Telemedicine Services in Anaheim CA, Close to Disneyland

Telemedicine is also known as telecare, telehealth, or virtual visits with a doctor. The visit you’ll have with a SoCal Urgent Care doctor will be over the phone or via online video conference. For the latter, you’ll need a:

– Decent internet connection
– Computer or another device with a camera or microphone

Once you have those two things, you’ll be ready for a virtual visit with a doctor. Or if you don’t have those things, you can just get telemedicine over the phone. Here’s how your appointment will go:

– You’ll tell one of our doctors about your symptoms and health
– If applicable, the doctor will perform a visual examination or, if necessary, suggest a face-to-face evaluation
– The doctor will provide a diagnosis
– The doctor will recommend a treatment like a prescription or, in some cases, treatment at our clinic’s curbside

There are many, many health-related issues that can be addressed with telemedicine! Here’s a list of some of the many issues telemedicine can treat, and if you don’t see a particular condition on this list, you’re free to call and ask us about it:

There are some health-related issues that can’t be addressed with telemedicine, so it’s necessary to come see us in person for certain issues. It’s absolutely necessary to call 911 for any life-threatening or possibly life-threatening issues. Significant chest pain or difficulty breathing are examples of these issues.

Generally, yes, it is! In fact, it can be significantly less expensive.
