  • What should I expect at my first visit?

    During your initial visit, we will be attentive to your concerns, evaluate your condition, gather any necessary information to address your concerns, and discuss your goals for treatment.  We will then determine if mental health medications are appropriate for you, discuss treatment options, and decide on a plan of care.  

     

    Please come prepared with information on your past medical history, current diagnosis, and the name of your previous provider (if any). Please bring a list of past and current medications with dosage, date started, reason for taking it, and the provider who prescribed it. Please also bring in a list of all current medications. In order to safely prescribe medication for you, we need to have a complete and accurate list of medications you are taking.

     

    Taking the time to complete the forms and questionnaires sent to you before your appointment will allow us to spend our time together focusing on your concerns and goals.


    We do not prescribe controlled substances to clients who have not been evaluated in person.

  • What if I need to Cancel or Reschedule?

    If you late cancel or no show your initial evaluation, you may not be eligible to reschedule that appointment. We understand that emergency situations happen and unplanned events arise. Please be courteous and provide as much notice as possible if you cannot make it to your appointment. If you no show or late cancel 2 appointments you may be discharged from the practice.  

  • Can you refill or change my medication before my next appointment?

    Requests for changes in medications and refills on existing prescriptions are best handled during your scheduled office visit. 


    Our provider will provide enough medication to last until the next scheduled appointment. We urge you to schedule your follow-up appointment before you conclude your visit so that you do not run out of your medications. 


    In situations where you must cancel your scheduled appointment for a valid reason, the provider may provide a bridge refill as a one-time courtesy. It may seem inconvenient, but best practice is to manage medications at the time of your visit. We want to ensure that you are doing well, and you are getting the correct medications at the correct dose for you to feel your best.

  • Are there services Mindful Medication Management does not offer?

    **We do not offer emergency or crisis mental health treatment. If you are experiencing a life threatening emergency please call 911 or go to your local emergency department.  If you are in mental health crisis please call or text the crisis lifeline at 988. ** 


    We do not treat conditions we consider to be complex.  These situations will require an appropriate level of care and/or more significant support than we are able to provide. 

     

    We do not offer therapy or counseling, but we will provide current clients with local resources for these services.

We can help you live your life to the fullest.
