What Is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine is a method of communication that allows us to interact face-to-face with our patients using technology. It will enable our patients to sit safely in the comfort of their own homes while meeting with one of our providers. Just like being in person, you will discuss your symptoms, problems, and other concerns with us using a video, app, web-based platform, or even an email. After your visit, we will discuss any diagnosis, review treatment options, and write you a prescription if necessary.
How Does Telemedicine Operate?
Telemedicine provides an incredible supplemental care solution for many of the concerns you usually visit our clinic. However, this approach is not suitable for emergencies like lacerations, heart attacks, strokes, or broken bones.
During your virtual consultation with us, we will examine your condition. We may ask you to demonstrate a variety of movements, such as walking, moving from sitting to standing, range of motion, and flexion and extension of joints. We may ask to examine any swelling or edema, skin rashes or lesions, or healing wounds.

Telemedicine supports more convenient care, accessible to one and all. There are times when people are unable to visit us and meet us in person. In this situation, telemedicine makes for an ideal solution! This approach is a massive help for all homebound or immunocompromised patients.
There are no extra costs or fees associated with telemedicine. You save on your traveling expenses and your time and energy! Many of our patients enjoy remaining at home and are thankful for the care we provide them.
