Telehealth offers the same quality of care from the same team of pediatric providers.
When is a Telehealth visit helpful?
When your child is ill and traveling to an office is inconvenient, Telehealth can be a great option for treating straightforward complaints. Telehealth is also great for managing ongoing conditions that require frequent, quick check-ins with a provider.
What are the limits of a Telehealth visit?
Serious illnesses, emergencies, and complex issues all require the help of an in-person provider. Also, there are limitations to what a provider can diagnose and prescribe via Telehealth since labs and vital signs cannot be taken remotely.
If it appears that labs must be drawn (rapid strep, influenza, urinalysis) for a proper diagnosis, or a therapeutic shot (rocephin/decadron) given to treat the diagnosis, we can perform those procedures in the office at the discretion of the Telehealth provider. This type of visit can be handled by a nurse, is often faster than a typical visit, and does not include being seen by a provider.
How can I prepare for my Telehealth visit?
