Cape Elizabeth, Maine
Medication Management in Cape Elizabeth
Cape Elizabeth has the resources for care and the smallness that prevents it: when town life runs through the same school, the same beach, and the same handful of parking lots, being seen walking into a psychiatric office is a real consideration. So high functioning anxiety keeps commuting into Portland every morning, polished and untreated. Medication that affects your brain should be managed, not merely refilled. shrinkMD brings board certified medication management to Cape Elizabeth by video, with appointments as soon as availability allows and progress tracked at every visit.

Why shrinkMD
Made to fit life in Cape Elizabeth
We remove the visibility problem completely: board certified care by video from your own kitchen before the commute, no office, no parking lot, no chance encounters at all.
No insurance billing means no claims and no databases, records move only with your authorization. Appointments fit commuter hours, early before 295 or evening after dinner.
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
Can I do visits before my Portland commute?
Yes, early slots exist exactly for that, and follow ups run 15 to 30 minutes, done before the coffee is.
Is video care as thorough as an office practice?
The evaluation is the same full hour, the follow up the same measured care. Only the parking lot is missing.
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.
