Telehealth

Telehealth, or a 'virtual visit', is a consultation with one of our physicians via video conferencing. This option is convenient, allows you to be seen without coming into our office, and provides care by your regular provider (who knows your full history, and has access to your medical chart.) 

Virtual visits are not for all conditions. 

It is also possible that after video-conferencing, we may ask you to bring your child in for an in-person sick visit if we need to perform a physical exam that reaches beyond the abilities of video-conferencing.

Appointments for telehealth visits can be made through our front desk or the portal. As of April 2021, many insurers no longer cover telehealth appointments. Please contact your insurer to confirm coverage prior to booking an appointment.

• If you have a cough or have difficulty breathing, check your respiratory rate (count the breaths per minute) and heart rate (see below)
• Take several close-up photos of the rash to send (if requested).
• Write down all of the medicines you have been taking, and when you last took a dose of ibuprofen or acetaminophen
• Have current medications or inhalers/spacers available for viewing during the visit
• Write down any questions you have, as you might forget them during the telemedicine visit!
