Concierge Psychiatry in Brookline, MA
Dr. Kuhn offers a concierge model of psychiatric care—longer appointments, direct access, and a level of attention that traditional practices simply can't provide.
What Is Concierge Psychiatry?
Concierge psychiatry is a model of care built around availability, access, and time. By maintaining a limited patient panel, Dr. Kuhn can offer what most psychiatric practices cannot: same-week appointments, unhurried sessions, and direct communication between visits.
This approach means you're not just another name on a long patient list. Dr. Kuhn has the capacity to respond when you need her, monitor your progress closely, and adjust treatment promptly when things change.
