TelePsychiatry
TelePsychiatry is a technological innovation that is part of the Telemedicine umbrella, that permits the delivery of medical care to patients without the need of meeting the physician at an office. That means that you can connect with your doctor from the comfort of your home, work office, hotel room, or anywhere you want and feel comfortable from, as long as you have an internet connection and can communicate in privacy. We are offering this service most days of the week and at different times so that you can find the best time that works out for you to connect with us.
Medication management
Medication management is one of the main reasons patients often come to see a psychiatrist. There are many medications available nowadays to treat the broad spectrum of mental health conditions. Whether you are just in need of refills or need a comprehensive look at your medication regimen, having a doctor that can really sort out what is the best medication regimen for you is crucial in order to get better and stay better.
Brief Psychotherapy
Life stressors can be extremely hard sometimes, to the point of interfering with a patient’s daily functioning. Rather than focusing in the past and on what and who to blame for the cause of distress, brief psychotherapy offers the possibility of focusing in a specific problem in a manner that is solution-oriented rather than problem-oriented. In our busy worlds with busy schedules, it can be challenging to comply with the many visits a month to see a therapist at an office. Brief psychotherapy provided through video offers the possibility of bypassing traffic and spending hours in unnecessary commutes in order to comply with your therapy appointments.
Diagnostic Evaluations
Due to insurance issues and other financial barriers, patients often need to receive their psychiatric treatment from their primary care providers. But before starting a medication, first you may want to make sure that you are diagnosed with the right condition. Psychiatrists are specialists in mental health disorders, and therefore, have the ability to make very precise mental health diagnoses that can lead to selecting the best treatment method with the highest chances of providing relief, improvement or stabilization.
Second Opinions
Because two heads think better than one, it is often helpful to seek the second opinion of a medical specialist before making important decisions regarding our health, such as starting or not a specific treatment. Many patients are at times concerned that perhaps they have not been diagnosed with the right condition, and that’s when having a second opinion performed by a careful and thorough psychiatric provider can be of great value or even, life saving.
Psychiatric consultation
We are also happy to offer Tele-psychiatric consultation services through Videoconference to other healthcare providers’ offices, healthcare institutions, and government organizations. There is still a large shortage of psychiatrists in most parts of our country. Dr Franco is licensed to practice psychiatry in 4 states and 1 territory (Florida, Ohio, Georgia, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico), and is fluent in two languages (English and Spanish). He can, therefore, reach to patients residing in a larger geographical area, since he is not limited to one State license and/or one language. Please contact us for pricing.
