How Does Telehealth Work?

Telehealth appointments are an asset for providers to address your healthcare needs in a way that works best for your schedule. Medical care via telehealth includes virtual appointments as well as any online communication you have with your provider and their staff.

Benefits of Telehealth Appointments

The biggest benefit of telehealth appointments is their convenience for both patients and providers. These appointments are more easily accessible for many patients since you don’t need to factor in travel time to and from our offices. You control the environment in which you have your appointment, whether that’s your office or your bedroom at home.

If you are immunocompromised, you may prefer telehealth visits. Your provider can help you navigate your healthcare concerns so you can get the essential care you need.

Preparing for Your Telehealth Appointment

When you have an upcoming telehealth appointment, your provider will reach out with a reminder and specific instructions, including how to test and use their telehealth software. If you have questions, our office is available to help you troubleshoot your telehealth appointment prior to your appointment time.

We recommend that you log onto the telehealth service a few minutes before your appointment. This gives you time to set up your camera and microphone and check that everything works. If you are having any issues connecting, you can reach out to our office directly.
