When an office visit helps
Your psychiatrist may recommend an in-person visit at our Salem office for some first evaluations, younger children, physical checks, or when rules for certain controlled medications require it.

Why Portsmouth patients choose telehealth
Portsmouth is a historic port city with a busy downtown around Market Square and neighborhoods from the South End to the West End. Our Salem office is about 45 to 55 minutes away by car, so video visits save travel time for staff at the Pease Tradeport, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard workers, and people in hospitality, healthcare and tech. Because Portsmouth is close to Maine, plan video visits for times when you are physically in New Hampshire.
Living in Portsmouth
Portsmouth brings together a busy downtown, the Pease Tradeport and a large military and shipyard community. Many residents work irregular hours in hospitality or healthcare, and some cross the bridge into Maine for work. Video visits are popular, provided you are in New Hampshire at the time of the appointment.
What you need
- To be physically in New Hampshire during the visit
- A phone, tablet or computer with camera and microphone
- A private, quiet space and a stable connection
- A phone number where we can reach you if the video drops
