Medication Management in Boca Raton
Boca runs on performance: the portfolio, the practice, the family calendar, the appearance that everything is handled. Which is exactly why anxiety and depression here go untreated for years, high functioning people are the best in the world at hiding symptoms, and the thought of a diagnosis floating through an insurance database keeps them hiding. Meanwhile the 3 a.m. wakeups and the shortened patience keep compounding. Medication that affects your brain should be managed, not merely refilled. shrinkMD brings board certified medication management to Boca Raton by video, with appointments as soon as availability allows and progress tracked at every visit.

Why shrinkMD
Made to fit life in Boca Raton
Our model was practically designed for Boca: board certified clinicians by private video, appointments that fit between meetings or after the close, and zero insurance involvement, which means zero claims data, zero employer plan visibility, and records that move only with your signature.
If you split the year between Boca and the Northeast, continuity is simple, we serve ten states including Florida and New York, so the same clinician follows your calendar.
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 discreet enough for someone with a public professional profile?
Yes, structurally. No insurance claims, no waiting rooms, no databases. Several of our Boca patients chose us specifically after asking this exact question.
Can my spouse and I both be seen?
Yes, as individual adult patients, each with full privacy from the other unless you choose otherwise. Many couples coordinate care this way.
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.
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.
