MindGuyMD · online psychiatrist, NJ-located patients
MindGuyMD provides online psychiatry exclusively to adults physically located in New Jersey at the time of the visit. Dr. Andres Vinuela, MD, conducts every visit personally over a secure video platform, 60-minute evaluations and 30-minute follow-ups held one at a time. No app to install, no panel-size queue: the intake note goes directly to the prescribing physician.
How a secure video visit actually works
An online psychiatry visit at MindGuyMD is a clinical encounter, not a video call. The patient joins a secure video session from any private location in New Jersey, home, office, parked car, by browser link, with no software installation required. The session records audio, video, and chart documentation equivalent to an in-person visit; Dr. Vinuela conducts the evaluation, takes clinical notes, and writes the treatment plan in real time. The platform supports e-prescribing, lab orders where indicated, and secure messaging for any between-visit administrative question.
What the technology looks like, end to end
Delivered through a secure video platform, with no recording on the patient's end, no app download, and an ephemeral browser-based session that closes when the visit ends. The intake link arrives by email after the visit is confirmed; visit reminders are sent ahead of time; chart notes and prescriptions are routed through the same framework that an in-person clinic would use. The full controlled-substance disclosure appears once in the scope section below. The aim is a clinical encounter conducted the way it should be, whatever the channel.

Why the practice is small on purpose
Online psychiatry can drift toward panel-size models, short visits, a queue at the door, the prescribing on autopilot. MindGuyMD runs in the opposite direction: a single prescribing physician who reads every intake note, conducts every visit, and holds every follow-up. That structure is what allows for a 60-minute evaluation up front, 30-minute visits thereafter, and the chart context that follows you from one visit to the next. The technology is the means, not the model.

Questions about the technology and scheduling
Secure video infrastructure accessed by browser, no app installation required, no patient-side recording, and an ephemeral session that closes when the visit ends. The platform supports audio, video, e-prescribing, and secure messaging.
Any private location in New Jersey, home, office, parked car. New Jersey telemedicine law requires the patient to be physically located in NJ at the time of the visit; out-of-state visits cannot be accommodated.
After the intake note is received, Dr. Vinuela reads it personally and a slot is typically offered when capacity allows, subject to clinical fit, practice review, and confirmation. Follow-ups are scheduled at a cadence the plan responds to, typically 4 to 6 weeks to start, then spaced as treatment stabilizes.

Same-day or same-week appointments may be available depending on scheduling and clinical fit. Submitting an intake is a request, not a confirmed appointment.
