Prepare for your video visit.
You must have an internet-enabled device with a camera and a speakerphone. Depending on the nature of your visit, a thermometer, blood pressure measurement, and a flashlight could be helpful but are not required.
We are pleased to offer video visits as a convenient and safe way to see your physician without leaving your home. A virtual visit is similar to a regular doctor’s visit, except that you can connect with a doctor from the convenience of your own home or any private area where you have an internet or wireless connection.
Virtual visits use live, secure, video technology to allow patients to directly see and speak with their physician through the convenience of their mobile device, tablet or computer. Virtual visits are never recorded, and use encrypted software to ensure your meeting is private and secure. Once you’ve scheduled your virtual visit, your doctor’s office will provide you with instructions on how to access your visit.

Try to log on at least 15 minutes prior to your appointment by typing in the Zoom meeting code provided to you. Allow the device to use your camera and microphone to allow the physician to see and hear you during the visit.
Once you are logged on to the visit, it’s very similar to an in-person visit. Your physician will prompt you with questions, ask you to take certain measurements with the equipment you have at home, and refill prescriptions.
