Why Telepsychiatry?
Telepsychiatry provides unique benefits to patients and has been determined to have the same or better outcomes than in person visits. Patients no longer have to drive to appointments and can easily adjust their work schedule or lunch to accommodate a telepsychiatry visit during the day. This is a particularly helpful setup for busy professionals or those with non-traditional work schedules. Telepsychiatry can bring services to patients from urban to very rural locations. While Dr. Morel will always be in a HIPPA compliant and private environment during treatment sessions, telepsychiatry relies on the patient to determine what environment they are comfortable receiving treatment in. It is important to keep your privacy in mind and patients accept responsibility for their privacy or lack there off on their end of the connection.
