What is Telemedicine?

Telemedicine is a secure way for providers to communicate with patients remotely so they can provide better care and flexibility. 

Scheduling a telemedicine consultation provides you the opportunity to have a face-to-face session on your terms without dealing with potentially stressful scenarios like traffic.
