What is Telemedicine?

Telemedicine is the ability to deliver healthcare services remotely. Although telemedicine has been in the news a lot lately, it is not a new concept. For decades, radio transmission and satellite technologies have brought healthcare services to rural or remote areas. This allowed individuals to reach out for help during times of natural disaster, while also keeping the providers safe when working with patients. 

With recent advancements in technology, you now have the opportunity to connect with one of our fibroid specialists anytime, anywhere. Many health providers have turned towards telemedicine solutions to provide more accessible medical care. This is not only convenient, but helps protect you and our medical staff from illness. 

Benefits of Telemedicine 

Our telemedicine services offer a range of benefits, including:

Convenience: There are few people that want to disrupt their busy schedules to travel to an appointment and wait around for a quick conversation with a doctor. We understand that you may need to take time off work for appointments; or you may have to pay for childcare for each appointment. Telemedicine can save you time while connecting with an established practitioner.

Expanded Access to Medical Care: Instead of potentially avoiding the doctor, expanded access to telemedicine makes it easier to discuss symptoms and health issues with a medical professional. This is particularly helpful if you are home-bound, or if you lack reliable transportation. As an added bonus, telemedicine services can give you better access to far-away specialists.

Improved Quality of Care: Similar to those working within a clinical setting, telemedicine enables our doctors to observe your symptoms and determine whether if treatment is necessary. Depending on your condition, they may recommend you come into the office for an immediate procedure.

Better Patient Engagement: When you are more engaged in your own healthcare, you’re more likely to follow through on medical recommendations. For example, attending a follow-up appointment via telemedicine enable you to stay in touch with your specialist, so you can stay focused on your overall health.

Affordable Care from Professionals: Our telemedicine services are conducted by our various licensed physicians and specialist. These services are covered by most insurance plans including Medicare. If you want to verify your insurance coverage before you schedule an appointment, just give us a call at 855.615.2555.
