Make follow-up part of your routine
When asking about a first appointment, also ask how ongoing visits are arranged. Treatment involves more than the first consultation: your clinician needs opportunities to review your progress, medication experience, and changing needs. Tell the team about work hours or caregiving responsibilities that affect your availability.
Keep an up-to-date medication list and note concerns between visits so you can discuss them at follow-up. If an appointment will be difficult to attend, contact the practice rather than assuming a refill or a different appointment time will be automatic.
Your physician and your treatment plan
Dr. Richard Pavelock provides addiction medicine care through video appointments. Your visit includes a discussion of your history, current medications, and goals. When appropriate, your physician may recommend medication for opioid use disorder, including buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone), with ongoing follow-up.

Questions before your Winston-Salem video visit
Does online treatment include appointments after the initial visit?
Yes. Ongoing medical follow-up is part of our care model. Your clinician will discuss a schedule based on your treatment needs, and the team can explain how to arrange and prepare for those appointments.
How do I check insurance or ask about self-pay?
Send the team your current plan information and ask about the expected cost before your visit. Coverage and patient responsibility depend on your benefits. If you are uninsured, ask about the practice’s self-pay option.
