A commuter town on Casco Bay
Care that fits a busy Falmouth schedule
Falmouth lies along Casco Bay just north of Portland, a leafy commuter town of busy professionals and families, from Falmouth Foreside and the Portland Country Club to the trails of the Gilsland Farm preserve. Many here drive into the city for work each day, and the last thing a packed calendar needs is another midday appointment and a round trip on Route 1 or 295.
shrinkMD fits psychiatric care into a full life instead of asking the life to bend around it. You meet your clinician by secure video between meetings, before the commute, or after the kids are settled, with no waiting room and no waitlist holding up your start.
You'll work with a clinician licensed in Maine who stays with you over time, the same warmth, continuity, and follow up you'd expect from an in person practice, reached privately from anywhere in Falmouth.

shrinkMD operates on a transparent self pay basis, so you always know the cost up front, with no surprise bills. If your plan includes out of network telehealth benefits, we can provide the documentation you need to submit for reimbursement.
We're built for timely access.
