Medication Management in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills can buy almost anything except a discreet psychiatric appointment this month: the practices worth seeing run referral-only books, and for recognizable people the waiting room itself is a problem money doesn't fix. Privacy here is a professional requirement, not a preference. That's what unmanaged medication looks like, and it's fixable. shrinkMD delivers real medication stewardship to Beverly Hills: board certified clinicians, measured follow up, and visits that fit your actual schedule.

Why shrinkMD
Care built around Beverly Hills
From the flats to Century City to a trailer between setups, visits happen by encrypted video wherever you are in California that day, with industry calendars treated as normal scheduling inputs.
We bill no insurance, so there is no claim to surface and no database entry to leak, with flat published fees and records held between you and your board certified clinician.
What's included
Stewardship, visit by visit
Good prescribing is a feedback loop. At each visit your clinician reviews your validated symptom scores, your side effects, and your sleep, then adjusts a single variable so cause and effect stay readable. While starting or changing medication that loop runs every two to four weeks; once you're doing well it relaxes to every one to three months.
Your full trial history, names, doses, durations, responses, lives in your chart from day one, so failed experiments never get repeated. Prescriptions go electronically to your pharmacy, monitoring labs are arranged through your local clinic when a medication requires them, and your primary care doctor stays in the loop with your permission. No controlled substances, stated plainly before you ever book.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Can scheduling follow a production calendar?
Yes: visits happen wherever you are in California, follow ups run 15 to 30 minutes, and rescheduling is straightforward.
Do you treat the Westside beyond Beverly Hills?
Identically: Bel Air, Brentwood, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and all of Los Angeles, by video.
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 shouldn't mean starting over or missing a refill.
Do you prescribe stimulants or benzodiazepines?
No, anywhere. We're upfront about it before you book, and skilled with the non controlled options the evidence supports.
