Telehealth in Ames, IA

Accessible Care for Ames, IA

Psychiatric Medication Management

Between Iowa State University's demanding academic calendar and the pace of life across Story County, finding a psychiatric provider in Ames who has real openings can be a challenge. Tiffany typically sees patients the same day or next, so care fits your schedule instead of the other way around.

Tiffany holds an active Iowa license and brings over 30 years of psychiatric experience to conditions including ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, smoking cessation and addictions. Every visit happens from wherever you're most comfortable, whether that's a dorm room, farmhouse, or home office.

Virtual Primary Care

From managing high blood pressure and diabetes to hormonal imbalances (including menopausal therapy and low testosterone), erectile issues, PCOS and thyroid conditions, we handle the chronic issues that keep Story County residents coming back year after year.

Central Iowa's farm country brings its own seasonal challenges, from corn and soybean pollen allergies to acute concerns like the flu, rashes, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, eye problems, injuries and acute pain.

We can easily order labs to be drawn at Mary Greeley Medical Center or another lab near you, review the results, and send specialty referrals if needed.

Weight Loss Consultations

Iowa consistently ranks among the higher-obesity states in the country, and Tiffany has seen firsthand how much GLP-1 therapy can change that trajectory for Ames-area patients. Our individualized programs, built around Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, pair the medication with coaching and nutritional guidance from home. Working with local compounding pharmacies keeps these treatments accessible to non-diabetics and more affordable than ever.

Local FAQ

Do you work around Iowa State University's academic calendar?

Yes. Whether you're a student, faculty member, or staff at Iowa State University, telehealth visits fit around finals weeks, lab schedules, and academic-year moves in and out of Ames without requiring an in-person office visit.

I live outside Ames in a smaller Story County town. Can I still get psychiatric care?

Yes. Many smaller communities in Story County and the surrounding region have limited local access to psychiatric providers, and telehealth lets you see Tiffany from home no matter how far you are from Ames.

Can I get labs drawn locally if I'm an Ames patient?

Yes. We can order labs to be drawn at Mary Greeley Medical Center or another lab near you in the Ames area, and Tiffany will review the results with you at your next visit.
