychiatrist and Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS), Dr. Shah saw firsthand how 3-to-6-month wait times for psychiatric clearance were causing patients to lose motivation, see their lab results expire, and miss out on crucial procedures.To fix this, he gathered a specialized team to create AlviPsych: a dedicated telehealth platform designed to get you cleared for surgery in days, not months. As the Medical Director of the Mendala PolyTrauma Clinic and the founder of Icarus PLLC, Dr. Shah has built a career around providing highly specialized, precise psychiatric care. Together with his team, he designed the AlviPsych evaluation process to be accessible, secure, and seamlessly integrated with your surgeon’s requirements so you can move forward with confidence.
