Telemedicine is strongly recommended in the midst of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak as it helps limit potential exposure to those who may be sick.
Telemedicine allows health care professionals to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients without an in-person visit. It uses secure telecommunication technology (software and computers) to connect the patient and the physician. It is frequently used for follow-up visits, medication management, physician consultation, management of chronic conditions and a wide array of other clinical services.
Benefits of using telemedicine as an alternative to in-person visits:
· No exposure to other potentially contagious patients
· Quicker access to care
· Privacy
· Less time away from work, kids or other important life needs
· No travel time or expenses
Privacy and Security
Because patient data will be transmitted when telemedicine is used, we employ strict healthcare policies that meet healthcare regulations. We utilize a special technology solution that encrypts all data for patient protection.

Telemedicine may not be used in all situations, for example, it probably would not be appropriate for those which require a physical examination, but you can use telemedicine for many non-threatening health care concerns, such as an ear infection or common cold. It is often useful for follow up visits and visits to renew medications. Telemedicine visits are structured similarly to an in-person visit with a physician.
