A fresh opinion
When treatment has stalled or a past diagnosis feels wrong, a review evaluation can help. Bring old reports and a list of medications tried, with doses and how long you took them.

Who books an evaluation in Atkinson
Atkinson is a small residential town on the Massachusetts line. Parents of students at Atkinson Academy and Timberlane Regional High School often call after a teacher or pediatrician raises a concern, and commuters to Salem, Derry and Massachusetts often reach out when stress has turned into symptoms that do not go away.
Care for the Atkinson community
Atkinson is a small residential town on the Massachusetts line, just a short drive from our Salem office. Many residents work in Massachusetts, so in-person visits in Salem or video visits from home in New Hampshire are both common.
Time to set aside
A first evaluation usually runs between an hour and an hour and a half. Short questionnaires sent ahead of time make the visit more focused, and later appointments are briefer.
Getting care from Atkinson
Our office at 215 South Broadway in Salem is about 15 to 20 minutes from Atkinson, so in-person visits are practical. Many Atkinson patients come in for the first appointment and use secure video for follow-ups.
