What You Need for a Telehealth Visit
Setting up for your appointment takes just a few minutes. Here is what to have ready:
When In-Person May Be Better
Telehealth works well for most psychiatric appointments, but an in-person visit at our Austin clinic may be recommended if you need:
- A comprehensive psychological or neuropsychological evaluation
- Procedures that require physical presence (e.g., Spravato® or TMS)
- Lab work, vitals, or physical examination as part of your assessment
- You or your provider feels that face-to-face care would be more effective
Not sure which is right for you? Ask us — we are happy to help you decide.
