Healthcare professionals have been looking for an effective digital alternative to urgent walk-in clinics for years. Not only is telehealth more accessible for patients who require urgent care, but it also enables physicians to see more patients per day and reduce wait times for all.
By consulting with a telemedicine doctor via video conferencing, the individual can receive medical care for approximately half of the price of a walk-in clinic appointment. At Advanced Urgent Care of Pasadena, our telemedicine doctors offer all of the aforementioned benefits to patients requiring urgent care.
Reasons to Consult with a Telemedicine Doctor
- For non-emergency situations
If you are suffering from a condition that does not require emergency services, you may want to opt for a consultation with a telemedicine doctor in order to receive urgent care without leaving your home. During these appointments, physicians can advise on treatment, process prescription refills, and perform many other functions that patients would receive during an in-person appointment.
- If you are suffering from a common, non-threatening illness
Common conditions such as the flu, allergy symptoms, and rashes can easily be treated online during a video conference session with a physician. At Advanced Urgent Care of Pasadena, we are able to diagnose and fulfill prescriptions for a plethora of common illnesses during a convenient telemedicine session. Patients can simply focus on rest and recovery, while our physicians provide medical advice through a computer, tablet, cell phone, or any other device that allows access to video and audio functions.
- If it is difficult for you to leave your home
In recent months, it has become increasingly difficult for elderly and immuno compromised individuals to leave their home due to the risk of being affected by the coronavirus. Additionally, those who have mobility issues may not be able to visit a walk-in clinic immediately at the sign of an urgent health issue. If you have trouble leaving your home for any of these reasons, consulting with a telemedicine doctor may be the perfect solution. At Advanced Urgent Care of Pasadena, our clinicians seek to help patients as quickly as possible and at an affordable rate whether they have medical insurance or no insurance. Telemedicine has made it far easier for us to treat patients who are not able to see one of our healthcare professionals in person.
