Video Visits available in Primary Care
7/6/2020
Your primary care providers in the Department of Family Medicine and the Divisions of Community Internal Medicine and Community Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine would like to remind you of our availability for video visits.
All primary care providers are trained in video visits and anyone with a Patient Online Services account can easily participate.
Video visits are particularly good for certain types of appointments, such as mental health-related follow-up visits, skin conditions, medication and treatment plan questions, or if you have questions where face-to-face shared decision making needs to occur but an exam is not needed.
Video visits save you time and travel. Many patients have found it convenient to schedule these during a work day when on a break. If you would like to schedule a video visit, please call or message your primary care appointment scheduler with the request and they will be happy to help you.
Below are two helpful videos that show you how to get going with video visit technology. The first demonstrates setting up from the Patient Online Services website and the second from the Mayo Clinic App.
Your primary care providers are excited to bring you, our patients, more options for finding the type of care you need, when you need it.
