Medication Management in South Portland
South Portland lives in the practical lane: retail and airport shifts, hospital schedules across the bridge, and family calendars that leave no margin for a waiting room hour, never mind the months long waits greater Portland quotes. So the panic before shifts and the flat, heavy evenings get filed under tired, and the file keeps growing. Psychiatric medication deserves an owner, not an autopilot. shrinkMD provides board certified medication management to South Portland by secure video, with follow up that happens on schedule and decisions driven by measured results.

Why shrinkMD
Made to fit life in South Portland
Our visits fit inside actual South Portland days: after school drop off, between Maine Mall shifts, or once the kids are down, by video from Ferry Village to Cash Corner. Fifteen to thirty minutes, on time.
Everything stays outside employer and insurer systems because we bill no insurance. Flat fee up front, records that move only with your signature, and the same clinician visit after visit.
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
Will my employer's insurance ever show a mental health claim?
No, because no claim ever exists. We bill nothing to any insurer, which keeps your care entirely yours.
Do I need to cross into Portland for anything?
No. Evaluation, follow ups, and prescriptions to your local pharmacy all happen from wherever in Maine you are.
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.
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.
