You can make reservations from your phone, pay bills, and get directions, so wouldn’t it be convenient if you could use your phone to get expert medical care exactly when you need it? At FPA Women’s Health in Downey, California, with multiple locations throughout Los Angeles County, a team of experienced and caring physicians and nurse practitioners offers telehealth services — a video visit with your health care provider right from your phone. Telehealth services let you use your phone to get the health care you need, when you need it, without a trip to the office. Call or request an appointment online.
Telehealth is the use of today’s technology — smartphones, tablets, laptops — to connect with your health care provider. Telehealth allows you to video chat with your provider during your lunch break, while your child is napping, or between classes when it’s most convenient for you. You simply coordinate a visit with your provider at FPA Women’s Health and video chat remotely.
Telehealth makes health care accessible to you when you can’t physically get to your provider for an in-person visit. Other goals include:
Telehealth also opens up the lines of communication between you and your provider so you can receive personalized health care.
FPA Women’s Health telehealth services offer many benefits, including:
With telehealth appointments, you don’t have to interrupt your schedule to get the provider's office.
In some cases, telehealth services also allow your provider to monitor such things as your heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs. They may also be able to prescribe medications or recommend home-care therapies via phone or electronically.
If you’re interested in telehealth, ask your FPA Women’s Health care coordinator if a video visit is right for you. If you qualify, they send you an email with a link for your virtual medical visit. Click the link and answer the questions as prompted.
Then, simply click the “Join Visit” button to video chat with your provider or nurse practitioner. During the virtual visit, you can discuss your current health concerns and ask questions about symptoms. A telehealth visit may also help determine if you need to schedule an in-person appointment for an exam and diagnosis.
