A patient and a psychiatrist conduct an online appointment by video conference.

What devices can I use?
You can use a personal computer with a web cam or a mobile device.
How do you prescribe medications?
Prescriptions for medications will be transmitted electronically to your pharmacy.
Online Appointments
Do I have to be located in Virginia?
Yes. Due to state medical licensing laws, telemedicine is available only for patients who are physically located in Virginia.
Do I have to be at home?
No. I ask that you be in a private room, which can be at home, a private work office, or other private place.
Do you prescribe stimulants online?
No. Prescriptions for stimulant medications for ADHD require an in-person appointment.
