Telehealth visits are a great option to meet with your provider, over the phone or via video call, from the comfort of your own home. New and established patients are welcome to use telehealth for medical, behavioral, and dental health visits. These visits can be used for sick or regular health visits as a part of your care plan. Have questions? See below for more information, or give us a call!
Interpreter services are always available for telehealth services. If you require interpretation, just let us know when scheduling your appointment.
Medical
A medical telehealth visit allows you and your provider to get to solutions fast from the comfort of your own home. Not all visits will be able to be carried out virtually, but routine check-ups, post-procedural check-ins, and many more visits can be done virtually. Give us a call if you have any questions about medical telehealth!
Dental
Teledentistry can be used for a variety of visits! With a video camera, or a series of photographs, you can book a consultation, seek advice on treatment options, request prescriptions for infections, perform post-operative evaluations, and more! You will be asked to photograph, or show on video, your teeth and gums for your provider to help make decisions with you about further action!
Behavioral
A behavioral health visit is a private, confidential session with a behavioral health specialist that is almost exactly like a visit in the clinic. Together, we do a diagnostic assessment, create a treatment plan, and proceed with behavioral treatment without any need for an in person visit.
