Virtual Clinic Visits – See your primary/specialty care provider from home

Whether you are a new patient or you need to see your regular physician or provider for a medical issue, you can do so from the comfort of your home.
When you call for any non-urgent appointment, ask if the clinic offers Zoom and if your appointment is appropriate for a virtual visit. You can download Zoom. Clinic staff will explain how to access Zoom from either your mobile device or desktop computer, and will give you the Zoom ID to use. You do not have to create a Zoom account to use this service.
All aspects and quality of the visit are similar to an in-person visit, including cost and copays, if required. Most payers cover virtual visits.
Rest assured we never record virtual visits, and they are encrypted to ensure patient privacy.
To learn more about the process, watch our Virtual Visits video.
