During a telehealth appointment, we will meet via a secure and HIPAA-complaint video link on your computer, phone or tablet. The link you use will be sent to you in the email reminder three days before your appointment.. Please click on the link and test it out before our appointment time to make sure you are all set and ready to go when we meet. Selecting the link on a desktop or laptop computer will open a new tab or window. Here is a list of tips for successful telemedicine appointments:

Test out the telemedicine link when you receive your email.

Please have the phone or computer stationary. You can prop it up against a wall or another object.

We will need download speeds of at least 10 MPS. If you have limited bandwidth, ask your house mates to limit their use of data if you are sharing wifi.
