Picking the right medicine
The choice depends on your diagnosis, what has worked or not worked before, other prescriptions, medical conditions and your own priorities, such as avoiding weight gain or drowsiness. You will know what to expect and when.

Keeping treatment simple for Jaffrey patients
Most medication follow-ups are short, and for manufacturing workers and commuters to Keene and Peterborough a video visit avoids time off for travel. Tell us which pharmacy you use in Jaffrey or near work. If a medication needs blood tests, we explain what is needed so you can have them done close to home in Cheshire County.
Living in Jaffrey
Jaffrey sits at the foot of Mount Monadnock, and residents often work in local manufacturing or commute to Keene and Peterborough. Most Jaffrey patients see us by secure video because of the distance to Salem.
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 Jaffrey
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 25 minutes from Jaffrey, so most Jaffrey patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.

Usually not for every visit. Most Jaffrey patients are seen by secure video, with an in-person visit in Salem only when needed.
