Care for the Merrimack community
Merrimack has a strong commuter and corporate population, and many patients come to us during demanding periods at work or when children start to struggle at school. Because the drive to Salem is around 35 to 40 minutes, many Merrimack patients pair one in-person visit with regular video follow-ups.
Early signs families notice
- Withdrawing from friends and activities
- Unusual beliefs, suspiciousness or confused speech
- Hearing voices or seeing things
- A sharp drop in school or work performance
