Are there any advantages to telemedicine?
Telemedicine has several advantages. One advantage is
that patients have access to the best doctors,
regardless of where they live. Distance is no longer a
barrier to good care. Our youth have also grown up in
the age of technology; they feel comfortable with it and
it is familiar to them. Another advantage is the sense
of anonymity afforded by videoconferencing with
telemedicine. Many people feel more relaxed and less
intimidated speaking to a doctor online. You will not
feel rushed or minimized with our doctor who is caring,
interested and attentive to your needs.
