Through June 15, our office will continue to see all medication management patients exclusively via telemedicine. This allows us to conserve our PPE for patients with severe depression undergoing procedures which cannot be delayed, like transcranial magnetic stimulation, ketamine infusion therapy, or SPRAVATO (nasally inhaled esketamine) therapy.
Over the next month, we will be developing a re-opening plan and preparing the office to most safely resume in office appointments. Because so much remains unknown and predictions suggest a surge in COVID-19 cases over the next month, we are being overly cautious and will post an update as soon as we have determined when in office appointments will resume.
