Telehealth in Panama City, FL

With the help of telemedicine we are able to bring our services to you, overcoming the barriers of time, distance, and even illness so that you have access to your provider when you need it most.

Telemedicine allows us to deliver a unique consultation experience to you remotely using HIPAA compliant video conferencing tools. This service allows you to connect to your provider with ease in a timely manner, and is designed with the patient in mind to be very user-friendly. Virtual consultations can be done using devices that most patients have easy access to such as a smartphone or a computer with a built-in video camera, so you won't need to worry about having any specialized equipment.

Using our telemedicine service is simple, and our friendly staff would be happy to answer any questions you may have about utilizing this service prior to your appointment.

Some appointments are mostly conversation. Going over how a new plan is working, reviewing results, talking through a change in symptoms, or checking in on something already being managed — these do not always require being in the room, and they are the appointments telemedicine handles well.

The barriers it removes are practical ones: time, distance, and even illness. An afternoon off work, a drive across town, or the reluctance to sit in a waiting room when you already feel unwell are all real reasons appointments get postponed, and a postponed appointment is often the one that causes trouble later.

Other appointments still need an examination or a test, and we will say plainly when that is the case. Telehealth is one of the ways we see you rather than a replacement for the rest. We strive to create individualized treatment plans for each of our patients as each person has a unique history and unique needs, and how you are seen is part of that.

You need a device with a camera — a smartphone, or a computer with a built-in video camera is enough. There is nothing to buy and no specialized equipment involved. Our friendly staff would be happy to answer any questions you may have about utilizing this service prior to your appointment, so ask when you book rather than working it out on the day.

The appointment itself runs much like an in-person one. We go through what has changed, what you are noticing, and what you have been taking, then talk through the plan. Have your medications in front of you, along with any readings or results you have been keeping.

Sit somewhere quiet, with a reasonable connection, where you are comfortable talking. If it becomes clear during the consultation that you need to be examined or tested, an in-person appointment is arranged. Call (850) 481-1101 to set one up.
