Who books an evaluation in Hanover
Hanover is a college town on the Connecticut River, home to Dartmouth College. Parents of students at Hanover High School and the Frances C. Richmond Middle School often call after a teacher or pediatrician raises a concern, and university and hospital staff, researchers and graduate students often reach out when stress has turned into symptoms that do not go away.

If the patient is a child or teen
A parent or guardian takes part and describes development, school progress and family history. Teenagers also get private time with the psychiatrist. With permission, school and pediatric reports are part of the picture.
Care for the Hanover community
Hanover is a college town where students, researchers, clinicians and families live side by side. Students and staff who travel often, or who live across the river in Vermont, need to schedule video visits for times when they are in New Hampshire.
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 Hanover
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 50 minutes from Hanover, so most Hanover patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
Frequently asked questions
Can the evaluation be done by video?
Often, yes, if you are physically in New Hampshire during the visit. Sometimes an in-person visit is recommended.
How long is the first appointment?
Usually 60 to 90 minutes.
Will I get a diagnosis at the first visit?
Often, though conditions such as ADHD or autism may need more information first.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Vermont?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
