If a patient has a blood pressure cuff, thermometer and/or a scale, it is helpful for a telehealth visit but not required.

 

To schedule an appointment, patients would call the respective office. A representative would walk the patient through the process.

“Our patients have told us how much they appreciate this alternative to coming into the office for certain visits,” said Andrews. “It is convenient and allows patients to receive healthcare from the safety of their own home.”
