Virtual visit with the doctor has other names, such as televisit or remote visit and falls under the general concept of telehealth or telemedicine. The main idea behind a video appointment is for the patient to consult with the doctor remotely using any technology available to either party.
For example, the patient stays at home or at work using their smartphone or any computer with video and audio capabilities to connect with their physician.
No seating in a waiting area, save on travel time, feel more comfortable in your own environment, eliminate exposure to other patients.
Get your medical records/history ready, including any lab results and imaging reports, currently taken medications. Write down your symptoms, concerns, and questions for the doctor. Have your updated pharmacy information readily available.
Make sure you’re in a private, quiet, well-lit space that will allow you to comfortably and openly speak with your doctor. Your light source has to be facing you not behind you.
Our healthcare providers love pets! Should you choose to include your pet in your televisit, please keep their noise and activities to a minimum to avoid distractions.
