*******CORONAVIRUS INFORMATION*******
Beginning 3/23/2020, the doctors at Mental Health Partners are seeing all patients for follow up visits via telemedicine whenever possible and telephone if that is not possible to help reduce the spread of this pandemic. Telemedicine is preferred as this should allow you to be seen with the same coverage that you normally have with your health insurer and telephone calls may not be covered. For patients that pay for their visits themselves, the same visit fees apply (including any discounts) as would normally happen for in person visits. For telemedicine appointments, you can use a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone as long as they have a webcam with microphone. Preferred web browsers include Google Chrome and Safari 11+. You can also try to login to the doctors wait room ahead of time to see if you are able to get it working. Whenever possible, using a "wired" connection from a computer that has a cable connecting it to your internet source is the best and then wifi or cellular depending on the strength of your signal (cellular may be better if there is a lot of wifi setup near your location such as apartment complexes or if you can't be near the internet source). Once you click on the proper link below, please input a name that will allow your doctor to know who you are (only your doctor will see that you are in the waiting room) and then the doctor can connect when they are ready.
