Telehealth Available for Patients Throughout GA, NC & TN

Sometimes you need care for an illness or injury but want to avoid leaving the house. Maybe you don’t have childcare or transportation, you’re concerned about contagiousness, or you simply don’t feel up to getting out of bed. Whatever the reason may be, telehealth doctor appointments offer the ideal solution. Telehealth allows you to speak to a medical provider from the comfort of home using a video-enabled phone, tablet, or computer.

Fortunately, Erlanger Express Care offers industry-leading telehealth services for patients in Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Our urgent care centers treat adults and children over 2 years old, and we’re pleased to make telehealth available to patients in our service area.

The Benefits of Using Telehealth Online Appointments

More and more people are opting to use telehealth services rather than attend in-person doctor appointments. It’s no wonder why, considering the many benefits offered by telehealth visits.

Safety

If you’re feeling under the weather, your immune system may be more vulnerable than usual, and staying home will reduce your chances of catching another infectious illness. Plus, using our telehealth service will prevent you from passing on your contagions to others.

Convenience

When you’re not feeling well, the last thing you want to do is get dressed and drive across town for a medical appointment. Even if you feel up to leaving the house, transportation issues, a busy schedule, or a lack of childcare could make it difficult for you to do so. In those instances, telehealth is a much more convenient option.

Of course, in-person visits are still sometimes necessary—for example, when a patient requires lab testing or has a condition that requires hands-on care. If you’re unsure which option is right for you, just give us a call and we’ll be able to tell you whether telehealth is appropriate for your circumstances.

What to Expect During Your Telehealth Visit

When you schedule a telehealth appointment with Erlanger Express Care, we’ll provide you with detailed instructions for how to access our system. Once you connect, you’ll be able to speak to one of the knowledgeable providers on our team. We’ll ask you about the symptoms you’re experiencing—including when and how they began, whether they’ve improved or worsened over time, and whether any treatments have provided relief—and we’ll also review your personal and family medical histories. Based on that conversation, we’ll provide you with personalized care recommendations.
