Telemedicine

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine is remote medical care. It’s a way for patients to access health care services without having to visit a doctor’s office. With telemedicine, you meet with your provider through a video call or telephone to get the medical care you need.

Health care is changing, and the team at Northeast Florida Internal Medicine is dedicated to providing patients with the most advanced medical services available, including telemedicine. 

What are the benefits of telemedicine?

Telemedicine offers many benefits for you and the team at Northeast Florida Internal Medicine. These benefits include:

Better accessibility

Getting to the doctor’s office isn’t always easy or convenient and you may skip visits because it doesn’t fit your routine or schedule. With telemedicine, you meet with your provider at Northeast Florida Internal Medicine from any place that’s convenient for you. 

This makes it easier for you to get the care you need without having to change your schedule or routine. All you need is a quiet and private spot with good lighting (for video calls).

Cost savings

Telemedicine also saves money by eliminating travel expenses. You also don’t need to take time off from work or find someone to watch your children.

Improved quality of care

Because telemedicine is more convenient and accessible, you’re more likely to seek care when you need it, ultimately leading to better health outcomes for you. 

At Northeast Florida Internal Medicine, you come first. Their telemedicine service gives you more options for care.
