Keeping treatment simple for Hudson patients
Most follow-ups are short and can be done by video from home, which matters for Hudson residents working in Nashua, the Route 3 tech corridor or local manufacturing. Tell us which pharmacy you use in Hudson or near work, and if a medication needs blood tests we will explain where and when to have them done.
Hudson patients who work in Nashua or along Route 3 can often take a follow-up visit by video on a lunch break, as long as they are in New Hampshire and have a private space.

What follow-ups include
- How you have felt since the last visit
- Side effects, sleep, appetite and energy
- Any new medicines or health changes
- Lab results when a medication requires them
- Whether to keep, adjust, switch or taper the medication
How medication management works
Your psychiatrist chooses medication with you based on your diagnosis, history, other medicines and preferences, explains how long it should take to work and which side effects to watch for, and then reviews progress at regular follow-ups. Doses are changed one step at a time so it is clear what is helping.
Changing prescribers
If your previous psychiatrist or nurse practitioner has retired, moved or left your network, call us before you run out. After an evaluation we can continue or adjust your treatment. Bring your medication list and recent records.
