Telepsychiatry in Colorado
Dr. Byrd can see patients in the state of Colorado via telemedicine or telepsychiatry.
What Is Telepsychiatry or Telemedicine?
Telepsychiatry is a subcategory of telemedicine – a type of health care that is offered through the use of video-based applications (similar to Skype or FaceTime). With telepsychiatry, Dr. Byrd is able to provide professional services to patients who may not be able to travel to a local office for a face-to-face visit or prefer the convenience of telemedicine.
Patients may wonder how telemedicine will differ from standard in-office appointments with a psychiatrist. There are many benefits to consider, including:
- Convenience and comfort - Complete video calls wherever you feel most relaxed and at ease, from the comfort of your own home.
- Avoid delays and added expenses - There are no traffic or gas expenses when doing appointments via telehealth.
- Improved accessibility - Patients living in rural areas will have access to quality providers.
- Increased flexibility - Telemedicine offers flexibility in managing time for appointments.
