Below is information about how to schedule and start a virtual visit with your physician

  1. Call the office and request a virtual visit.

    If your medical need can be managed by a telehealth visit, the office will assist you in scheduling an appointment.

    Telehealth appointments are confidential visits between a patient (regardless of location) and provider. Patients can participate in telehealth visits using any web-camera-enabled device such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a web camera installed.
