Telemedicine

Communities without available psychiatric care now have access to the expertise of our psychiatrists in the Bay Area through the use of videoconferencing equipment. High-definition cameras and flat-panel screens allow patients to comfortably meet with their psychiatrist over a secure video connection, ensuring that patient confidentiality is protected.

Regularly scheduled 20 to 30 minute follow-up visits insure the best response with the least problems on medication.

For patients in more rural areas, it is a unique opportunity to establish a relationship with a psychiatrist who can manage their medication and assess the need for ongoing psychotherapy.

Almost all telemedicine sessions are covered by insurance.
