Start A Telehealth Visit!
Telehealth Visits (AKA E-visits or virtual visits) are an effective tool for non-emergent medical care. In a video visit, certain conditions can be effectively treated without the need to come to the office. Telehealth Visits are convenient; avoid taking time out of work, avoid the need to find a babysitter or leave a loved one home alone. Telehealth Visits can be done from wherever you are - home, work or while traveling through any device with camera and audio capabilities (see notes below).
