What is telehealth?

Telehealth is a term to describe a virtual video visit (e.g., Facetime). It is a medical encounter that allows a health care provider to evaluate, diagnose and treat a patient without the need for an in-patient visit. With the improvement of technology, Telehealth is a viable option for limited acute and chronic medical conditions.

How do telehealth works?

Our electronic medical record has a HIPPA embedded video virtual platform to provide the utmost confidentiality during the encounter. Once making a reservation, you will be text a confirmation. A follow-up phone will be made before the time to provide instructions on accessing the secure video chat screen. Upon your reservation time, you will receive a secured message to connect to the video chat. A health care professional will contact you, and your encounter would be similar to an in-patient visit only without the physical exam. If required, prescriptions are sent to your appropriate pharmacy. To book a telemedicine reservation, click here

Our staff will help you make an in-patient reservation that day for an in-depth consultation.
