OUR WORK · MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Prescribing as ongoing work, not a transaction.
Most psychiatric medication gets prescribed once and revisited rarely. We treat medication as the conversation it actually is, with follow-up that matches the seriousness of what we're managing.

THE SERVICE
What it actually is.
Medication management means a provider on this team is responsible for your psychiatric prescriptions and for the regular conversations about whether they are doing their job. It is not a refill service. It is care.
We see patients for medication management after an initial evaluation, either an evaluation with us or one done elsewhere that we agree with. The visits are shorter than the first one because they have to be. The work in each visit is checking in on what is working, what is not, what has changed in your life, and whether anything in the plan needs to change with it.
WHAT TO EXPECT
How follow-up actually works.
Follow-up appointments happen on a schedule that depends on what we are managing. Patients early in treatment or going through a medication change are seen more often. Patients who are stable and have been on the same plan for a while are seen less often. The schedule is the floor, not the ceiling. You can reach out between visits if something changes.
We talk about side effects directly. If a medication is helping the target symptom but introducing a side effect you can't live with, we change course. Trading depression for sexual dysfunction or weight gain you don't want is not a successful outcome.
We also revisit whether you still need the medication at all. Continuing a prescription year after year without asking whether it is still needed is one of the most common failures of psychiatric care. We don't do that here.
WHO THIS IS FOR
People who want prescribing taken seriously.
Patients who have completed an initial evaluation with us. Patients transferring care from another psychiatrist or primary care prescriber who want a practice that will pay attention. Patients who feel like their current medication management has become rote and want it to be considered again.
FAQ
Questions.
It depends on what we're managing. Stimulants and certain other controlled medications require regular follow-up by regulation. Other medications have flexibility based on how stable you are. We talk about the schedule openly and adjust as needed.
Yes, through the patient portal. Non-urgent questions are reviewed during practice hours. Urgent clinical concerns are handled differently and we explain that process at the first visit.
