Your Appointments, Closer to Home Than Ever

Four Seasons Psychiatry provides remote appointments, allowing you to access your clinical team by video consultation. This mode of care is called “telehealth” and enables you to see and speak with a provider from the comfort and safety of your own home.

How Telehealth Works

You can get started with telehealth by calling Four Seasons Psychiatry aka McEwan & Associates PC, at (773) 809 1531 and requesting a visit. You can also request a telehealth appointment by clicking the “Request an Initial Appointment” located at the bottom of this page. As a patient, you will need access to email and a video-capable smart phone or a computer with an enabled video camera, microphone, and speaker. If you don’t have access to a computer or video-capable smart phone, ask us about other options for your visit. Please use the Zoom link located at the top of this page, to see your provider. Please click on the link 5-8 minutes before your appointment time, you can connect on your computer or phone and it will be face-to-face with a medical/psychiatric provider.

Common types of telehealth visits:

  • Depressed mood
  • Loneliness
  • Increased Stress Levels
  • Anxiousness
  • “Not feeling right”
  • Recent Loss or Large Life Change
  • Sexuality Concerns
  • Gender Affirming Care

While most common needs can be addressed completely via telehealth, a provider may direct you to an appropriate clinic, your primary care provider, or phlebotomist near home, if you need an in-person exam or labs. Insurance will be billed for your telehealth visit, or “cash” accepted if not using insurance. Any co-pays can be paid over the phone, use of zelle, venmo, or charged at the time of your appointment.
To set up a telemedicine visit or discuss other options, please call us at (773) 809-1531

Telehealth Checklist: Getting Ready for Your Appointment

Before you start your telehealth experience, here are some helpful tips to ensure you get the most out of your visit.

  • Find a quiet, private space. Choose a place where you can meet with your provider that is quiet, confidential, and comfortable. This could be a room in your home or somewhere at work, such as a private meeting room.
  • Install Zoom on your computer or download the smartphone app ahead of time. Four Seasons Psychiatry utilizes Zoom, a cloud-based video conferencing tool, for telehealth visits. In order to make the most of your visit, install the application beforehand and familiarize yourself with the layout.
  • Double-check your sound and video. It’s important that you can hear and see your provider during the visit. In order to ensure your visit goes smoothly, test your camera, microphone, and speakers/headphones.
  • Be prepared for the possibility of technical difficulties. Internet outages and other occurrences happen. Your medical/psychiatric provider is here to support you and will reach out to support and alternate ways to connect.
