What You Should Expect

We are a primary care group that cares for individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, B.E.D., and other diagnoses. We primarily work with our patients to identify and diagnose the condition followed by the appropriate medication management. We believe in a holistic approach – combining lifestyle, exercise, mindfulness, psychotherapy and when needed, medications. Every person is unique and the key is in personalizing the right medication and the right dose. We use gene-drug information to guide the correct medication choice for the individual, instead of trying different medications to find the right one.

We approach every patient with respect. It is your mind and your body and YOU know it best. We do not believe in telling people what to do. Instead, we will work with you and provide scientific evidence and logic for the proposed plan of care. We want you to be very involved in your care as only YOU can tell us what you are feeling.

We will work with you on medication management as indicated, while you regain your balance. We believe in treating symptoms to remission, so people can be their true selves. We are open to patients of all identities, orientations, and beliefs – we urge you to bring your differences. Your strict privacy is very important to us.
