What is Telehealth?
Eden Internal Medicine PLLC now offers telehealth services for all new and established patients. Telehealth – using your home computer, smartphone, or tablet with a camera and secure internet connection – allows you to connect virtually with your physician or provider without coming into the office.
You may now see your provider – including your primary care doctor virtually. Telehealth, also known as telemedicine, allows you to receive confidential services from any private, remote location that works for you, removing many day-to-day barriers that may otherwise keep you from getting the care you need. Our virtual doctor’s visits are appropriate to evaluate medical conditions including mild and most moderate illnesses, and concerns about infection with COVID-19.
