Telehealth Services
Expert psychiatric care from the comfort of your home
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth, also known as telemedicine or virtual appointments, allows you to meet with Dr. Okwuonu through a secure video connection using your computer, tablet, or smartphone. This technology enables you to receive the same high-quality psychiatric care as an in-person visit, but from the convenience of your own home.
Telehealth appointments are secure, confidential, and HIPAA-compliant, ensuring your privacy is protected just as it would be during an in-person visit.
