Telemedicine Q&A
What is telemedicine?
Telemedicine lets you access mental health services through online video conferencing. With telemedicine, you eliminate the hassle of visiting a doctor’s office and conveniently get the psychiatric services you need from the comfort of your home.
To access telemedicine, you use your computer, tablet, or smartphone and connect with your provider at MindSpa Psychiatry using their secure line. Your face-to-face conference is confidential, and the treatment and support you receive online are just as effective as an office visit.
Am I a good candidate for telemedicine?
While most patients can receive all their outpatient care through telemedicine, it’s not appropriate for everyone. You complete a basic pre-screen form before scheduling an initial consultation.
Based on your information, the team can determine if MindSpa Psychiatry has the expertise to treat you.

What services can I receive through telemedicine?
MindSpa Psychiatry offers all its services through telemedicine, including:
Initial consultation
New patients can schedule their initial consultation through telemedicine. You only need to complete some forms providing basic information before your visit.
During an initial consultation, your provider reviews your medical history and symptoms and completes a psychiatric evaluation. After diagnosing the cause of your symptoms, they collaborate with you to create a tailored treatment plan.
Medication management
After your provider prescribes medication, they schedule regular medication management appointments. During your follow-up appointments, they determine if your medication has improved your symptoms and learn if you have any signs of side effects.
Your provider decides if they need to adjust the dose or type of medication, then they send a prescription refill to your local pharmacy.
Therapy
Therapy and medication are the top two treatments for mental health disorders. Whether you need one or both is based on your symptoms and diagnosis.
To experience the benefits of telemedicine, call the office to schedule an appointment, or request one online today.
