Keeping treatment simple for Atkinson patients
Most medication follow-ups are short, and for commuters to Salem, Derry and Massachusetts a video visit avoids time off for travel. Tell us which pharmacy you use in Atkinson or near work. If a medication needs blood tests, we explain what is needed so you can have them done close to home in Rockingham County.

What we review at each visit
How you have been feeling, any side effects, sleep, appetite, weight, energy, changes in other medicines and, when needed, lab results. Then we decide together whether to stay the course, adjust the dose, switch or taper.
Living in Atkinson
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.
Coming from another prescriber
We regularly take over care when a prescriber retires, moves away or leaves a network. Call before your supply runs low, and bring a medication list and recent notes so treatment continues smoothly.
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.
Frequently asked questions
How do refills work?
Request refills before you run low. Some medications require a current visit before a refill.
Can my primary care doctor keep prescribing?
Sometimes. We can stabilize treatment and then share a plan with your primary care provider.
How often are follow-ups?
Every few weeks while starting or changing a medication, then every one to three months once stable.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Massachusetts?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
