Telemedicine

Through modern telemedicine, you have the ability to receive the personalized primary care services you need to thrive, no matter your physical location. That’s why Amanda Aydin, FNP-C, of Visiting Medical Clinic, LLC, offers both in-person care through the Las Vegas, Nevada, office, as well as telehealth services delivered from Colorado Springs, Colorado. To explore how telemedicine might align with your needs, book a visit online or by phone today. 

How does telemedicine work?

Telemedicine uses modern video technology to connect patients and practitioners in real-time. You can complete a telemedicine appointment using a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or even a video-equipped cell phone. 

This approach is a wonderful fit for people who lead busy lives. Business executives and people who travel for work love the ease of access that telemedicine offers, but busy parents and college students also find this option to be a convenient way to meet their primary care needs. 

Telemedicine is also beneficial for people who have compromised immune systems. Those who have mobility challenges are also a great fit for telemedicine.  

What kinds of needs can be effectively met through telemedicine visits?

There are certainly limitations to what can be accomplished through remote medical visits. That said, you might be surprised to learn how many primary care services you can access through a telemedicine appointment. 

You can receive routine health and wellness guidance through telehealth visits, including many of the services that are delivered during men’s and women’s health appointments. Medical weight loss support is another service that aligns well with remote visits. 

If you have one or more chronic health conditions, telemedicine is a wonderful way to receive ongoing chronic disease management. You’ll still need to come in for periodic screenings and lab work, but you can receive professional support and services focused on lifestyle modifications through telemedicine visits. 

Even certain acute care needs can be met remotely. Amanda can diagnose a wide range of common health issues during telemedicine visits and provide necessary prescriptions remotely.  

How should I prepare for my telemedicine visit?

Taking a few moments to prepare can help you make the most of your telemedicine appointment. Consider where to set up for the visit. Find a place out of the way of household or office traffic, and set up where you have access to a power source. 

Lighting is also important, as Amanda needs to see you clearly to assess your condition. Find a spot near a window or move a lamp to improve lighting. 

As with all health visits, creating a written list of questions and concerns may be helpful to ensure that nothing is overlooked during your appointment. 

When you’re ready to give telemedicine a try, book your visit using the simple online scheduling tool or call the office to check appointment availability.
