Keeping treatment simple for Exeter patients
Most medication follow-ups are short, and for healthcare, education and professional workers and commuters to Portsmouth and Boston a video visit avoids time off for travel. Tell us which pharmacy you use in Exeter 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.
Living in Exeter
Exeter is a historic town with a busy downtown, a well-known academy and many residents who commute to Portsmouth or Boston. Families often reach out about teen stress and attention, and adults about anxiety and sleep. The drive to Salem is about 35 to 40 minutes.
Choosing a medication
Your psychiatrist considers your diagnosis, past responses, other medicines, health conditions and preferences, then explains what the medication should do, how long it takes to work and which side effects to watch for.
Getting care from Exeter
From Exeter, our Salem office is about 35 to 40 minutes by car. Many Exeter patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
