You can now see your Doctor or Physician Assistant in the comfort of your own home…
or from a private room at work…
or sitting in your car…
Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, our office has taken another step into what technology can do. Your office visit can be completed via audio and video tele-conferencing. This will allow you to stay where you need to be but still see your provider. There may be some times that an actual in-person office visit is required, but at this time, we want to look out for your safety.
TeleVisits are preferred for any appointment when the patient is
experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
This keeps you safe from possible COVID-19 exposure when you are out of your home.
The following information is provided so you are aware of the basics and how-to’s when it comes to TeleVisits with our office.
