The process is 100% secure and HIPAA compliant.
What is telemedicine?
Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications and software to provide clinical services to patients without an in-person visit. Telemedicine technology is frequently used for follow-up visits, management of chronic conditions, specialist consultation and a host of other clinical services that can be provided remotely via secure video and audio connections.

Our practice offers patients the ability to schedule a virtual visit for the following appointments:
- Initial consultations
