Telehealth: The Advantages of Telemedicine

How Telehealth works

Telehealth , or telemedicine  is a healthcare solution that allows you to meet with your doctor virtually instead of going to the office. Our 100% HIPAA-compliant system uses a two-way, high-definition video, so we can talk face-to-face as if we’re in the same room together.

With Telehealth, you can also:

• Submit your medication list, allergies, ID cards, and medical history in advance
• Chat or share photos describing your childs symptoms
• Have prescriptions electronically sent to your pharmacy
• Securely pay online for your virtual visit

The benefits of telemedicine

By connecting to your doctor in a virtual setting, you can expect to:

• Miss less time at work
• Have fewer disruptions with any child or elder care responsibilities
• Eliminate the time or travel expenses associated with your office visit
• Receive quality health care faster
• Reduce subjecting yourself and others to a contagious illness

What to expect during a Telehealth appointment

Telemedicine technology has never been easier to use, simply:

• Request an appointment by calling the clinic at 602-610-7337 or via the patient portal
• We will text you the link for the appointment on your phone
• Follow the link, make sure your child and you have the camera turned on and ready to talk to the doctor

You can also upload photos, if needed, to help us diagnose your symptoms.

For more information on telemedicine, contact us by calling or requesting your appointment online today.
