Medication Optimization

We do NOT do “maintenance” medication management/refills, or long-term prescribing of opioid or other stable pain medications.

We do “active” medication optimization, which involves working with patients who are interested in adjusting their medications with the ultimate goals of limiting risks and side effects while enhancing benefits, minimizing medication reliance in general, and reducing or eliminating opioids entirely if possible.  At such a time as there is no longer active optimization of medications going on (no changes for six months), the patient’s pain medications will be transitioned back to their primary care provider.
