SuboxoneNYC uses a telehealth-based care model for routine buprenorphine treatment. Care is delivered by physicians through secure video, supported by structured remote follow-up and digitally coordinated continuity processes.
What telehealth means here
Telehealth here means appointment-based physician evaluation, follow-up by secure video, and continuity support between evaluations. It does not mean a generic app, a volume-driven call center, or a one-visit transaction.
How care is delivered
Founded by Dr. Edward Ratush, MD. Care is delivered by physicians operating under the SuboxoneNYC continuity standard. Your treating physician may be Dr. Ratush or another qualified physician practicing under that standard.
Why telehealth supports continuity
For buprenorphine care, continuity often depends on reducing scheduling friction, keeping follow-up visible, and coordinating refill timing before problems become urgent. Telehealth helps the practice do that in a structured and scalable way.
Common patient questions
Is this still physician-led? Yes. Clinical decisions remain with physicians.
Is it by appointment? Yes. Intake, physician evaluation, and follow-up are coordinated by appointment.
What if a separate in-person service is clinically necessary? Your treating physician will advise you on the appropriate next step.
