How to Prepare for Your Telemedicine Appointment
Keep in mind: Unless you have discussed it with us, please count on having your child present for our virtual visit. Have lighting facing your child rather than from behind – it really helps. If you stay still, the image is better. A cool feature of our platform is that we can do a group visit with a parent at work or out of town, with a child at home or at school as long as everybody can access the link.
