Medication Management • Southlake
Ongoing psychiatric medication management for Southlake adults — in person at our Miron Drive office or by secure Texas telehealth. What the cadence looks like, what we can and cannot do remotely, and how we coordinate with your local primary care.
The Southlake patients who reach out to us about medication management are usually looking for one of two things: a thoughtful first prescriber for a problem that has been going on for a while, or a place to land after a previous psychiatrist closed their practice, retired, or stopped accepting new patients. Outpatient psychiatric supply across north Tarrant County is real but waitlisted, and many patients tell us they spent weeks or months trying to find continuity.
What this practice offers, simply, is a real Southlake office, the same psychiatrist for the initial evaluation and follow-ups, and a predictable follow-up cadence. None of that is glamorous, but for ongoing psychiatric care it is what actually matters.
Medication management at SLS Psychiatry is the careful selection, prescribing, and ongoing monitoring of psychiatric medications based on a clinical evaluation, current evidence, and shared decision-making. No medication is prescribed without a clinical evaluation. The first visit is 60 to 75 minutes; follow-ups are typically 20 to 50.
On a follow-up visit, the provider will review how the current regimen is working, side effects, adherence, sleep, mood, anxiety, substance use, and any recent labs. If something is not working, options are discussed openly — including doing nothing, adjusting dose, switching agents, augmenting, or stepping down. Reasonable alternatives are always part of the conversation.
Once you are stable on a regimen, follow-ups are typically every 1 to 3 months. During an active medication change, that interval is shorter. We will tell you up front when a longer interval is appropriate and when a more frequent check-in is the safer call.
Most non-controlled psychiatric medications can be prescribed and managed by telehealth for adults physically located in Texas at the time of the visit. That covers SSRIs, SNRIs, atypical antidepressants, mood stabilizers, atypical antipsychotics, non-stimulant ADHD medications, and many others.
Controlled substances — including stimulants, benzodiazepines, and certain sleep medications — are a different conversation. They are never guaranteed. Whether a controlled medication is appropriate at all, and whether it can be prescribed by telehealth in your specific clinical situation, is decided after a careful evaluation. We are clear about this up front so no one shows up expecting a prescription that is not appropriate.
Lab monitoring (e.g. for lithium, thyroid, or metabolic panels with antipsychotics) is ordered through standard local labs such as Quest or LabCorp, and results are reviewed at your follow-ups.
Our office is at 305 Miron Drive, Southlake, TX 76092 — just off State Highway 114, a short drive from Town Square. Parking is free and the building is wheelchair-accessible. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM, by appointment only. We accept UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and Aetna.
Where it helps, we coordinate with a Southlake-area primary care physician, OB-GYN, or sleep specialist with your written consent. If you need higher-acuity care that an outpatient practice cannot provide, we will tell you that directly and help you identify a reasonable next step.
