Telemedicine Visits at PACS Urgent Care in Alexandria and Ruther Glen, VA

A telemedicine visit is pretty much the same as an in-person visit with a doctor, but at home and over the phone or internet! You can either call a doctor or have a videoconference with one. For a videoconference, all you need is internet, as well as a smartphone or a computer with a camera and/or microphone. You can receive remote diagnosis and treatment during a telemedicine visit. It really is an amazingly convenient way of receiving healthcare! Generally, it works like this:

• You’ll connect with a medical professional in a video conference or over the phone
• You’ll discuss your symptoms and any concerns you have
• If applicable, the doctor will give you a visual evaluation, or if required, the doctor will ask you to go to the clinic for an in-person evaluation
• The doctor will provide you with a diagnosis or, if necessary, ask you to go to the clinic for testing in-person
• The doctor will recommend a treatment for you like a prescription or, if required, ask you to go in for treatment

Minor injuries, minor illnesses, and common symptoms like flu symptoms can be addressed in a telemedicine visit. Visual physical evaluations, prescriptions, referrals, and other services can be provided too. Generally, these telemedicine services are easily affordable for most patients.
