Why Telepsychiatry?
***
What is Telepsychiatry?
Telepsychiatry is the process of providing mental health care from a distance through technology, often using videoconferencing.
Does it Work?
Telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-person care in diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care and patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction is high among patients, psychiatrists and other professionals
Are there limits to Telepsychiatry?
Yes. There are limits to what medications can be prescribed. Telepsychiatry may not be for everyone. Potential clients are screened to ensure telepsychiatry meets their psychiatric needs.
How does it work?
Generally, the first appointment is in person and will last between 60-90 minutes, depending on the age of the patient. Follow up appointments are via telepsychiatry and vary from 15-30 minutes.
What if I cannot drive to the initial appointment?
Please send us a message if you would like to join our clinic.
Benefits
