What type of appointment
will I have?
All
appointments will start with a telemedicine appointment. Patients may select either a phone or video
visit. Even if the reason for the visit
will require an in-person examination, it will still start with a telemedicine
appointment.
·
Follow up appointments and new
medical issues:
always start with telemedicine visit first. An in-person visit for an
examination will follow if needed.
·
Annual physical/review of medical
issues:
there are 2 options:
·
Patients can choose to have only a
telemedicine visit (phone or video) with no examination and we can discuss if
we feel you need to come to the office later.
·
Patients can choose a “2 part”
physical. The 2 part
physical is a telemedicine visit followed by an exam either one right after
another or a later date/time. If the
exam is to be done immediately after the telemedicine part the doctor will talk
to you in the car first then you will come in to the office for the exam.
·
Sick patient visits: scheduled as a telemedicine visit
followed by exam if needed.
·
Injection visits: will be done outside in a chair by
our front door.
