Telehealth Services
Compassionate psychiatric care delivered securely from wherever you are — available to women across all of California.
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth — also known as telemedicine — allows you to receive professional psychiatric care through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, without ever leaving your home. It’s real care, just delivered differently.
At Maria Assumpta Medical, telehealth appointments are conducted via secure video calls — giving you the same quality of psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic support you would receive in person.
Currently, all appointments are available via Telehealth — serving women across the entire state of California from our practice in Gardena, CA. In-person visits are coming soon.
