FAQs

A video visit is similar to an office visit, only instead of traveling to see your doctor you can video conference with them from your home. Our providers can assess symptoms, make a diagnosis, recommend treatment, and send new prescriptions or refills electronically to your pharmacy.

Follow-up visits with a doctor, mental-health visits, sick visits, some podiatry, and dermatology issues are all examples of visits that can be done by video chat.
