Virtual visit?  What's that?

​

A virtual visit is just that; a visit through a computer or phone.  The nice thing about a virtual visit is that it is convenient and fast.  They take place where you are.  They may not take place at the exact time that you want though. So, you have to be flexible.  But, hey!  You won't necessarily have to wait in a pesky waiting room.  I say, necessarily, because sometimes you will be referred to urgent care or back to your PCP. 

​

I know when you call in, you will want your problem fixed right now, but that isn't what telemedicine is all about.  It is more of a way to speak with a physician to get their opinion on what to do next.  It doesn't mean that you will get a medication every time or that your problem is even going to be fixable virtually.
