The frequency of follow-up appointments is individualized and determined collaboratively between you and your psychiatric provider based on your diagnosis, symptoms, treatment plan, and medication regimen.

After your initial in-person evaluation, your provider will recommend an appropriate follow-up schedule. Patients who are starting new medications, experiencing symptom changes, or taking certain medications may need to be seen more frequently.

The maximum amount of time between medication management appointments is generally three months. This is particularly important for patients prescribed controlled substances, as state and federal regulations require ongoing monitoring and follow-up.
