Safe prescribing
We check for interactions with your other prescriptions, order blood tests when a medication needs them, and follow New Hampshire's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program requirements for controlled medications. If a medication is no longer needed, we plan a gradual taper rather than stopping suddenly.

Keeping treatment simple for Merrimack patients
Most follow-ups are short and can be done by video from home, which matters for Merrimack professionals at corporate campuses and along the Route 3 corridor. Tell us which pharmacy you use in Merrimack or near work, and if a medication needs blood tests we will explain where and when to have them done.
Merrimack's corporate employees often travel for work. We help plan refills and visit timing around travel, and video visits work well as long as you are in New Hampshire at the time.
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
Already on medication?
We regularly take over care from other prescribers and from primary care doctors who would like a specialist to manage psychiatric medication. A complete medication list and recent notes help us avoid any gap.
Getting to us from Merrimack
From Merrimack, our Salem office is about 35 to 40 minutes away by car. Most Merrimack patients combine one or more in-person visits with telehealth follow-ups from home.

Every few weeks while starting or changing a medication, then every one to three months when stable.
Can follow-ups be by telehealth?
Yes, most can, when you are in New Hampshire.
How do refills work?
