What is telehealth?

Telehealth provides direct access to medical care through a virtual video conferencing platform. Virtual visits allow you to meet with medical professionals remotely when you’re unable to travel to the office.

Internal Medicine PGH offers telehealth visits for adults and children. Virtual appointments are available for:

• Symptom evaluation
• Treatment monitoring
• Prescription refills
• Urgent care assessments
• Mental health screenings
• Chronic disease management
• Medication management follow-ups

The experienced medical team provides a range of healthcare services virtually, so you can keep up with your medical appointments. They specialize in internal medicine, geriatrics, preventive care, and holistic health services.

How does telehealth work?

During your initial telehealth visit, you meet with the Internal Medicine PGH team at a prescheduled appointment time. You can access the virtual platform on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

A face-to-face meeting with your provider gives you an opportunity to address health concerns. The provider can also evaluate any symptoms you have and determine if you need to be seen in the office for a physical exam, lab work, or imaging tests.

Telehealth visits are available for prescription refills and to ask any questions you have about your treatment plan. Your provider also monitors your progress with medications and other treatments during virtual appointments.

What are the benefits of telehealth?

The telehealth services at Internal Medicine PGH offer many benefits for people who need consistent, high-quality healthcare to manage an acute illness or chronic disease.

Telehealth visits ensure you have access to your medical provider if you develop new symptoms that need a prompt diagnosis. You save time and money by meeting with your provider virtually to discuss your next steps instead of going to the nearest urgent care center or hospital.

Telehealth visits also give you access to expert medical care, even if you live too far from the office, don’t have reliable transportation, or have a busy schedule. Virtual access to your physician prevents missed appointments and rescheduling conflicts.
