Care that starts with the smallest change likely to help.
I start with the smallest change likely to help and build from there. My job is to make sure you understand your options well enough to choose.
Symptoms rarely have one cause. Better Place Now is built around time: a full 60-minute first visit, evening and weekend appointments by secure video, and a plan for medication, sleep, stress, health, and daily life that you understand well enough to choose.
Experience from inside the system.

Care people remember.
“I highly recommend Justin! He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, and really takes the time to listen. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and provides thoughtful, personalized care.”
“I walked into my first appointment nervous and honestly embarrassed to open up about what I was going through. He made that so much easier than I expected. He genuinely cared, he listened, and he never once cut me off or rushed me. At the time, my anxiety had gotten bad enough that I was struggling to function day to day. He was patient with me through all of it and took the time to actually understand what was going on instead of just handing me a prescription and sending me on my way. He continued to monitor how I was doing, and any time I had a question or concern about my medication, I never had trouble getting a response. I’m in a much better place now, and a lot of that is because of him. If you’re nervous about starting care, he’s the kind of provider you want. Highly recommend. Thank you soooooo much Justin.”
“It can be hard to find a provider that actively listens to their patients, and I truly felt heard and supported. As a student and a working mom, it was so refreshing to have a provider who is flexible with hours and available outside the normal 9 to 5.”
“Dr. Justin ordered a genetic test and we found out which medications were causing side effects. Unbelievable care. He also sent vitamins to my door.”
“Dr. Justin took the time to figure out my medications. He didn’t push meds on me, and I was actually able to get off some.”
“Good care. Dr. Justin listens to me.”
