Initial Evaluation
Medication Management
Telephone Consultation
Our first session includes a comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and discussion of whether my practice is the right fit for your needs. If appropriate, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan or, if needed, I’ll refer you to another provider better suited to your care.
During this appointment we discuss how your medication is working for you. We’ll review how your current medication is working and make any adjustments necessary to support your treatment plan and well-being.
These calls are available between scheduled appointments in the event of an urgent concern, such as a new or worsening side effect from medication. While I’m happy to support you when needed, it’s generally best to schedule a full appointment whenever possible to allow for a more thorough evaluation.
