TeleMEDICINE means performing virtual visits whether online or via telephone

Telemedicine allows virtual visits via telephone. The telecommunication allows the physician to diagnose and treat the patient remotely. While doctors have been using telemedicine visits for years, the Coronavirus outbreak made it necessary for many visits to be done via telemedicine. We feel that telemedicine – we do not offer Zoom visits for multiple reasons -- offers opportunities to help patients who cannot be seen at the office

We will continue to offer telemedicine visits for the foreseeable future. For many telemed visits, we will ask you to send a picture via email to photos@riverviewpediatrics.org.
