Telemedicine Urgent Care

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine at WithCare Clinic consists of virtual meetings with a family medicine provider in which they evaluate your health, symptoms, medical history, and medications. But rather than meeting with a health care provider in person, you simply chat with them via your phone, tablet, or computer. 

What are the benefits of telemedicine?

The advantages of telemedicine at WithCare Clinic include:

• Convenience
• Privacy
• Time savings
• No sick patient exposure
• No need to travel

Choosing telemedicine over in-person appointments means you don’t have to take time off work or find childcare. You can meet with a provider from the comfort of your home, office, car, hotel, or another location of your choice.

Which conditions can telemedicine address?

Telemedicine appointments can address the following concerns and more:

• COVID-19
• Flu
• Severe colds
• Pink eye
• Sore throat 
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
• Allergies
• Asthma
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea 
• Erectile dysfunction (ED) in men
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Arthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns
• Eczema, shingles, or other skin conditions  

WithCare Clinic also offers in-person appointments if you need hands-on care or specific diagnostic tests. The practice accepts same-day, next-day, and walk-in appointments. 

What happens during telemedicine visits?

Your WithCare Clinic provider calls you during your scheduled telemedicine appointment time. They discuss the reason for your visit and your medical history, symptoms, and current medication regimen. 

Your medical provider completes a virtual physical exam, if necessary, to look for signs of possible health issues. If you need in-office diagnostic testing or hands-on treatment, such as splinting, an electrocardiogram (EKG), or blood testing, they recommend an in-person appointment. 

The WithCare Clinic providers may suggest watchful waiting, home remedies, over-the-counter or prescription medications, or other treatments. They might refer you to another specialist or hospital care if you have a complex or life-threatening medical concern. 

When should I schedule telemedicine appointments?

Schedule virtual medical appointments at WithCare Clinic for follow-up care or if you have a non-life-threatening injury or illness. However, if you have a life-threatening medical issue, call 911 or go to a nearby emergency room. 

See your family medicine specialist if you seek help managing a disease or have questions about your or a family member’s well-being.
