Some of the conditions that we offer care for through telemedicine services include:

• Respiratory illnesses – If you’re dealing with the flu, COVID-19, or another respiratory infection, our doctors can assess your concerns through a telemedicine visit, offer advice on managing symptoms, and prescribe medications if necessary.
• Pink eye – Conjunctivitis is uncomfortable and often contagious. Through a virtual consultation, our providers can diagnose the type of pink eye you have and recommend treatment options and home remedies to relieve your discomfort.

As you prepare for your telehealth visit, you are probably wondering what you need to ensure you can successfully connect with the doctor. You need to have access to a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer that is connected to the internet and has a camera and a microphone.

As telehealth services are delivered through a secure video conferencing platform, your doctor will provide you with instructions on how to join the call before the time of your appointment. You should join your telehealth call in a quiet and well-lit space, so you and your provider can hear and see each other well. If you would like to ask questions on how to best prepare for your telehealth call, our friendly team is here to help.
