Preparing for a Video Appointment with Dr. Russeth
Dr. Russeth offers appointments via video when requested. A video session allows you to access care even if you cannot visit Dr. Russeth in person.
When a virtual appointment is confirmed, you should receive a Google Meet Link in the confirmation email with the session time scheduled - use this link. If you do not receive this link, please contact Dr. Russeth at drkathy@centeredpsychaitry.org or 608-305-4150. Creating your own calendar Google Meet link will not work.
​
Before the Day of Your Appointment
-
Identify a private location for your appointment: This should be a place where you can be alone and not interrupted for the duration of your video session. Ideally, find a place with good lighting so your clinician can see you. This might be a room in your home or could even be in your car.
-
Check your technology: Consider what technology you will use for the video session. This might be your computer, an iPad, or your mobile phone. Be sure you know how to work the camera and the volume. Check to ensure that the location for your video session has a strong internet connection. Ask your clinician or their office staff if you need to install any apps on your device in advance. Ask how you will receive a link to the visit and if they can do a test with you to ensure it works.
-
Organize Billing Details: Check with the office staff about billing in advance of your appointment.
-
Prepare your thoughts: Think about what you want to discuss with Dr. Russeth. Make notes if that helps you.
On the Day of Your Appointment
-
Get ready for your video session. On the morning of your appointment, make sure that your device is charged. Check that you have the login link you need to access your video session. About 15 minutes in advance, have your technology ready and make sure your space is quiet and without distractions.
-
Do not forget... Make sure you have any notes about what you want to discuss during the appointment. Also have a pen and paper in case you need to take notes. Bring reading glasses if you need them to see things on the screen, such as rating scales. Have the phone number for your clinician's office in case you need technical support.
​
Start Your Appointment:
-
Sign in and get started about 3 minutes before your appointment, sign into the video session. Make sure the camera is at about eye level. Your clinician will join and usually start by asking your name, address where you are currently located, and other basic details. The video session should last the same amount of time as an office visit. Make sure you ask any questions you have before you sign off.
Call 608-305-4150, or message drkathy@centeredpsychiatry.org, if you have questions.
