Michigan Psychological Care Sees No End to Telemedicine Appointments

MIDLAND, Mich. - Dec. 23, 2020 - PRLog -- Michigan Psychological Care is now offering telemedicine appointments as part of their regular scheduling. The addition of virtual appointments began as a temporary way to continue care under pandemic stay-at-home orders. They proved so beneficial to clients that the decision was made to continue to offer them indefinitely.

Telemedicine appointments are safe, private, and convenient. They are held through a secure app – called Doxy – which keeps all personal information protected and compliant with HIPAA regulations.

All therapists at all three locations have been trained and are successfully using Doxy for appointments.
