​

​

​

Your personalized summary may include:

• Your current medication list

• Medication changes discussed during your consultation

• Tips for staying organized

Is this a replacement for my doctor?

​

No.

These consultations are designed to help you better understand your medications and prepare for conversations with your healthcare providers.

​

I do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medications, or replace your physician or primary pharmacist.

​

​

Will you change my medications?

​

No. Any medication changes should always be made in consultation with your prescribing healthcare provider. If questions or concerns arise during your consultation, we'll discuss them together so you can have an informed conversation with your physician.

​

​

Can you identify medication interactions or duplicate therapies?

​

As part of reviewing your medication list, we may discuss potential medication-related concerns that could be important to address with your healthcare provider.

​

The purpose of the consultation is to help you better understand your medications and prepare informed questions—not to replace medical care or independently change your treatment plan.

​

 

Are appointments virtual?

​

Yes.

​

All consultations are conducted through a secure virtual video appointment, allowing you to participate from home.

​

​

What should I have ready before my appointment?

​

Depending on your consultation, please gather:

• Your medication list or medication bottles

• Vitamins and supplements

• Hospital discharge paperwork (for Transition Home consultations)

• Recent medication changes

• A list of questions you'd like answered

​

​

Do you work directly with my physician?

​

No. You're welcome to share your medication summary with your physician, specialist, or other members of your healthcare team if you believe it would be helpful.

​

​

Who can benefit from these consultations?

​

My services are designed for:

• Adults managing multiple medications

• Patients transitioning home after hospitalization
