Winter Park, Florida
Medication Management in Winter Park
Winter Park polish hides plenty: the Rollins student spiraling quietly through midterms, the family on the chain of lakes whose calm is administrative rather than real, the professional who has been white knuckling panic on the morning drive down Park Avenue. Psychiatric waits in greater Orlando run months, and the more polished the community, the longer people pretend they can wait. That's what unmanaged medication looks like, and it's fixable. shrinkMD delivers real medication stewardship to Winter Park: board certified clinicians, measured follow up, and visits that fit your actual schedule.

Why shrinkMD
Made to fit life in Winter Park
We see Winter Park within days, by video, from home, office, or a quiet corner of campus. Rollins students keep their clinician through breaks anywhere in Florida and beyond graduation across our ten states.
Privacy is built in rather than promised: no insurance billing, no claims, no databases, and no waiting room run-ins on Park Avenue. One flat fee, same clinician, every 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
I already see a therapist in Winter Park. Do I need to switch?
No, keep them. We handle evaluation and medication and coordinate with your therapist with your permission; the combination outperforms either alone.
How fast can I actually be seen?
Within days, anywhere in Orange County. The months long regional waits are precisely the problem we were built to solve.
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.
