Smart devices open up the world and put information and services at your fingertips. Now, they’re revolutionizing how you access health care. Find out how to use and benefit from our convenient telemedicine offerings.
As technology advances, it changes the way we do everything, from laundry to space exploration.
And when it comes to the world of medicine, innovations have not only improved treatments and surgical procedures, but they’ve also fundamentally transformed the way you meet with doctors and receive care.
Here, our team of experts at YOURx Health, led by Leslie Ford, FNP, takes a closer look at telemedicine services and how you can benefit from them.
Telemedicine services include virtual visits with your highly trained medical provider. You can use any smart device, such as your phone or tablet, to video-chat with us. You have all the same access to treatment as you would if you came into our office.
Here are just some of the ways you can benefit from telemedicine.
Easier access
Is your schedule jampacked? Do you live miles outside of town? Telemedicine may be for you. Schedule and keep an appointment right from the comfort of your own home or office. There’s no need to get a babysitter, take time off work, or fill the gas tank.
Quality care
If seeing a medical provider is as easy as ordering a pizza online, you might be concerned about the level of care you’re getting.
We’re happy to inform you that our telemedicine services are just as effective (and confidential) as in-office appointments. You can be sure that you’re getting the best treatment whether you’re on the phone or here in person.
For example, we can collect all pertinent medical information electronically and even send a phlebotomist to you to draw labs. We also offer direct-to-home prescriptions that arrive in discreet packaging.
Control over contagions
Have you ever been sitting in the waiting room and suddenly someone a few chairs over starts coughing uncontrollably? That’s enough to make you never want to come back — and we’d understand why.
If you’d like to see your provider but skip sitting next to other sick patients, telemedicine might be a good option for you.
Support system
Sometimes seeking medical care on your own can be overwhelming. But when you take your appointment in your home, you can ask a friend or family member to be there with you to help you provide information, ask questions, and remember what your provider says.
Improved health
In the past, you may have put off going for medical care for any number of reasons. Now that you can see a provider almost any time you’d like, you can make your health a priority and get the care you need quickly.
