  • DRIVING DIRECTIONS
REQUIRED NOTICE REGARDING TEXTING: By contacting Dr Salomon, you agree that he may contact you back by any means available to him including phone, secure text, email, and mail. If you wish to opt-out from receiving secure text messages from Dr Salomon, please inform him in writing (email or Simple Practice messaging.) Note that texts are almost exclusively used as appointment prompts when a patient is late for a virtual visit and that this prevents many missed visit charges. 

Dr Salomon will also respond to questions by text from established patients, noting that the SIMPLE PRACTICE PORTAL messaging function is far faster, monitored more often, and vastly preferred especially for privacy of communications.  Note that when texts are sent to Dr Salomon at 615 239 5151, they are only secure if they originate from the free iPLUM app. Please contact Dr Salomon if there are any questions about this! 

Currently active patients may access the Simple Practice Client app through the App Stores on Apple or Android systems. Download and install Simple Practice CLIENT and then follow prompts. Messaging through SP is easy and very convenient, but please do not use it as a chat--even if it has that 'feel'.

– CLOSED to NEW PATIENT inquiries

MARCH 2025 UPDATE:

  • New patient inquiries and one-time consults are closed.
  • Work day scheduling hours are limited primarily to Mondays and Thursdays, both only 7 am to noon Central time.
  • All sessions are ONLY by appointment by video conference (see below). Dr Salomon does not provide walk-in or emergency services. Patients with emergent thoughts of self-harm may call 811 as a resource or 911 for medical emergencies, or may go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
  • The following have not changed:
    • Office phone (Voice) :  615 239 5151 – PLEASE select option 2: “leave a message“.  Option 1 may disrupt a session since there is no receptionist.  TEXT MESSAGES to the same number are regularly checked every work day.
    • Contacts received through Simple Practice are reviewed more quickly than voicemail or even texts to the office line, whether or not the office is ‘open’. For any imminent life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
    • Refill requests are handled rapidly as possible once they arrive in the portal during normal business hours, but please give 72 hours notice when refills are needed.  Fees may apply for handling urgent refills on weekend which should be sent with URGENT in the subject line if necessary, or with a call by phone if extremely urgent.
    • For existing patients with very urgent needs, Dr Salomon can be reached directly but please keep in mind that this may be disruptive to other patients’ sessions.  The phone line, 615 239 5151, allows you to leave brief messages (option 2). Please reserve the use of the direct contact selection (option 1) for the most extreme urgency.
    • TELEHEALTH SESSIONS: The Simple Practice provides a link for telehealth that is available ten minutes prior to the session time ONLY IF SCHEDULED AS A VIDEO APPOINTMENT. Please log in a few minutes ahead so that we can start on time. A link to online sessions doxy.me remains available, but please notify Dr Salomon if planning on using Doxy.me:
