Telepsychiatry Specialist

What is telepsychiatry?

Telepsychiatry is the practice of providing psychiatric services through a secure video conferencing program, allowing you to conveniently receive the mental health care you need. All you need is a private room and a reliable internet connection. 

Telepsychiatry appointments are similar to in-office visits. You meet with your provider and talk face-to-face, although instead of being in the same room, you meet online. Dr. Zeshan can send prescriptions to your pharmacy and lets you know if additional testing is necessary.

What services are available via telepsychiatry?

Dr. Zeshan provides comprehensive psychiatric care at Inside Out. You have access to services, including:

Evaluations

Dr. Zeshan provides evaluations to assess and diagnose your condition through telepsychiatry. During your assessment, Dr. Zeshan asks many questions to help him understand your symptoms, overall health, and needs so he can accurately diagnose your condition and create a personalized treatment plan.

Therapy

You can also choose to have therapy via a telemedicine video conference. You and your provider can talk, and you explore your thoughts and feelings, just as you would during an in-office appointment.

Medication management

If you take medication for your mental health condition, you need to check in with Dr. Zeshan occasionally to make sure your prescription is still working. You can review your symptoms and health with Dr. Zeshan through a quick online appointment. 

What are the benefits of telepsychiatry?

Telepsychiatry is a convenient option for mental health care services with many benefits for you and your family. You can also have your appointment anywhere, even if you’re on vacation or out-of-town for work. 

Cost

Choosing telemedicine can save you money. You don’t need to worry about transportation costs such as gas, parking, ride-share, or public transportation fares. Additionally, you don’t need to arrange and pay for additional child or eldercare services. 

Time 

Telepsychiatry can also save you time. You don’t have to fight traffic to come into the office or take time off work or away from other responsibilities. Many patients schedule their appointments during their lunch breaks. 

Privacy

Dr. Zeshan uses a secure video-conferencing service to ensure your privacy. Additionally, by not coming into the office, you can keep your appointments confidential. While there is no shame in getting treatment for a psychiatric condition, some patients prefer to keep their medical needs discreet.
