Office Disclosure
Why we are doing tele-psychiatry today. Dr. Sher has been battling a condition called multiple sclerosis for several years. This neurological illness damages the part of the brain that controls walking, strength, and produces chronic fatigue. Due to the progression of this illness, she has decided to utilize tele-med or tele-psychiatry via a secure, HIPAA compliant video streaming service. This option allows her to continue treating her patients effectively. Dr. Sher makes every effort to come into the office as much as her health condition allows. Psychiatry was Dr. Sher’s calling, and MS was the trigger. She loves what she does and enjoys helping those who want to overcome life’s challenges. Because of her own personal struggles, Dr. Sher has developed a level of empathy that makes her a better doctor, mother, and psychiatrist. When you join our office, please be aware that we implement a controlled substance contract and have a medication monitoring policy in place to ensure the best care. Additionally, we utilize a mood disorder questionnaire and a psychotropic testing policy to tailor treatment to your needs. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. If you have any questions or issues with this form of care, please let our front desk staff know, and we will do our absolute best to address any questions or concerns. Thank you for trusting us with your care, and again, welcome to Sher Psychiatry & Associates. We look forward to seeing you today and are excited about your brighter tomorrow.
