Looking for convenient, compassionate mental health care? Dr. Soomro offers telemedicine psychiatry services in Westchester that bring high-quality psychiatric care directly to you—wherever you are. With flexible options for children, adolescents, and adults, our telepsychiatry appointments make it easier than ever to get the support you need.
Telehealth, or Telemedicine, is a relatively new way of providing health care from a distance using interactive electronic and telecommunication devices. With most people owning a device capable of both audio and video, accessing care from home has never been more convenient. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many states issued stay-at-home orders, virtual care quickly became the norm for both patients and providers. This approach not only improves access to treatment but also helps protect both healthcare professionals and individuals with underlying health conditions.
Telemedicine has transformed how mental health care is delivered—offering patients greater convenience and flexibility. It’s especially helpful for those with busy lives or urgent needs, allowing for quicker access to care without the need to travel. Since appointments can happen from virtually anywhere, patients are no longer limited by geography. While Dr. Soomro’s practice is based in Oceanside, Nassau County, NY, his telepsychiatry services extend across the region, making it easier for individuals throughout New York and Connecticut to receive consistent care.
Telemedicine has also simplified the process for follow-up visits, helping patients stay engaged in their treatment and improving overall follow-up rates.
Patients, providers, and psychiatrists have reported overwhelmingly positive experiences with telepsychiatry. According to the American Psychiatric Association, virtual psychiatry offers the same level of accuracy, effectiveness, and patient satisfaction as traditional, in-person care. Confidentiality and privacy are also maintained at the same high standard.
“Telepsychiatry is equivalent to in-person care in diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, quality of care and patient satisfaction.”
