Telehealth
Virtual Visits are a Convenient Option
Telehealth, or a “virtual visit”, is a consultation with our physicians via video conferencing. This option is convenient, allows you to be seen without coming into our office, and provides care by your regular physician.
Virtual visits are not for all conditions. We can provide care for most of the following acute care concerns:
- Rash
- Pinkeye without fever
- Colds
- Some fevers
- Allergies
- Constipation, diarrhea or vomiting Minor traumas (lacerations, abrasions, bites)
As we cannot listen to your lungs or see your ears, we cannot evaluate ear pain, significant coughs, or assess concerns that require laboratory evaluation such as urinary tract infections and strep or flu testing.
It is also possible that after video-conferencing, we may ask you to come in for an in person sick visit if we need to perform a physical exam that reaches beyond the abilities of video conferencing.
Appointments for telehealth visits can be made through our front desk or the portal. As of April 2021, many insurers no longer cover telehealth appointments. Please contact your insurer to confirm coverage prior to booking an appointment.
