Going to the doctor is a time-consuming process. You may have to wait several weeks before an appointment with your primary care physician becomes available. If you are in pain, then waiting several weeks before receiving medical attention is not always an option. However, there are other alternatives. You can book a telemedicine appointment online and receive high-quality medical care from the comfort of your home. This is an excellent option for anyone who does not have time for an in-person appointment. This is also an excellent option for anyone who chooses to stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

California Telemedicine and Urgent Care Frequently Asked Questions
Telemedicine is a doctor’s visit that does not require face-to-face interaction. It occurs 100 percent online. You can use your computer, tablet or smartphone to conduct a telemedicine appointment. This is a great option for people with busy schedules who do not have time to visit their doctor in person. It is also a great option for people in rural areas who do not have the same access to healthcare as people in large cities. Now, patients can meet with a medical professional from the comfort of their own home.
Of course, you cannot receive treatment for every medical issue during a telemedicine appointment. Some medical issues require in-person treatment at our urgent care center. However, you could consider taking advantage of urgent care telemedicine if you are experiencing the following health concerns.
- Certain respiratory conditions, including colds and seasonal allergies
- Ear, nose and throat ailments
- Certain skin rashes or infections
- Headaches
- Joint aches and pains
- Nausea or vomiting
You could also consider taking advantage of urgent care telemedicine under the following circumstances.
- Reviewing your lab or test results
- Following up on a previous medical visit
