Telemedicine is a great option for patients that are unable to travel to our office due to lack of transportation or if you’re out of town. Currently we are offering telemedicine for those that may be experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, patients that are being self-quarantined, or for those that do not want to schedule an office visit for fear of coming into contact with the Novel Coronavirus.
Telemedicine can be used to receive care for any medical matter that doesn’t require an in-person visit to the office. This actually represents a large number of issues you might connect with your doctor about, ranging from management of a chronic condition to handling acute issues that don’t require a physical examination. If at any point your doctor feels it is most appropriate to see you in person, they will let you know – otherwise there are many situations where you can conveniently get the care you need, wherever you happen to be.
Some examples include:
It is important to note that the Hale app is not intended for medical emergencies. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency seek immediate care by calling 911.
Kanan Medical has integrated with Hale Health, a telemedicine platform to make healthcare delivery simple and easy.
Simply schedule your telemedicine appointment by calling a front desk representative at 407-767-0009 or request an appointment on our website and a front desk representative will contact you to schedule.
After scheduling your telemedicine appointment with your healthcare provider you will be prompted with a text message and/or email to download the Hale Health app. If you already have a hale account and would like to use your desktop or labtop camera click here.
