Medication Management in Roanoke
Roanoke is the biggest city for a hundred mountainous miles, so every county's shortage becomes its waitlist: routine outpatient psychiatry stretches months while the valley's health systems carry demand from the whole Blue Ridge region. The star shines on a lot of people waiting. Psychiatric medication deserves an owner, not an autopilot. shrinkMD provides board certified medication management to Roanoke by secure video, with follow up that happens on schedule and decisions driven by measured results.

Why shrinkMD
Made to fit life in Roanoke
From Grandin Village to Salem to the New River Valley, visits happen by video from home or a parked car between jobs, with railroad and healthcare shift rotations treated as normal scheduling.
We bill no insurance, fees are flat and published, superbills are provided, and the insomnia rotating shifts manufacture is treated as the condition it is.
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
Do you reach the smaller mountain counties?
Anywhere in Virginia with a connection, identically: the mountain counties are exactly where telepsychiatry earns its keep.
How fast can I be seen in the valley?
Usually within days of booking, compared to the months long regional waits, and early treatment is easier treatment.
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.
