Make sure you are tech-ready
You will need an up-to-date smartphone, tablet or PC for a remote consultation, along with a reliable broadband or cellular connection to the internet, especially for video.

Check insurance and cash pay options
Consult a member of our team for a list of accepted insurance plans or to discuss cash payment options.

Make an appointment
Call one of our offices or use the 'Request Appointment' button on our website to make a virtual appointment. Our team will provide instructions to download our patient portal app, and/or will email or text you a link for the appointment. Prior to the virtual visit, we may contact you to digitally sign HIPAA and other consent forms.

Join the waiting room
Using the app or link provided previously, join your session approximately 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment. You may be placed in a digital waiting room before the session with a doctor begins.

The doctor is in
When your appointment begins, the doctor will be seen on the screen (or heard on a phone). Plan for a 45-60 minute initial appointment and 20-30 minute follow up appointments.
