How does it Work?
How is Telemedicine Conducted?
A telemedicine appointment is relatively simple. It typically involves a virtual meeting between you and one of our doctors at a time you specify is convenient. Our visits are mainly conducted over the phone; video chat is only required when you have concerns about visual symptoms or you request it. When one of our specialists reaches out to you, they will determine what you need to do during your visit.
Telemedicine requirements are simple, with various platforms and applications designed for this purpose. Most of the latest computers and smart phones have webcams that work well for medical e-visits. During your visit, you will be asked to provide your medical history as well as information about your vein, mental health or other medical condition/symptoms to the vein specialist, psychiatrist or other doctor for further discussion. For your convenience, you can now make online payment using our secure service at the time of setting up your visit.
Uses of Telemedicine
There are a variety of uses for telemedicine, it’s very common for dermatologists or psychiatrists to use this method to consult with their patients. At Care Life Clinic, due to the nature of our treatments, we offer the following visits through our Telemedicine service:
Initial diagnosis — You can consult with a vein doctor, skin specialist or psychiatrist for the first time for all your vein, skin or mental health concerns, to receive a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation. An e-visit also can help determine what type of care you may need. Treatment recommendations and Prescription Medications are sent to the patient after the visit is completed.
Monitoring vein, skin or mental disorders — If you have been diagnosed with a disease, our telemedicine visits are a great way for you to meet with our experts to monitor your symptoms and determine any signs of progression or improvement.
Follow-up visits— Our telemedicine service is a useful resource if you’ve already received treatment from us and want to follow-up from your procedure. After your procedure appointment, give us a call to confirm that you want to do your follow-up visit from home. We will set everything up for you and reach out to you at a time most convenient to you.
Accessible Care From Our Experts
As technology and healthcare continue to advance, telemedicine is becoming increasingly popular. The cost-savings and convenience help make quality care from professionals accessible to anyone suffering from vein or other diseases. We know that vein disease often causes painful symptoms. We don’t want anyone to sit at home in pain because they believe they can’t get treatment.
Telemedicine is also excellent and very convenient for skin disease diagnosis and recommendations as well as for psychiatric and mental health conditions.
Think of your telemedicine visit just as a normal doctor visit where you go to the clinic. The difference is that you will meet with the doctor over the phone or through video chat to discuss your condition.
