The video conference is completely secure and confidential, and nothing is recorded or kept in any way.
When you schedule a telehealth appointment, your appointment will be visible in your patient portal. All you have to do is click on that appointment and you will be connected to your provider by video at the time of your appointment. If you do not have a patient portal set up, please contact our front desk and they will help you get one established.
What do you need to get started?
