Telemedicine allows for our psychiatrists, therapists, and nurse practitioners to provide care for patients remotely (using a phone, tablet, or computer) by using HIPAA compliant video-conferencing software.
We currently offer Zoom and Facetime as ways to speak with your provider during your telemedicine appointment, decide which will work best for you.
Make sure you received the special appointment link and know how to join the call. Have all medication on hand and any questions prepared?
Join your appointment from a private, quiet space in your home. For your safety and privacy, we cannot allow calls to take place from a moving vehicle or public space.
If you have any questions, check out our telemedicine help page or call our office at 941-347-8341.
Using telemedicine as an alternative to in-person visits has a wide range of benefits for patients, such as:
Paradise takes your privacy seriously which is why certain policies have been put in place to protect you and ensure you have a productive appointment with your provider.
Your mental health care is our #1 priority. You deserve access to 5-star quality care, which is why we accept over 30 commercial and government insurances.
If you are new to Paradise, you will be asked to fill out a ‘New Patient Packet’ which includes your personal, medical, and mental health history. This information will allow us to verify your insurance and help us understand what your needs are.
Review our complete list of accepted insurances or call our office at 941-347-8341 to speak with one of our team members about our self-pay option.
