See more about our services here: Psychiatry and Services.
FOLLOW UP VISITS
For those that wish to have medication refills, we must see our clients at least every 90 days to make sure you are on track.
You are otherwise warmly welcomed to see your provider more frequently during times of increased stress and less frequently during times of stability.
