Pros
Employed almost 2 years with Talkiatry and have been very pleased with administrative and operations support as well as responsiveness to concerns and suggestions. Support staff is also exceptional, including IT support. After practicing in multiple settings including inpatient and outpatient for 32 years have enjoyed this practice the most. Talkiatry allows me the ability to connect with patients and enjoy minimal administrative and non-clinical duties. This company promotes and allows for work-life balance in a way I have not previously experienced. Accepted this position at the end of the COVID pandemic to allow for at home telemedicine care for patients. Have been able to select the types of patients I enjoy treating as well as create the schedule that works best for me. The communication at Talkiatry is exceptional. Have been able to directly interact with senior management, all of whom are extremely approachable. Have felt valued as a practitioner and employee from hire date to present. The opportunities to challenge myself as a clinician are present daily.
Cons
As a telemedicine psychiatrist there is limited interaction with others in person, though that is typical of psychiatry in general.
