What Can You Expect During a Virtual Care Appointment?
Getting ready for a virtual appointment may be new for many, but we make it easy and stress-free. Here’s what a typical session looks like:
Preparation
Before your appointment, we’ll send a link and any instructions you need. Make sure you’re in a quiet, private area with a good internet connection. A computer, tablet, or smartphone works well.

At your scheduled time, you’ll connect with one of our compassionate and experienced providers. Your provider will review your health history, ask about any symptoms, and listen carefully to your concerns.
Receiving Expert Guidance
Expect the same level of care, attention, and expertise as you would in person. We can discuss new or ongoing symptoms, adjust medications, or provide referrals if needed.
Post-Appointment Support
After your session, you’ll receive follow-up instructions, next steps, and information on scheduling further appointments if necessary. Our team is here for you every step of the way.
