Psychiatric Medication Management in Arizona
Angela Marton, PMHNP-BC, provides expert psychiatric medication management via telehealth for patients across Arizona. Systematic prescribing, regular monitoring, and personalized care — finding what works and adjusting until it does.
How medication management works
- Start low, go slow: New medications are started at conservative doses and adjusted gradually. This minimizes side effects and helps identify what's actually working.
- Adjust based on response: Follow-up appointments evaluate what's working, what isn't, and what to change.
- Regular monitoring: Some medications require lab work or other monitoring. Angela tracks what needs to be tracked to keep you safe.
- Collaborative decisions: Every medication decision is explained. You understand what you're taking, why, and what to expect — and you have a say in the process.
What a follow-up appointment covers
Review of symptoms since last visit, assessment of medication response, discussion of any adjustments, and refills with a scheduled next appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Will I need labs or monitoring?
Some medications require periodic lab work to monitor things like kidney function, liver function, or medication levels. Angela will let you know what's needed for your specific medications and help coordinate getting it done locally.
What if I want to stop or change my medication?
That's a conversation. Some medications can be stopped abruptly; others need to be tapered off slowly to avoid problems. Angela will walk you through the options and the safest approach for your situation.
Can prescriptions be sent to my regular pharmacy?
Yes — prescriptions are sent electronically to whichever pharmacy you prefer, anywhere in Arizona. Controlled substances follow Arizona regulations.
What if I have an urgent question between appointments?
Angela's office responds to messages quickly. Most non-urgent questions can be answered without needing an extra appointment. For true emergencies, call 988 or go to your nearest emergency room.
