In-person & telehealth appointments
Psychiatric care that fits your visit needs.
Psychiatric medication management appointments are available through telehealth for patients across Maryland and in person at our Baltimore office. Your provider will determine whether an in-person assessment or monitoring is needed as part of your care.
UNDERSTANDING MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Your treatment deserves ongoing attention.
Starting medication can come with questions. Continuing treatment can, too. You may wonder whether your medication is helping, how to discuss side effects or whether your current plan still fits your needs.
Psychiatric medication management involves evaluating whether medication is appropriate, reviewing your response and making adjustments when clinically needed.
At Heart Own Medical Services, we approach these decisions through conversation. Your symptoms, health history, previous experiences and preferences all help guide your care.
HOW WE SUPPORT YOU
Thoughtful decisions at every stage.
Evaluating your needs
Your care begins with a review of your concerns, medical and mental health history, current medications and previous treatment experiences.
Understanding your options
If medication is recommended, your provider will explain its purpose, potential benefits, possible side effects and what to expect as treatment begins.
Reviewing your response
Follow-up appointments provide time to discuss changes in your symptoms, medication tolerability and any concerns that may affect your treatment.
WHEN TO SEEK SUPPORT

Bring them here.
An appointment provides space to discuss concerns such as:

-
Side effects or concerns about how medication makes you feel.

Questions about a previous medication experience.
