Telemedicine Appointment Information

telemedicine benefits

Telemedicine is the use of computer information technology to facilitate real-time videoconferencing between you and the psychiatrist. Telemedicine has been demonstrated to be as clinically effective as face-to-face counseling sessions, demonstrating similar or improved levels of patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes.  Telemedicine is a safe and convenient way to have your appointment from the comfort of home, office, or any private location with a computer, webcam, and Internet access. 

appointments

Currently all appointments are conducted via telemedicine with very limited exceptions. New patient appointments may be conducted in person if arranged for in advance. Current patients may request in person appointments as well. Please note that in person appointment availability is much more limited than telemedicine.

The video conferencing link can be accessed in the appointment confirmation email. Please contact the office if you are having any difficulty finding the link to sign into your appointment.

preparing for appointment

• Have a private place to meet

• Make sure the camera works on your device

To connect to your appointment, simply click on the link sent to you in your appointment confirmation email. If you do not already have the Zoom videoconferencing platform on your smartphone, tablet or computer, it will download in a few minutes or less after you click on the appointment link. Then you will enter the meeting. You may have to wait a few minutes for Dr. Seelman to join. If you have any difficulty with the technology, call office staff at 301-656-1770 for assistance.
