Who books an evaluation in Rochester
Rochester is the Lilac City, with a historic downtown, growing neighborhoods and East Rochester and Gonic villages. Parents of students at Spaulding High School and Rochester Middle School often call after a teacher or pediatrician raises a concern, and manufacturing employees, retail and healthcare staff, and commuters on the Spaulding Turnpike often reach out when stress has turned into symptoms that do not go away. Because Rochester is about an hour from our office, most visits after the first can be by secure video.
Care for the Rochester community
Rochester residents often have long working days in manufacturing, healthcare and retail, and the drive to Salem takes about an hour. For that reason we set up most Rochester care around secure video visits, keeping in-person appointments for the times they genuinely add something, such as some first evaluations.
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.
Getting care from Rochester
Our office is in Salem, about an hour from Rochester, so most Rochester 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
Will I get a diagnosis at the first visit?
Often, though conditions such as ADHD or autism may need more information first.
