Telemedicine is a general term that covers all the ways in which you and your physician can use technology to communicate without being in the same room. These modalities include phone calls, video chats, emails, and text messages.

​

If you decide to use this modality, all you need to communicate with your physician is a reliable internet connection and a phone, smartphone, or computer.

​

Telemedicine is a convenient tool for everyone, especially in times of a pandemic, as we are currently experiencing with COVID-19.

How does Telemedicine allow me to get the care I need?

              VIRTUAL APPOINTMENTS:  Some doctors can let you have an appointment through a phone call or video conference.

Telemedicine can do many things.  But it can't replace all doctor visits.
