Telepsychiatry consultation services are the process of using telecommunication tools through devices to provide psychiatric consultation to individuals who are not able to make it into the clinic, or for clinics that only provide this service over telecommunication methods, and they are separated from their patients through distance and allowing the patients to complete the consultation in the comfort of their own home.
 
Telepsychiatry provides many different benefits, the main and most obvious being convenience; thereafter, it provides better accessibility to many individuals that may not have been able to access psychiatry services previously.
 
Using telepsychiatry services, our psychiatrists have the ability to communicate directly with their clients, some of the many telepsychiatry services that we provide include:
 
– Psychiatric evaluation
– Psychiatric diagnosis
– Medication-assisted treatment
– Ketamine therapy
– Case management
