How the MarylandDoc visit works
The MarylandDoc visit starts with a structured intake covering symptoms, medications, allergies, and prior treatment response. A Maryland-licensed physician (MD) reviews whether depression medication management is appropriate, whether labs are required, and whether another approach is safer. If a prescription is indicated, it is sent to a pharmacy the patient can use in Maryland. That prescription is not a referral to a District of Columbia or Northern Virginia clinic.
Follow-up is scheduled when treatment starts. Chronic therapies are commonly rechecked at about four weeks, then every one to three months, or sooner if side effects appear.
What happens next
If you want to know whether depression medication management is appropriate, start a visit. You will leave with a clear yes, a different plan, or a referral. MarylandDoc does not guarantee a prescription.
