Telehealth Psychiatry

For many people and many conditions, telehealth psychiatry provides the same standard of care as an in-person visit. Evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management can all be handled by secure video. Some situations may still call for an in-person visit, which a provider can discuss based on individual needs.

Telehealth works well for adults and teens across Florida without a nearby provider, people who value privacy and prefer being seen from home, busy professionals and parents, rural and underserved communities, and patients continuing care after relocating within Florida. It suits most people and most conditions the practice treats.
