Our Care Philosophy

At Aspire Medical Group, our philosophy is to treat every patient as if they were a family member or friend. We will treat you with the same, dedication and commitment that we would invest in those closest to us. You are more than just a set of symptoms and test results. We strive to provide care by acknowledging each person's individuality while providing unconditionally compassionate care, educating patients and families, and striving to promote a healthcare environment that is therapeutic and respectful of all human beings.


We believe in taking a holistic approach to care, respecting our patients' cultural beliefs, ethnic background, and personal preferences. Our clinicians are patient-focused, approaching health and illness through the lens of the whole person, and believe that health can only be achieved when all aspects of the patient, including physical, emotional, spiritual, cultural, and environmental are addressed. We will put your best health interests first.

FAQs

    Contact us by phone or email to schedule an appointment. If you have a specific question regarding our services, please use the contact form for the fastest response.

  • Do you offer crisis service or walk-ins?

    We do NOT offer walk-ins or crisis services. If you have an emergency, DO NOT CALL THE OFFICE, CALL 911 INSTEAD. We recommend you visit an Emergency Room for any emergent or crisis situations, as they do not require an appointment and will take walk-ins and provide crisis services.


    There are NO on-call providers or appointments at our offices after hours.


  • What are your fees?

    Please confirm your insurance coverage with our office staff prior to scheduling an appointment. We do not provide free services. Telehealth appointments are still medical appointments and will be treated as such (including paying balances upon services rendered).


    We offer assistance to individuals on a case-by-case basis. Payment plans, a sliding fee scale, and assistance with specialty medication discounts are available.

  • Will the cost of treatment be covered by my insurance plan?

    We take a variety of insurances in MA and NH, as well as private pay (cash, debit, and all major credit cards). Your balance is due at your scheduled appointment (if the balance is not paid in full, the appointment will be rescheduled).


    For more information, please call our office at 617-991-9151 or email us at info@aspiremedgroup.com

  • How long will my appointment last?

    Initial psychiatric evaluation appointments are 45 minutes to 1 hour long. 


    Most follow-up sessions are 20-30 minutes, but they may be scheduled for longer to best serve the needs of the individual patient.

  • What will happen during my first appointment?

    A review of your psychiatric history, presenting symptoms, current medications, and lifestyle will be discussed during the initial psychiatric evaluation. The provider will gather the required documentation to adequately assess, diagnose, and treat the patient.


    The patient will be given treatment recommendations and discuss potential side effects, efficacy, and duration of treatment. The provider will develop a treatment plan that best suits the needs of the patient. The patient has the right to refuse treatment or inquire about alternative treatment options. If it is outside the scope of our practice or a higher level of care is warranted, we will provide referrals to a provider or facility that can better serve your needs.

  • How often do I have to follow up with my provider?

    Most follow-ups occur between 1 week to 2 months. Rarely, 3-month appointments are scheduled for patients (usually only for established patients that have been stable on medication for a prolonged period of time).


    The frequency of appointments varies depending on the complexity and case of the individual patient. Prescriptions are filled up until the next scheduled appointment. Patients are responsible for contacting the office if a refill is needed.


    Please do not contact providers directly outside of office hours. 


  • What is a PMHNP and what can they do for me?

    A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is a certified advanced practice nurse that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of mental illness and psychological problems. Some providers also offer primary therapy services.


    In this setting, the PMHNPs primary role would be to recommend, prescribe, and manage medications when appropriate and review the risks, benefits, and alternatives to medications. When appropriate, the PMHNP would order and review labs. PMHNPs primarily provide medication management and, occasionally, supportive therapy. Oftentimes, patients would also work with a therapist for therapy sessions. We have a relationship with several area therapists and can provide referrals to established patients.

  • Are Telehealth appointments available?

    Our providers are available for in-person and telehealth consultations.


    Online sessions allow you to see a provider from the safety of your home, at a time that is most convenient for you, through our easy scheduling platform.
