Telemedicine Visits

​The COVID-19 pandemic may require you to stay in your home, but what if you need to see one of our providers for an injury or chronic condition? Reducing exposure to our patients is especially important at this time, and we want you to know that our physicians are here to help!

​

As part of our effort to extend health services to those most vulnerable to COVID-19, we are pleased to announce that our clinics are now providing telehealth appointments for both new and current patients. These visits allow us to improve our patient’s health from a safe distance with real-time, interactive communication between the patient and our physicians.

​

​In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many insurance companies are now covering telemedicine visits at no additional cost, including Medicare. This allows us to connect with those most at risk, including older patients and patients with disabilities, while limiting their risk of infection from an in-person consultation at no extra cost.

​

A telemedicine appointment is just like a regular in-person appointment, but requires the use of either a computer, tablet, or smartphone. You will sit in front of a camera where you will be able to see yourself and your provider on the screen once your session begins. Your healthcare team will ask you questions to assess your condition or injury and work with you to develop a plan of care, all while providing the same quality of care you would get in a face-to-face visit.

​

Just like a regular doctor’s appointment, your telemedicine visit will be private and confidential. What you say during your visit can only be seen and heard by you and your healthcare team.

​

To make an appointment, please contact our office and request to schedule a telemedicine visit. Your video visit will be completed using Doxy.me, a robust HIPAA-compliant e-visit platform. It is free to use, requires no download, and is accessible from a laptop, cellphone, or tablet.
