Telehealth Q&A
What is Telehealth?
As times change, Claude Mandel Medical Center has continued to adapt and anticipate the needs of our patients and the community. That’s why we’ve instituted a way to provide the health care you need even if you can’t come to either of the practices offices.
With a telehealth appointment (phone or video), you can PRIVATELY discuss your health concerns and ask Dr. Johnson questions through an app on your iPhone or Android phone, tablet, or computer.
Dr. Johnson can recommend treatments you may use at home, and she can also prescribe any necessary medication during your telehealth appointments.
When you need urgent care but also need the most convenient way to get it, a telehealth appointment with Claude Mandel Medical Center could be a great solution for you. Dr. Johnson schedules virtual appointments around the clock using the online forms on this website.
