Telemedicine vs. In-Person Visits: What's Right for You

Telemedicine has changed how many people access primary care, offering a convenient option for certain visits. But it's not a replacement for every type of appointment, so it helps to know when each option makes sense.

What Telemedicine Can Offer

Telemedicine visits can be a convenient way to connect with a provider for certain types of care without needing to travel to the office. We offer telemedicine for select visit types, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm whether it's a fit for what you need.

When an In-Person Visit Makes Sense

Some care simply requires being seen in person, such as visits that involve a physical exam, lab work, or hands-on evaluation. Your provider or our staff can help you understand which category your visit falls into when you call to schedule.

Choosing What's Right for You

  • Consider whether your visit involves an exam, testing, or a procedure
  • Call ahead to ask whether your specific concern is eligible for telemedicine
  • Factor in your own comfort and access to a private, reliable connection
  • Know that either option connects you with the same primary care team
