Who We See in Salisbury
Salisbury anchors a region built on poultry processing, agriculture, healthcare and the summer economy of Ocean City. Many of our patients work long production shifts, hospital rotations or seasonal jobs that leave little room for a weekday appointment, let alone a trip across the Bay Bridge. Video visits let people get care from home without giving up a day’s pay.
We also see Salisbury University and UMES students, teachers, nurses and families in the small towns of Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset counties. Isolation, financial stress and limited local options come up often, along with anxiety, depression and sleep problems.
What We Treat
Visits cover psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis and medication management for adults. Common reasons people book:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression, including postpartum depression
- PTSD and trauma and OCD
- Bipolar disorder and insomnia
- Medication management and prescriber transfers
- ESA letter evaluations in Maryland
