We are excited to offer you this new telehealth service.
Why are we doing televideo healthcare visits?
- To provide the highest quality care possible during these times, we need to see things like rashes and swollen areas.
- Caring for the whole person means that we want to create a relationship with our patients. That is more easily done when we see someone face to face.
To schedule a visit, please call one of our doctor’s office locations.

TeleHealth Success Stories:
“I outreached a lovely patient of ours, 70 y/o. She lives alone, so her anxiety had understandably escalated with covid and social distancing/isolation. The first time I did a CCM outreach call she was through the moon that the clinic was checking in on her and kept saying how amazing it was. The next time we scheduled a video visit, she was considerably anxious when I called her because she felt embarrassed that she hadn’t figured out how to download the zoom app. She had been dreading my call because of her anxiety about the video call. I walked her through the download and troubleshooted audio/video etc, when my face popped up on her screen she was SOOO excited and found the visit very helpful not just for her anxiety but for social connection. Her friends had been telling her about zoom but she just didn’t feel like she could do it, so hadn’t tried. She plans to try video calling her friends with zoom now! And we have a scheduled video call in May that she feels confident about.” – Melissa, Piedmont staff member
