Medication Management in Queens

Queens runs on airport shifts, restaurant hours, and hospital rotations, and its psychiatric supply runs on a weekday-clinic clock that fits none of them. The most diverse county in America waits months for care that should fit around work, not compete with it. Psychiatric medication deserves an owner, not an autopilot. shrinkMD provides board certified medication management to Queens by secure video, with follow up that happens on schedule and decisions driven by measured results.

Medication Management in Queens - board certified telepsychiatry from shrinkMD

Why shrinkMD

Made to fit life in Queens

From Astoria to the Rockaways, visits happen by video at hours that respect JFK, LaGuardia, and hospital scheduling, with follow ups of 15 to 30 minutes that fit between shifts.

We bill no insurance, so care stays entirely between you and your clinician, with flat published fees, superbills on request, and prescriptions to your neighborhood pharmacy.

What's included

From handoff to dialed in

Many patients arrive mid treatment, a prescriber retired, moved, or simply stopped paying attention. After an evaluation and records review we can usually continue your non controlled medications without missing a refill, then begin actually optimizing: one change at a time, tracked with validated scores until the numbers and your life agree.

Visits run 15 to 30 minutes by video on a cadence your treatment sets, every two to four weeks while tuning, stretching to quarterly once stable. Side effects, interactions, and the question of whether you still need each medication all stay on the table at every visit. Labs are coordinated locally when needed, and nothing here ever touches an insurance database.

Frequently asked questions

Good questions, clear answers

Is this private from my family and community?

Completely. Visits happen behind your own closed door, nothing bills through insurance, and no one learns anything unless you tell them.

Which neighborhoods do you cover?

All of Queens identically, from Flushing to Forest Hills to Far Rockaway, by secure video wherever you have privacy.

Do you prescribe stimulants or benzodiazepines?

No, anywhere. We are upfront about it before you book, and skilled with the non controlled options the evidence supports.

How do labs work with a telehealth practice?

We coordinate orders through your local clinic or lab, lithium levels, metabolic panels, thyroid checks, and review results together. Telehealth changes the visit, not the monitoring standard.

Can you take over prescriptions from my previous provider?

Usually yes, for non controlled medications, after an evaluation and records review. Switching should not mean starting over or missing a refill.
