Dr. Kligman combines deep knowledge of brain chemistry and psychopharmacology with a patient-centered, collaborative approach.

Medication, refill & monitoring policy (key points)

  • Follow-up appointments are scheduled and refills provided to last until the next visit.
  • Patients are responsible for tracking remaining medication and requesting refills before running out.
  • Telephone refills are generally limited to enough medication to last until the next appointment, which will be scheduled promptly.
  • Once stable, patients are asked to return for ongoing monitoring at least every four months.

Federal rules limit prescriptions for narcotics, stimulants, and other controlled substances to a one-month supply; these require a written prescription and cannot be phoned in. Patients should plan refills around weekends and provider vacations.
